The match between the two South Asian nations Nepal and Pakistan will be played at the Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP) at 8:45 NST.

Nepal will next face Sri Lanka on Monday in its second warm-up match at the same venue before the group stage matches.Nepal is in Group D along with India, New Zealand and Ireland and plays against New Zealand in its opening match of the group on January 28 at Fatullah and faces Ireland on January 30 at the same venue. Nepal will play its last group match against India in Dhaka.

Originally, the group was made up of India, New Zealand, Australia and Nepal. However, Australia withdrew from the competition citing security concerns and that forced the International Cricket Council (ICC) to bring Ireland in the group.

Ireland had finished runner-up in the ICC U-19 World Cup Qualifiers held in Malaysia last year after losing the final against Nepal.

Meanwhile, South Africa (332/7 in 50 overs) beat Fiji (49/10 in 30.4 overs) by 283 runs and West Indies (342/4 in 50 overs) defeated Scotland (194/7 in 50 overs) by 148 runs in Friday's warm-up matches.
