In this article we will be analyzing the UAE-W vs NEP-W Match Prediction. United Arab Emirates Women will take on Nepal Women in Match 1 of the Women’s Asia Cup T20 2024 at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium in Dambulla on July 19. UAE are coming off as champions in the recently concluded ACC Premier Cup. On the other hand, Nepal have a baggage of not being able to win a single game in any of the biennial tournaments they have been part of. Moreover, Nepal’s captain, Indu Barma has stated that their first target is to beat UAE.
Both teams have placed in Group A and the particular group looks highly competitive with the likes of India and Pakistan. UAE would like to have an upper hand on Nepal to upset either India or Pakistan going forward. Nepal, however, would like to start on a winning tone before waging the battle against giants in their upcoming fixtures. The Nepalese have an edge in grasping the Sri Lankan conditions earlier than UAE going into the game.
