Nepal is out of the Super Eight race, but their recent game against South Africa excited fans. Rohit Paudel and his team nearly caused an upset. They will now aim for a win against Bangladesh in match 37 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 on Monday (June 17) at the Arnos Vale Ground in St. Vincent, West Indies.
Bangladesh has a good chance to advance to the next round, but it’s not guaranteed yet. A win or even a rainout will secure their spot.
