Following a decisive victory over the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the opening match of the Dabur Honey Sponsored Nepal T20I Triangular Series, Nepal is gearing up to face their longtime rival, Hong Kong, on 19th October.

This encounter will mark the first T20 International clash between Nepal and Hong Kong in almost three years. In their previous face-off in 2020, Nepal had been bowled out for 111 while chasing a target of 155 runs. Since that game, the trajectories of the two teams have diverged significantly.

The Nepal vs. Hong Kong match is scheduled at Mulpani Cricket Ground, Mulpani, with a kickoff time of 11 am Nepali time.
