Head-to-Head Record South Africa vs Nepal
South Africa and Nepal are facing each other for the first time in T20Is.
South Africa
South Africa have not been that clinical but they have managed to win three matches and qualify for the Super 8 round. This is their last game in the group stage and they will be keen on staying unbeaten going into the next round. Their top order has been under the scanner so far and a good outing for them will give them some confidence as well.
Nepal
Nepal have played just once in T20 World Cup 2024 so far, against Netherlands and they lost that game. Their clash against Sri Lanka was washed out and for this encounter, they have their premier Sandeep Lamichhane also available. They are in a must-win situation and the Asian side would be keen on going down with a fight.
