United Arab Emirates and Nepal will meet in a do-or-die game on Wednesday in Dubai as match No. 91 of the ICC Cricket World Cup League Two 2023-27 gets underway at 11 AM IST. With both sides sitting near the bottom of the table and running out of time to revive their World Cup hopes, this contest carries more pressure than usual. UAE are coming off a brutal 243-run loss to the USA, while Nepal have also struggled to find momentum this season. One poor day here could virtually shut the qualification door.

UAE vs NEP Match Prediction: Who starts as favourite?
UAE are on shaky ground after being bowled out for just 49 in their last match. Their batting has repeatedly collapsed under pressure, while Nepal, despite their own issues, look like a more balanced side with stronger spin options. UAE did beat Nepal the last time they met, which offers a flicker of belief, but Nepal begin as favourites to grab crucial points today.
