Nepal
West Indies
The 9th Match of the ICC World Cup Qualifiers will be West Indies vs Nepal at Harare Sports Club, Zimbabwe on Thursday. Both teams are coming after a win to play the 9th fixture of the tournament and they both will be motivated to continue the tournament with a positive outcome.
West Indies started the tournament with a win against the United States of America. It was a comfortable win for the team but the batters will have to push themselves hard to score a win against Nepal.
Nepal also defeated the United States of America in their previous game. All credit goes to the bowling department who were in control of the game from the first ball. The cricket betting sites have World Cup qualifier odds with them.
