Asian side Nepal (NEP) will continue their ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 campaign by taking on South Africa (SA). Both sides will lock horns at the Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown, St. Vincent, in the 31st game of the tournament on Saturday, June 15. Nepal have played two games in the tournament so far, where they registered one win, and the second game was abandoned without a ball being bowled. 

On the other hand, South Africa is currently unbeaten in the ongoing marquee event. Having played three matches, the Proteas have won every game that they have played so far. As the clash against Nepal approaches, South Africa will hope to put in a similar performance and keep up their form.

Match Details

Pitch Report and Conditions

The pitch at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown is quite slow and provides some assistance to the spinners. The surface is known for having low-scoring contests, and the clash between Nepal and South Africa could be a low-scoring thriller as well. Opting to bowl first after winning the toss could be a viable option. 

Head-to-Head Record

This will be the first time Nepal will face South Africa in international cricket. Therefore, their head-to-head scoreline currently stands at 0-0.
