Preview

United States of America (USA) and Nepal (NEP) will lock horns in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas on October 18, 5:30 AM (IST). Nepal and USA will be eyeing putting each other under pressure with a win in this game.

USA have been one of the ‘teams in focus’ in T20I cricket for the last couple of months since they outplayed the test-playing nation in Pakistan during the Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Speaking of their last five games, they have won three while losing two, including a 6-wicket win against Namibia in the last game.

On the other hand, Nepal have been through a bit ‘fumbled’ run in their last five games. They have lost three while winning only. However, they are also coming off a 56-run win against Oman. So, it would be quite interesting to see which team carries a winning momentum going forward in the series.
