UAE tour of Nepal 2022 starts on November 14 - get schedule and match times for India

Nepal will lock horns with the UAE in a three-match ODI series, which is set to commence on November 14, 2022. All three fixtures are scheduled to take place at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur in Nepal.

The UAE tour of Nepal 2022 will be the first bilateral series to take place following the conclusion of the T20 World Cup 2022.

The Nepal cricket team is on the back of a successful tour of Kenya, where they whitewashed the hosts in the five-match T20I series followed by three wins in as many ODIs. 

On the other hand, the UAE cricket team played the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 qualifying rounds, where they were unfortunate not to progress to the Super 12s. The Chundangapoyil Rizwan-led side lost the first two games against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka before bagging a consolation win against Namibia. 

Prior to that, UAE played two T20Is against Bangladesh, ending on the losing side in both games.

The last time the UAE cricket team visited Nepal was in 2013 for the ACC T-20 tournament.

Interestingly, the two teams sit close to each other in the ICC ODI team rankings. While hosts Nepal are ranked world No. 19, the visitors sit three spots higher in the 16th position.

Nepal vs UAE head-to-head

Overall, the two sides have faced each other on six occasions in the 50-over format of the game. While UAE have won four of the encounters, Nepal have emerged victorious twice.

UAE and Nepal met in a solitary bilateral series in 2019, where the former hosted three T20Is and as many ODIs. Nepal won both series by a similar 2-1 margins.
