🏏ICC U19 World Cup 2024:Group D-- NZ vs PAK U19, 22nd Match 🏏 - Page 4

Welcome to this Group D encounter between New Zealand and Nepal. In the warm-up fixtures, NZ suffered a loss at the hands of WI but beat Scotland after that. Nepal too notched up a win against Scotland, however rain played spoilsport in their second practice match against WI. The weather forecast today in East London is absolutely perfect for cricket. The two teams have faced off against each other twice (2006 and 2016) in U19 World Cups with Nepal emerging victorious on both occasions. Dev Khanal and Gulshan Jha have already played a handful of internationals, and that experience could play a big role. New Zealand, who withdrew from the previous WC due to COVID protocols, won all six matches in the East Asia-Pacific qualifiers to make it here. We saw Pakistan register a dominant win against Afghanistan yesterday at the same venue. What's in store today? Let's find out. Toss and team updates are coming up shortly....
