Considering the current form, experience, and head-to-head record, Nepal holds a significant edge over Qatar. Nepal’s balanced side — featuring quality batters like Aasif Sheikh and Kushal Malla, along with match-winning all-rounders like Dipendra Singh Airee and Sandeep Lamichhane — makes them strong favorites.
Qatar will need a remarkable all-round performance to upset Nepal, but given their inconsistency so far, it seems unlikely.
