The much-anticipated tri-nation ODI series under the ICC World Cup League Two kicks off this Sunday, featuring Nepal, USA, and Scotland. Nepal’s match against host nation America is set to take place at Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas at 9:15 PM (Nepali time).
As part of the World Cup League Two, Nepal is scheduled to play in nine triangular series, extending until 2027. This current series marks Nepal’s third, following an eight-match journey with a record of six losses, one win, and one cancellation. Currently holding the seventh spot with 3 points, Nepal faces a determined USA, who has secured the second place in the standings with 12 points from nine games (6 wins and 3 losses).
Head-to-Head Record Between Nepal and USA
In ODIs, Nepal and USA have met seven times, with Nepal emerging victorious on four occasions and losing twice, while one match ended in a draw. When playing on home turf, Nepal has maintained a perfect record, winning both matches against the USA. However, matches on American soil have been more balanced, with Nepal winning two, losing one, and drawing another.
In their most recent encounter, Nepal claimed victory over the USA in a game held in Zimbabwe last year. Chasing a target of 208 runs, Nepal reached it comfortably, finishing the match in 43 overs with six wickets in hand.
