NEP vs USA Match Preview:
Nepal will battle the United States of America in the 109th match of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur on Friday, May 22, 2026, at 9:15 AM IST. Meanwhile, this contest marks the final fixture of Nepal’s thrilling home leg in the tri-series. Both sides will enter the clash with enormous motivation as they chase a crucial victory to strengthen their qualification hopes. Earlier in the tournament, Nepal completely outclassed the United States with a commanding 9-wicket triumph on the same ground, sending a strong statement to the rest of the competition. Consequently, the visitors will now arrive determined to respond with a far stronger performance in this important rematch.
Furthermore, Nepal produced a sensational all-round display in their previous meeting against the Americans. After electing to bowl first, the Nepalese attack dominated the contest brilliantly, with Dipendra Singh Airee tearing through the middle order with a magnificent spell of 4/24. Sompal Kami and Gulshan Jha also delivered crucial breakthroughs, while Sandeep Lamichhane controlled the tempo with his disciplined spin bowling. Although Smit Patel fought valiantly with an impressive 83 and Shehan Jayasuriya added a composed 50, the United States failed to build meaningful partnerships and eventually collapsed for 195. Nepal then answered in ruthless fashion as Kushal Bhurtel unleashed a breathtaking unbeaten century, smashing 120 runs from 118 deliveries. Alongside him, Aasif Sheikh crafted a fluent 58-run innings to completely dismantle the American bowling unit during the chase.
On the other hand, the United States possess enough quality to bounce back strongly despite their previous defeat. Monank Patel’s men will rely heavily on the consistency of Milind Kumar, the attacking intent of Saiteja Mukkamalla, and the experience of Saurabh Netravalkar to challenge the hosts. However, Nepal will once again look to maximize home conditions, especially through their dangerous spin attack led by Lamichhane and Airee. The Kirtipur surface traditionally offers assistance to slower bowlers as the match progresses, which could heavily influence the outcome of this contest. Therefore, fans can expect another intense and high-quality battle between two ambitious teams fighting for valuable points in the League 2 standings.
