Bangladesh top batter – Shakib Al Hasan 10Cric @ 4.5, BET HERE
Bangladesh veteran Shakib Al Hasan showed his prowess with the bat against the Netherlands smashing a brilliant half-century. He is once again expected to step up for his country in the crucial game against Nepal.
Nepal total runs in first 6 overs – 28 or fewer – 1xBet @1.9, BET HERE
Nepal are likely to start slow with Bangladesh bowlers expected to keep the batters quiet upfront. There are chances of them losing wickets too which makes it possible that Nepal will start slow.
Highest individual score – Under 59.5 Parimatch @1.88, BET HERE
The highest individual score of the match is unlikely to go past the 59-run mark as it could be the low-scoring encounter in St Vincent.

Head-to-Head Record Bangladesh vs Nepal
Bangladesh and Nepal are facing each other only for the second time in T20Is. Bangladesh won the only encounter that was played back in 2014.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh are the favourites to make it to Super 8 from Group D at the moment. But they will have to make sure they do not take Nepal lightly on a slow surface in St Vincent. Bangladesh defeated the Netherlands defending 159 runs easily at the same venue and they will need another disciplined all-round effort to seal their place in the next round.
Nepal
Nepal almost created history in their last game against South Africa. They were favourites to chase down 116 runs at the same venue but fell short in the end just to lose by one run. However, they will take the confidence from this game and target Bangladesh who are vulnerable against new teams. Nepal are already knocked out but would want to end their T20 World Cup campaign in a memorable way.
