Nepal head into Tuesday\u2019s contest with mixed form in the ongoing tri-series at home. While they have registered two wins over the UAE, their campaign has been dented by an earlier underwhelming performance against Oman, leaving them eager to respond strongly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Acknowledging the team\u2019s fluctuating displays, Airee underlined the importance of building on recent progress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe couldn\u2019t play well in the first two matches (of the tri-series). Now the partnerships are getting better. If we can play by taking that positively, we can achieve a good result against Oman,\u201d he was quoted by the ICC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The all-rounder also reflected on his own performances amid the team\u2019s struggles with consistency in batting. \u201cOther players are not scoring runs. Perhaps because I am a bit more focused (on my own performance), I am doing well. Earlier, I wasn\u2019t scoring runs either,\u201d he noted, pointing to a shift in his mindset.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nepal currently find themselves placed seventh in the League 2 standings, with their hopes of direct qualification for the Cricket World Cup Qualifier hinging on a top-four finish by the end of the cycle. With only seven wins so far, every remaining fixture carries added significance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Captain Rohit Paudel echoed the sentiment, backing his side to respond under pressure. \u201cIt is our nature to play under pressure. Therefore, we are hopeful that we will secure a win,\u201d he said, expressing belief in the team\u2019s ability to deliver in crunch situations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
