KATHMANDU, Feb 14: Nepal has won the toss for the final match between Canada and Nepal at the ICC World Cricket League Division Two on Wednesday. It is a must-win game for Nepal to qualify for the ICC World Cup 2019 Qualifiers to be held in Zimbabwe.


Home team Namibia’s win over Kenya on Tuesday has placed it at the second position in the points table above Nepal. Although Namibia and Nepal have equal points (six) on the table, the latter is ranked lower due to negative run rate.
