Zimbabwe, which did not qualify for the 2019 World Cup, is hoping to secure a spot in this year’s showpiece event, which will be held in India. Nepal has thoroughly enjoyed their journey in the 50-over format this year. They have only been defeated once in their last 16 One-Day Internationals. Considering the team combination, Zimbabwe is expected to win this match.
