Canada vs Nepal Timeline: Three Short Chapters
The first meeting in the data was a T20I at Al Amarat, Oman on 21 Feb 2022. Canada managed only 80, all out inside 15 overs, and Nepal reached their target at 81/2, an 8-wicket win. S Lamichhane (Nepal) took 3/12.
The ODI story began at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur, in Feb 2024. Nepal won three in a row there, first by 7 runs, then by 4 wickets while chasing 285/9, and finally by 9 wickets with two unbeaten hundreds.
Canada turned it around at the Maple Leaf North-West Ground in King City. They won two ODIs in Sep 2024, the first by 103 runs after bowling Nepal out for 150, and then both T20Is later that month and into Oct 2024. That leaves Canada on a run of 2 straight wins in each format.
