Nepal will be battling out the Philippines in the 6^th match of Group A ICC World T20 Qualifier on Friday. The NEP vs PHI game will be played at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground, Al Amerat. Nepal has won their first game of the tournament against the host nation Oman courtesy of great bowling performance from all their bowlers. They successfully defended an under-par low target of 118 against the tournament favorites as they bowled them out for just 78 runs winning the game by 39 runs. Nepal will like to capitalize on the start they have got and make it 2 in 2 for themself.

On the other hand, the Philippines team did not have a great start to their campaign as they faced a heavy defeat against Canada by 118 runs while chasing down a target of 217 runs in 20 overs. Now sitting at the bottom of the points table,  they would like to turn the tables around and will be eyeing their first win of the tournament tomorrow. They need contributions both from their batting unit as well as the bowling unit and also need to save runs in the outfield if they want to give themselves a chance
