CAN vs NEP Team Preview & Squads

Canada  

Canada would be keen to seize the opportunity presented by being at home to lead the tri-series early. CAN has struggled against stronger opponents and hasn’t been playing well lately. In this game, they will count their chances, and Kirton anticipates a powerful performance from his team.

Although Rayyan Pathan and Aaron Johnson haven’t been playing well, CAN anticipates a solid performance from the two. The team’s main batsman, Nicholas Kirton, will aim to perform well in the middle order alongside Shreyas Movva and Harsh Thaker. The team will look to Parveen Kumar, Ravinderpal Singh, and Saad Bin Zafar for runs in the bottom middle order. 

They have a strong bowling assault, and Dillon Heyliger and Kaleem Sana should put on a strong performance with the new ball, according to the team.

Nepal

Nepal has lost form in the last few months, after earning headlines for their steadiness at the beginning of the year. NEP is anticipated to make a significant return in this competition after being unable to compete in the most recent World Cup. They have seasoned players, and Paudel is hoping for a powerful performance from them.

NEP anticipates a great performance from the opening duo of Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh. The club needs the middle to perform well, as they anticipate runs from Rohit Paudel, Anil Sah, and Kushal Malla. In the lower middle order, Dipendra Singh Airee and Lalit Rajbanshi will be expected to carry the bulk of the workload. 

The conditions will be a little difficult for the bowlers. To put pressure on the hosts and perform effectively with the new ball, they need Sompal Kami and Dipendra Singh Airee. With Rohit Paudel, Sandeep Lamichhane gives the attack an extra dimension, and he will want to perform well in the middle overs. The group anticipates strong performances from Rajbanshi and Bhim Sharki in the supporting parts.
