Covers 15 matches between Scotland and Nepal from Jul 2022 to May 2026 (Tests, ODIs and T20Is with ball-by-ball records).
Nepal hold a slim lead in the Scotland vs Nepal head to head: 8 wins to 6 in 15 games played between Jul 2022 and May 2026. One ODI, at Dallas in Nov 2024, had no result.
Few fixtures between Associate sides have been this tight. The ODI count is 6 to 5 for Nepal and the T20I count 2 to 1, and several games have been settled by a handful of runs or a single wicket. Most recently Nepal chased down their target at Kirtipur on 18 May 2026 with 6 wickets in hand.
Scotland vs Nepal Head to Head: A Rivalry of Narrow Margins
Look down the ODI results and the closeness jumps out. Nepal won by 1 wicket at Dundee on 2 Jun 2025, and six days later Scotland won the return by 2 runs. Scotland also won by 2 runs on DLS at Kirtipur on 12 May 2026. Nepal’s wins at Kirtipur in Feb 2023 came by 3 wickets and 2 wickets.
The early meetings were less even. Scotland won by 8 wickets at Glasgow in Jul 2022 and repeated the margin at Windhoek in Dec 2022, dismissing Nepal for 119. Since then the record has swung towards Nepal.
In T20Is, all 3 games have come since Jun 2025. Nepal won by 2 wickets at Titwood, Scotland hit back by 34 runs there three days later, and Nepal then beat them in Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on 17 Feb 2026, by 7 wickets.

Rohit Paudel (Nepal) heads the ODI run chart on 356, averaging 44.50. Michael Leask (Scotland) follows with 291, scored at 115.94 per 100 balls, and his 107* from 85 deliveries at Kirtipur in Feb 2023 is the best ODI score here. Sandeep Lamichhane (Nepal) has taken 21 ODI wickets at 18.76, two ahead of MRJ Watt (Scotland).
In T20Is, George Munsey (Scotland) has 113 runs, including 78 off 39 balls at Glasgow, and Lamichhane’s 4/11 there is the best T20I return. DS Airee (Nepal) has the most match awards with 2.
