NEP vs QAT Live Score, 5th Match - ICC Men’s T20 World Cup East Asia Pacific Qualifier, 2025 — Nepal face Qatar at Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 1) on 13 October 2025, 08:30 PM IST, a venue that often rewards smart pacing and calm chases under lights. Nepal arrive buoyed by a strong 2025 T20 run and recent statement wins that have raised their ceiling and confidence in pressure games. Qatar, for their part, bring a settled core with hitters who prefer using the straight fence and a cohort of change-up specialists designed for the middle overs.

Conditions in Muscat typically produce competitive first-innings totals in the mid-140s to 160s, with a slight historical lean toward teams chasing—dew can reduce grip for slower balls and sharpen the outfield late. Expect Nepal to back a tempo-building blueprint: accumulate in the powerplay without over-risking, then press hard between overs 10–16 before unleashing finishers. Qatar’s path lies in early breakthroughs, squeezing singles with deep square riders, and keeping Nepal’s boundary rate down in the middle overs. With points at a premium in the Qualifier, every fielding half-chance and two-into-three run will matter. Track every twist with NEP vs QAT Live Score as this Super Six clash unfolds.

Pace vs Spin on Venue

(Last 10 match)

Ministry Turf 1 has been balanced-to-batting-friendly in recent T20s: true bounce up front, good value for square hits, and enough purchase for spinners once the ball softens. Venue aggregates indicate first-innings averages around 149–155, with more wins for sides batting second—classic dew territory that can blunt grip and make cutters harder to land. Pacers who hit hard length early find assistance, while spinners prosper when they attack the stumps and vary pace into the surface. Par sits near 150–160; anything 165+ forces the chasing side to take risks earlier than ideal.

Conclusion

Tactically, it leans win the toss, bowl first: read the surface, watch the dew, and chase with clarity. Nepal’s edge is multi-phase hitting allied to savvy middle-overs control; if they protect wickets to the 15th, a late surge can stretch beyond par. Qatar’s route is all about seizing the first 36 balls—new-ball strikes, saving your best matchup overs for Nepal’s engine room, and keeping boundary clusters to single digits across overs 7–15. If Nepal get early momentum, Qatar must counter with ground-fielding intensity and disciplined death-over execution. Expect a tight finish decided by middle-overs efficiency and composure at the back end.
