One required of One, take your picks!!! 19.6 Haseeb Amjad to Vesawkar, 1 run, and that's the winning runs for Nepal by Vesawkar. With this win Nepal books a semi-final berth and most importantly qualifies for the World Cup T20 to be played next year. Absolute cracker of a match and can't ask for more!
End of over 20 (13 runs), Nepal 144/5.

How many of you remember this happiest moment ever?

In the last edition of T20 Qualifiers held at Dubai, Nepal defeated Hong Kong to book their ticket to ICC T-20 WC held in Bangladesh on March 2014. These two old rivals are again going to fight each other in the group round of ICC T20Q 2015 on Wednesday. The match is equally important for both the teams as they are struggling to get their position in Top Four. Nepal lost its match to Irish team while Hong Kong also lost its match to Jersy in the ongoing tournament.

So, both the teams will try to take out positive result in the coming battle to make their chance stronger to be in the first four. The team which loses the battle should may win all the remaining games to make their spot to the Quarter Final. So, both the teams are at "Do or Die" mood of their journey. Its therefore an important match for both the continental teams. The two teams are equally favoured to win the match as both of them are seen in their bad form. The team who can play calmly may win the match.  

These two teams have faced each other for many times and are well known opponent in the cricketing history. Remember that, Hong Kong has not been able to defeat Nepal in the T20 Qualifiers.
