Match Prediction

Based on the teams' recent performances, Nepal seems to be struggling with a win percentage of 38.46% in the last year. Scotland has a slightly higher win percentage of 60% in the same time period. However, the match can go either way as both teams have shown great form in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2.

The key to success for Nepal will be their batsmen, led by Kushal Bhurtel and Rohit Paudel. These experienced players have to come good and take the team to a strong total.

For Scotland, their bowlers have been in the limelight with Brad Currie, Brad Wheal, and Mark Watt taking wickets regularly. If the Scottish bowlers can get the top order of Nepal out cheaply, they will be in a strong position to win.

In the last five matches between the two teams, Nepal has a narrow edge with 4 victories to Scotland's 3.
