Nepal vs United States Match Prediction: Nepal and the United States of America will look to get a win in their 2nd match of ICC World Cup Qualifiers on June 20th, 2023, at Takashinga Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe.
Nepal lost their first ICC World Cup Qualifiers match against the host side Zimbabwe by 8 wickets after scoring a quite decent total. The bowlers of Nepal did not pose any threat to Zimbabwe batters, who really thrashed the bowlers, and two of them scored centuries.
Nepal needs to stay strong as their next opponents are not as tough as their previous ones, but they still need to perform best because the USA can hurt them if they take them lightly. The batters of Nepal did perform quite well, but the bowler disappointed the team as they could take only two wickets. The team was a bit sloppy in the death overs, where they gave away too many wickets after getting an amazing start.
The United States of America team was quite decent, as they did not suffer a heavy defeat against a top side like West Indies. The bowlers started off the match quite well as they took both openers under 14 runs, but after that, the West Indies team punished the bowlers for being sloppy in the middle phase.
The top order of the United stated failed to give them a good start but then Gajanand Singh stood alone to fight against the West Indies bowlers and scored a century, not letting his team suffer a huge loss. They need to perform better with the bat in the next match if they want any chance to qualify for the world cup main event, which is a pipe dream for now.

Team Preview of Nepal
Nepal will be looking to get their first win in their next match if they want to fight for the qualifying top two spots of the ICC World Cup Qualifiers 2023. They lost their first match against Zimbabwe but will be confident to play against the United States of America team because in the last 6 head to head matches, they won 3 out of 6.
The team needs to stick together and continue their fairy tale story of cricket, which they have been writing since the last year when they wanted 10 wins out of 12 matches to qualify for the ICC World Cup Qualifiers.
Important Players of Nepal in the match against the United States
1- Kushal Bhurtel missed his century by just one run in the last match against Zimbabwe after scoring 99 runs in 95 wickets which is amazing batting by the Nepal batsmen, but in the next match, he needs one more innings like that, and without luck because in the last match, his two easy catches were dropped. In the last two matches, he has been phenomenal with the bat.
2- Sandeep Lamichhane was slop in the last match against Zimbabwe, but the Nepal bowling unit heavily depends on him, and he needs to perform to give his team strength on the bowling side.
3- Aasif Sheikh has been one of the top talents for the Nepal side, as in his last 11 matches, he scored 390 runs with an average of 43.50, and he is the wicketkeeper for the team. Overall, he played 38 ODI matches, scoring 1147 runs with an average of 35.79. He gave a great start for the team in the last match as he scored 66 runs, and with Bhurtel, they had a 171-opening partnership.
Team Preview of the United States Team
The United States of America played quite well against West Indies, which has one of the most explosive batters in the whole world of cricket, but the way they bowled from the start was amazing.
If their bowlers are more consistent with the line and length, they can easily win against Nepal, which does not have a good middle and lower order. The top-order batters need to perform better because they all collapsed in the last match.
Important players for the United States team in the match against Nepal
1- Steven Taylor is one of the main all-rounders of the USA team and had a decent record in the WC Qualifiers league stage 2, in which he scored 317 runs in 8 matches with an average of 39.62. He is quite good as an associate national cricketer, taking 33 wickets in 40 matches. He bowled quite well in the last match and took 3 wickets, but he needs to step up his batting game and give the same bowling performance.
2- Saurabh Netravalkar is one of the most experienced bowlers on the USA side, playing 44 ODI matches and taking 70 wickets. He took three important wickets in the last match against the West Indies with his amazing pace bowling and swinging delivery.
3- Gajanand Singh played an amazing knock in the last match by scoring 101, and he needs to perform the same in the next match. He scored 379 runs in his last 10 matches; the 200 runs came in his last two matches.
