Nepal are favourites to win
Papua New Guinea will take on Nepal at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground, Oman in first ODI. The match is slated to start at 11:00 AM local time.
Papua New Guinea hasn't played since World Cup qualifiers in 2019. The team reached the final but lost to Netherlands in the summit clash. Before the final, they had defeated teams like Namibia, Kenya, Singapore, Netherlands and Bermuda. It must be noted that all these were T20I games. Papua New Guinea would certainly look to carry on from where they left in the qualifiers. The only question is if they can transform that form into 50 overs games. They'll be up against Nepal, who are fresh from a tri-series win involving Malaysia and Netherlands. Nepal has a very strong side and will pose a stern challenge to Papua New Guinea. Both teams have not played a lot of 50 overs cricket and the team that can make that transformation quickly will have an advantage.
Pitches for the series should be on the slower side, as has been th case in Oman. Scores over 220 should be challenging.
