Team Nepal (NEP) will face South Africa (SA) in the 31st match of the current T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday, June 15, at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown.
The Netherlands overcame the Rohit Paudel-led side by six wickets in their first game of the tournament; however, their last game was canceled due to heavy rain. Sandeep Lamichhane, one of Nepal’s premier leg spinners, returns this year, putting the country in a strong position to upset the Proteas.
Conversely, Aiden Markram and his team will be playing in their fourth game of the competition in the upcoming game. The African team has won their last three games, taking out Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the Netherlands. Now that they have advanced to the Super Eight stage, South Africa can alter their starting lineup to allow the players sitting on the bench additional playing time.
South Africa vs Nepal head-to-head record:
Interestingly, South Africa and Nepal have never played one another in a cricket match. Neither T20 internationals, one-day internationals, nor test matches have seen these two teams play each other. With cricket being a worldwide sport, this lack of matches is peculiar and indicates a hole in the international schedule. Both sides’ fans are looking forward to their maiden encounter, which will surely add something unique to their cricketing histories and experiences.
