Nepal reached ODI status in March 2018 as one of five sides promoted in the CWC League 2 pathway. The archive covers every match since.

Origins

Nepal earned ODI status in March 2018 as one of five sides promoted through the ICC pathway, alongside Netherlands, Oman, Papua New Guinea and UAE.

The CWC League 2 era

The 2018-2023 CWC League 2 cycle was Nepal’s window to compete at the ICC level. Nepal’s largest ODI win by runs came at Kirtipur in March 2023, 177 runs against UAE; at the World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe that June, West Indies beat them by 101 runs; the 2024 series with Netherlands showed the top-order depth had shifted a stage up.

Home and away

Nepal have played 34 ODIs at home and 58 away. Home: 24 wins to 10 losses (Kirtipur’s TU Cricket Ground is one of the busiest home venues in associate cricket).

Rivalries

UAE (19 ODIs, 11 wins to 8), Netherlands (9, 4 wins to 5) and Namibia (10, 2 wins to 7) sit at the top of the associate-tier fixtures.

Recent form

Nepal’s 2020s: 86 ODIs, 41 won, 42 lost. Progressed through the CWC League 2 to WC Q group stage; the modern side has kept a settled top order.

What CricArcade shows

The Chase lets you draft a Nepal ODI XI from the modern squad and try to chase 380 or set one. The engine reads real careers so Lamichhane bowls the length he actually bowls.
