Nepal are favorites to win
Nepal will take on Namibia in the 1st match of the T20I series. The match will be played at the Mulpani Cricket Ground in Kathmandu and will start at 11:15 AM IST on February 27.
The pitch will be a good surface to bat. The batters should enjoy the conditions as the pitch won’t offer much movement. The spinners will get some balls to turn while a few deliveries can also keep low but it won’t be alarming.

After losing to Namibia twice in the ODI tri-series, Nepal would seek revenge in the T20I series. Nepal had a poor run in the ODI series where they could only manage to win one out of the four games, however, they would be far more competitive in the T20I series. Nepal will see the return of Rashid Khan, along with Sagar Dhakal and Anil Sah in the T20I series.
Anil Sah, Aasif Sheikh and Kushal Bhurtel will be the main batters. Anil and Aasif showed decent form in the ODI series. Aasif hit a couple of fifties in four matches while Anil also registered a 50+ score. Kushal Bhurtel is Nepal’s best batter in this format of the game and also scored a fifty in the last game.
Karan KC, Kushal Bhurtel and Lalit Rajbanshi will be the bowlers to watch out for from Nepal. Karan KC is Nepal’s strike-bowler with the new ball and a lot will rest on him. Lalit was Nepal’s second- leading wickettaker in the ODI series, with six wickets. Bhurtel bagged seven wickets in the ODI series.
Nepal last played T20I in the ICC T20 World Cup Asia finals where they lost to Oman in the summit clash. Nepal also qualified for the T20 World Cup final. Nepal was below par in the recently concluded ODI tri-series and would eye a better performance in the T20Is.

Namibia surprisingly were the best team in the tri-series. They defeated Nepal twice and beat Netherlands once. The team will be high on confidence heading into the game. There are no major changes in the Namibia squad for the T20I series.
Michael van Lingen, Jan Frylink and Gerald Erasmus will be main batters. Namibia batting was not up to the mark but there were a few players who showed some decent form. Gerald Erasmus and van Lingen managed to score a fifty in the ODI series. Jan Frylink also played a couple of decent knock.
The bowling will rest on Gerald Erasmus, Bernard Scholtz and Ruben Trumpelmann. Erasmus was Namibia’s best bowler in the ODI series and bagged 12 wickets. Bernard Scholtz bagged six wickets in the ODI series. Meanwhile, Ruben is also a very good bowler and will be an important part of the T20I team.
Namibia last played a T20I match against Nigeria in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Region Qualifier 2023. Namibia qualified for the T20 World Cup after finishing in the top 2.
JP Kotze, Nikolaas Davin, Michael van Lingen, Gerhard Erasmus (c), Jan Frylinck, JJ Smit, Zane Green (wk), Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Ruben Trumpelmann, Bernard Scholtz, Tangeni Lungameni
Nepal will start the match as favourites. They are a far better team than Namibia in this format of the game. They did lose to Namibia in the ODI series but the T20I series should have different outcome given that the players are more used to T20I format. Back Nepal to win.
