Overview
- The match is scheduled for Friday, May 22 at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur, with a 9:15 AM IST start and broadcast/streaming confirmed on FanCode in India, Willow TV in the U.S., and Kantipur Max HD in Nepal.
- The United States top the ICC CWC League 2 table with 38 points while Nepal sit midtable on 22 points, so a U.S. win would strengthen their qualification position and a Nepal victory would narrow the gap.
- Nepal enter the rematch with confidence after beating the USA by nine wickets earlier in the tournament at the same Kirtipur ground.
- Pitch reports and previews describe Kirtipur as increasingly helpful to slower bowlers, putting Nepal’s leading spinners Sandeep Lamichhane and Dipendra Singh Airee at the center of the hosts’ game plan.
- Both outlets published full squads, predicted XIs and fantasy/Dream11 guidance that generally favor the USA on points but highlight Nepal’s spin threats and list key picks such as Monank Patel, Lamichhane and Airee; one preview contained an incorrect venue listing for Etihad Stadium, Manchester.
