As of October 8, 2025, Nepal and Kuwait are set to clash in a high-stakes match for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup East Asia Pacific Qualifier.

Nepal's historic victory over the West Indies has undoubtedly boosted their confidence and established them as a force to be reckoned with in the cricketing world. The associate nation's triumph has shattered the long-held notion that only Test-playing sides can defeat established cricket powerhouses in a bilateral series.
