Bangladesh vs Nepal Team Analysis

Bangladesh

Bangladesh managed wins over Sri Lanka and the Netherlands. They lost the game against South Africa by a margin of just four runs. They have played good cricket in potentially three games and now would like to secure their Super 8 spot with a win over Nepal.

The two teams played only one T20I match which was almost 10 years ago in the 2014 T20 World Cup match in Bangladesh. Bangladesh won the match back then as well. The squad looks confident ahead of this game.

Nepal

Nepal are yet to win a game in this World Cup so far, They lost their previous match by just one run. Nepal skipper Rohit Paudel spoke very highly of his team given the fight that they showed against the Proteas. They still have an opportunity to stage an upset if they beat Bangladesh in their final league game.

Bangladesh vs Nepal Key Factors

Pitch Conditions

The venue has hosted seven T20I matches with three matches won each by the team batting first and second. 123 is the average first innings score but Bangladesh’s 159 is the highest score posted batting first.

So there are runs in store for the batters who are willing to grind it out in the middle. Run-scoring has been difficult throughout the World Cup so far.

Form and Fitness 

The Bangladesh team is in a better headspace having won their previous game against the Netherlands. It was a heartbreaking loss for Nepal denying them a chance to rewrite history books.

There are no fitness concerns in either camp. Shakib Al Hasan developed a bit of a cramp against South Africa but he has recovered from it.

Tactical Acumen

Both are still very inexperienced captains of their respective teams. Najmul Hossain Shanto though has plenty of experienced players to fall back on. Not so is the case with Nepal who have a very young squad for this World Cup.
