The Asia Cup is basically held in the Asian continent with all the cricket playing countries.Among them are India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka.However, Nepal is one of the most popular cricket-loving countries in Asia.They are working very hard to succeed in cricket I think Asia Cup is a very important tournament for them if they do well in this tournament then surely their cricket will go far.
This time, it is a very good opportunity for Nepal. Despite the ICC and the BCCI trying their best to put obstacles in their path, they have managed to qualify for the Asia Cup as well as for the ODI World Cup qualifier. Finishing at top-2 for the ODI World Cup qualifier is going to be extremely difficult, but the experience they gain while playing against teams such as West Indies and Zimbabwe would be very useful when they face India and Pakistan during the group phase of the Asia Cup.
Till now Nepal has played a total of 51 ODIs and 57 T20Is. However, none of these 51 ODIs were played against full member nations. Their matches against West Indies and Zimbabwe during the ODI World Cup Qualifier would be the first against full-members. They have played a total of 7 T20Is against full-members (3 vs Ireland, 2 vs Zimbabwe and one each against Afghanistan and Bangladesh). Out of these 7 matches, they managed to win just one (vs Afghanistan).
