NEP vs UAE Match Preview:
Nepal will host UAE in the 2nd T20I at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur on April 21, 2026, with the contest starting at 4:45 PM IST. As the series reaches its decisive stage, both sides will be keenly competing to secure the final result before turning the focus to the ODI format. The Kirtipur venue will once again create an intense atmosphere, and hence, Nepal will look to harness the energy of the home crowd to gain an edge.
The bowling department made a strong impact in the opening encounter as UAE secured a narrow 12-run win after posting 152/6. Muhammad Wasim provided the early momentum with a quickfire 45, while Nepal responded through Deepender Singh Airey’s determined 38. However, UAE’s disciplined bowling, led by Junaid Siddiqui’s 3/22, restricted Nepal to 140/9. At the same time, Sandeep Lamichhane delivered controlled spells with impressive economy and as a result, the match remained tightly contested throughout.
Nepal will now prioritize strong contributions from their top order as Kushal Bhurtel and Asif Shaikh aim to set up a stable platform. Deependra Singh Airy will focus on using Gulshan Jha’s all-round influence to challenge the opposition. In contrast, UAE will rely on their structured approach, with Ayan Afzal Khan playing a key role with spin supported by a disciplined pace unit. Thus, both the teams will go into this encounter with clear intentions as Nepal looks to level the series, while UAE aims for a clean sweep.
