This was Nepal’s second triumph against Thailand after a 67-run win in their first meeting. Nepal had previously defeated Kuwait by 108 runs but lost a tight encounter against the UAE by 13 runs.
Nepal, along with the UAE, Kuwait, and Thailand, are competing for a ticket to the 2025 ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup. It will be held in Malaysia. Each team plays two games against the other. The highest-ranked squad receives the ticket to qualification.
Nepal’s next test is a match against Kuwait on Tuesday. They look strongly motivated to secure their place in the tournament.
