Why Karan KC is Not Playing Today in SCO vs NEP T20 World Cup Match?
Nepal are going ahead in their last encounter without the likes of all-rounder Karan KC, as he has been dropped to try a different playing combination and look for their first win of the tournament. Sundeep Jora has been brought in as Karan KC replacement for this clash.
Nepal captain Rohit Paudel said at the toss, "We'll bowl first. Finally, we got the toss win. I think the wicket for the first four, five overs is going to be difficult, but whoever bats good in the first four, five overs then can capitalise at the later part of the inning. But the first five overs have been a difficult task.
So as a bowling unit, we need to make most of that five overs. If you see collectively in this tournament, the first game we batted really well. After that, I think in both the games, we didn't back our expectations. So we would love to bat well and have some good partnerships in the middle. We have one change - Jora comes in place of Karan KC."
Nepal has been brilliant in brief phases of the game, and they will be looking to register a win in their last fixture. The inconsistency in the batting lineup has been a key concern for the side, and they will look to overcome that by relying on Dipendra Singh Airee and their skipper Rohit Paudel.
