Japan vs Nepal prediction
Nepal follow up their game against Afghanistan by taking on Japan, who were beaten by 48 runs at the hands of Afghanistan in their last match. They struggled with the bat in that one, bowled out for 81 chasing 130 and the likelihood is that they will struggle again here when considering the quality of Nepal’s slower bowling options.
Expect a contest low in the way of run-scoring, but one with tension in what is likely to be a smaller victory target set by whoever bats first. Nepal’s team is better though and the sensible play would be to back them getting the better of the host nation.
Japan vs Nepal tip: Nepal to win
