Nepal concluded their tour of Canada in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 without securing a victory, as their final match against Oman was abandoned due to inclement weather, with no play occurring. This no-result match provided Nepal with their initial point in the League 2 standings, following a disappointing five-match losing streak that dates back to February. Throughout the series, Nepal was unable to secure a win, having lost six of their eight matches. They currently occupy the seventh position in the eight-team standings, amassing a total of three points. The only victory for Nepal in this second edition of the League 2 occurred in the inaugural tri-series at the TU Cricket Ground, where they defeated the Netherlands convincingly by nine wickets. Under the captaincy of Rohit Paudel, Nepal faced two defeats against Namibia and another loss to the Netherlands in the home tri-series. In the Canadian series, Nepal’s performance included an initial loss to the host nation by 103 runs, followed by a narrow one-wicket defeat against Oman in their second match, and yet another loss to Canada in the series’ third match, this time by five wickets.

Oman is in sixth place with just six points, and they, too, experienced a no-result game against Scotland. Looking ahead, Nepal is scheduled to participate in a T20I tri-series against Canada and Oman, before heading to the United States for another series that will also include Scotland. The United States presently holds the second position in the standings with a total of 12 points.
