Oman cricket has made considerable advances over the last decade. After becoming an affiliate member of ICC in 2000 and playing their inaugural competitive match in 2002, they regularly competed in multi-nation tournaments before reaching success at ACC Trophy competition.

They achieved another important victory against Ireland in 2023 when they managed to win their inaugural ODI match – an extraordinary moment in team history. Limiting Ireland to 281 runs, they then managed to chase down that target with five wickets remaining thanks to Kashyap Prajapati’s stellar batting performance.

Nepal fared less impressively against Canada and Namibia in the T20I tri-series but still managed to win two matches and one was abandoned, thanks to Aasif Sheikh scoring half centuries and Karan KC making fifty. Gulsan Jha took three wickets. Since then Nepal have been demoted from Division Five of ICC World Cricket League.

What is the position of Nepal in cricket?

Nepal will go into their match against USA on February 8 with high hopes, hoping to claim another win with Karan KC and Gulsan Jha leading their bowling attack, and Aasif Sheikh playing an essential batting role.

Nepal currently ranks 16th in ODI rankings, climbing one spot since last year. This success is especially meaningful as Nepal recently suffered from natural disaster in Bagmati Province, but Rohit Paudel’s team are determined to give Nepalis some hope during such a trying time by finishing in the top four of this tournament and qualify for an ODI World Cup qualifier spot.
