Singapore Team News & Playing 11
Singapore have batted well in both their matches with Tim David, Surendran Chandramohan, Rohan Rangarajan and Manpreet Singh all being amongst the runs. Tim David is the key man in this batting unit. He has scored the most runs for his team in T20Is and has scored 64 not-out and 41 in his two innings in this series. Surendran Chandramohan has scored 58 runs so far and the opener will be expected to provide a brisk start to the innings.
Singapore need to work on their bowling a bit more as their bowlers were not up to the mark in both the matches. Janak Prakash has looked the most impressive of the lot so far having picked three wickets and the onus will be on him to provide the early breakthroughs. Amjad Mahboob is another bowler to watch out for. The skipper is the team's leading wicket-taker in the format and is coming off excellent figures of 4-0-20-2.

Nepal Team News & Playing 11
Nepal will look to their big guns in Paras Khadka, Aarif Sheikh and Dipendra Singh Airee to make sizeable contributions with the bat. Paras Khadka will be the most prized wicket for Singapore as he has shown how dangerous he can be if not dismissed early on. The captain cracked a magnificent ton in the reverse encounter and will look to replicate that batting performance on Wednesday. Aarif Sheikh and Dipendra Singh Airee have also chipped in with a few runs.
Sompal Kami, KC Karan and Sandeep Lamichhane are the big threats in Nepal's bowling attack. Sompal is the second-highest wicket-taker for the team in T20 format. The fast bowler failed to pick wickets in the first two games but he will want to make a big impact in this match. Lamichhane took 3-15 versus Zimbabwe last week and the leg-spinner is likely to finish with the best figures here as well.
Nepal Predicted Playing 11
Paras Khadka (c), Aarif Sheikh, Dipendra Singh Airee, Kushal Malla, Binod Bhandari (wk), Pawan Sarraf, Abinash Bohara, Sushan Bhari, KC Karan, Sompal Kami, Sandeep Lamichhane
Singapore vs Nepal Head to Head

Nepal returned the favor when these two teams met recently in the ongoing series. Batting first, Singapore scored 151/3 in their 20 overs before Nepal completed the chase in 16 overs to secure a comfortable nine-wicket win.

🏆 Singapore vs Nepal Prediction
Singapore are coming into this match having beaten Zimbabwe in their last match - their first ever win over an ICC full member team - and that should boost their confidence. They have the benefit of playing in their own conditions plus the fact that they have won four out of their five T20Is at this ground. Nepal, however, have the psychological advantage of having thrashed the home team just a few days ago. They appear superior in the bowling department with the likes of Sandeep Lamichhane, KC Karan and Sompal Kami, and their skipper Paras Khadka is hitting great form too. Singapore were impressive last time out but we expect Nepal to do the double over them.
Final Verdict: Back Nepal to beat Singapore.
