Nepal-W vs Uganda-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s 5th T20I between Nepal Women and Uganda Women?

The Nepal Women would be hoping to sign off on a high by getting the better of Uganda Women in the fifth and final T20I at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur on May 21. Uganda have already sealed the series having won the first three games. However, the hosts showcased an outstanding display in the fourth game to come out on top by 15 runs and would be eager to carry the momentum forward in this inconsequential clash.

While Nepal W did manage a well-deserved win in the last match, it has been the visitors who have dominated the proceedings overall including bundling out the hosts cheaply for 99 a couple of days ago. They would be hoping to showcase a similar performance and end this bilateral series on a dominating note even though a clean sweep is not possible as of now.

Pitch Report

It is to be noted that the average score in the series has been in and around the 100-run mark and batting is not at all easy on the Kirtipur surface by any means. At the same time, the spinners have also been getting a lot of assistance on this pitch as well. While it is a tough wicket to bat on, the captain that wins the toss would be hoping to have a bowl first and look forward to restricting the opposition to a manageable total. Nonetheless, a total in excess of 100 can be a challenging one while chasing.

Probable Playing XIs for Nepal Women and Uganda Women

Nepal Women

Jyoti Pandey (wk), Bindu Rawal, Sita Rana Magar, Indu Barma, Sarita Magar, Roma Thapa, Rubina Chhetry (c), Dolly Bhatta, Kabita Kunwar, Sabnam Rai, Sangita Rai

Uganda Women

Kevin Awino (wk), Leona Babirye, Janet Mbabazi, Concy Aweko (c), Rita Musamali, Franklin Najjumba, Sarah Walaza, Phiona Kulume, Rita Nyangendo, Sarah Akiteng, Evelyn Anyipo

Probable Best Batter of the Match: Kevin Awino

While Kevin Awino was run out for just 11 runs to her name in the last game, in a contest that had no exemplary batting performances to boast of, all eyes will be on her after her match-winning knock in the third T20I where she scored 42 runs off 51 balls that included four fours. Kevin would be expected to come up with a much better performance this time around.

Probable Best Bowler of the Match: Concy Aweko

The Uganda skipper Concy Aweko’s spell might not have turned out to be a match-winning one in the fourth game but, it was good enough to ensure that Nepal did not breach the three-figure mark and were all out for 97 in the 18th over. She finished with figures of 3/13 from her four overs at an economy rate of 3.25. The visitors need their captain to provide breakthroughs with the ball once again in order to take a 4-1 lead.
