Nepal is taking on Canada in the first match of the T20I tri-series in Canada. Following a disappointing League 2 series, team Nepal will look to fine their tune in the shorter format of the game. 

The first T20I match between Nepal and Canada will start from 9:45 pm Nepali time. Nepal failed to win a single match during the League 2 series. 

However, Nepal share a point each in the last match of the series as the match against Oman was abandoned due to rain. Canada won all their four matches in the series and Oman won one against Nepal. 

Nepal are at the seventh in the table with just 3 points from 8 matches.  Canada leads the table with 16 points from 12 matches with 8 wins.
