Nepal’s inclusion in the tournament comes after their impressive performance in the ACC Women’s Premier Cup held in Malaysia earlier this year. The team, however, faces a tough challenge as they prepare to compete against higher-ranked opponents.
Despite recent practice match losses against Sri Lanka Development, the Nepali women’s team is determined to make their mark on the tournament. The team’s squad includes experienced players like Ruvina Chhetri and emerging talents like Sita Ranamargar.
Nepal’s remaining group stage matches will be against Pakistan on July 21 and India on July 23.
The Nepali women’s cricket team will be looking to improve on their previous Asia Cup performances in 2012 and 2016, where they failed to win a single match.
