The Nepali national cricket team spared no effort in preparing for the upcoming match against South Africa, conducting intensive practice sessions at the Arnos Vale Stadium in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on Thursday.

Nepal will face the cricketing giant in their third match of the T20 World Cup on Saturday morning (Nepali time). South Africa, the first team in the tournament to progress to the Super Eight stage, are unbeaten in all three group matches.

Despite a challenging start to their World Cup campaign, the Nepali team remains undeterred, ready to make a comeback from their loss to the Netherlands. Their match against Sri Lanka was abandoned due to rain.

Leg spinner Sandeep Lamichhane has joined the squad in the Caribbean country.
