The tri-nation series in Zimbabwe got off to an exciting start. Zimbabwe and Nepal fought tooth and nail in the first match at the Indian Association Ground in Singapore. In the end, it was Sean Williams’ Zimbabwe, who won by five wickets after finding themselves in a fair amount of trouble. After the defeat, Nepal will be looking to make amends in their next match versus the home team.

In their last meeting, Singapore slapped Nepal with an 82-run defeat at the very venue in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Region Final. In the same tournament, Singapore remained unbeaten, winning three out of four matches. Paras Khadka and Co looked indifferent in the first match. Only Sompal Kami, Dipendra Singh Airee and Sandeep Lamicchane seemed to be in some sort of rhythm.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch turned out to be helpful for the spinners, especially the leg-break bowlers. The finger spinners can also curb the runs. Batting can be easier once the batters get their eyes in. This venue has favoured the team, batting second and hence, teams should be better off not batting first. The conditions will be clear with the temperature around 28 degrees Celsius.

Team Combinations

Singapore

Surendran Chandramohan, Manpreet Singh and Tim David scored over 100 runs in three matches in the Asian qualifiers and their top order is well and truly in form. Opener Rohan Rangarajan also got a 49 versus Nepal itself. In the bowling department, off-spinner Selladore Vijayakumar and Amjad Mahboob will be key. Janak Prakash and Vinoth Baskaran are decent bowling options as well.

Probable XI

Rohan Rangarajan, Surendran Chandramohan, Tim David, Manpreet Singh (wk), Navin Param, Arjun Mutreja, Janak Prakash, Anantha Krishna, Vinoth Baskaran, Amjad Mahboob (C), Selladore Vijayakumar

Nepal

Nepal may bring in Rohit Paudel in place of Kushal Malla, who was taken to the cleaners. Lamichhane bowled exceptionally, getting three wickets and he needs to be on top of his game. He needs some support though. In batting, the likes of Ishan Pandey and Aarif Sheikh have to get big scores. Airee got 40 and Sompal Kami should get a promotion after he scored 25 off 14 deliveries.

Probable XI

Ishan Pandey, Paras Khadka (C), Aarif Sheikh, Dipendra Singh Airee, Rohit Paudel, Sundeep Jora, Binod Bhandari (wk), Sompal Kami, KC Karan, Sandeep Lamichhane, Abinash Bohara

Probable Top Performers
