Nepal Women’s national side is touring Malaysia to participate in a 5-match T20I series starting on the 29th of May. The final match of the series will be played on the 4th of June. “Nepal Women Set to Make Strong Comeback in Competitive Clash Following Lengthy Break, Bringing Youthful Talent to the Forefront”
After a considerable hiatus, Nepal Women’s cricket team is geared up to return to action with renewed vigor. Their last appearance was in June 2022 at the Asian Cricket Council Women’s T20 Championship, where they showcased their prowess by winning three matches and advancing to the Semi-Finals, which regrettably concluded prematurely due to rain. Preceding the ACC tournament, they exhibited their mettle by clinching a 2-0 victory over Uganda Women in a thrilling 5-match T20I series.
The Nepal Women’s Squad has already been announced, featuring promising young talents such as Sony Pakhrin and Shristi Jaisi. The presence of seasoned players like Rubina Chhetry and Sita Rana Magar further bolsters their prospects in the upcoming series. With a formidable squad at their disposal, Nepal Women are poised to provide stiff competition to the hosts, leaving no room for complacency.
Meanwhile, Malaysia Women’s team enters the series with a strong momentum of their own. Having emerged victorious in their previous three encounters, they exude confidence and pose a formidable challenge for any opponent on their home turf. Undoubtedly, they will not be an easy team to overcome in the upcoming clashes.
