Nepal's way to World Cup looks difficult.

Nepal currently sits sixth on the points table playing 8 matches. Nepal has tasted 3 wins and 5 losses so far. Kenya playing only 6 matches also have 6 points but they have superior Net run rate than Nepal. The top four sides of the Championship will get a chance to feature in ICC World Cup Qualifiers in 2018 to be held in England.

With the current scenario, it looks difficult for Nepal to finish within top four. Nepal have 6 games remaining in the tournament. Nepal will play two matches each against Hong Kong, Kenya and UAE. UAE sits bottom of the table currently but Hong Kong and Kenya are above Nepal on the points table.

Nepal defeated Namibia on both of its matches. Nepal won one and lost one against Netherlands. PNG and Scotland both beat Nepal on both of their matches. To qualify for the world cup qualifiers, Nepal must not only win all of their remaining matches but also must depend on the results of other teams.
