Two underdog teams. One rivalry that keeps cricket fans on the edge of their seats. The Scotland National Cricket Team Vs Nepal National Cricket Team Timeline is not your average associate cricket story. It is a tale of missed heartbeats, stunning collapses, late-night heroics, and some of the most jaw-dropping finishes in non-Test cricket history. And it keeps getting better.
If you follow associate cricket even casually, you already know that neither Scotland nor Nepal gets the big-match spotlight very often. But every time these two sides lock horns, they produce something that even the so-called “big teams” would be proud of. Let’s walk through the complete Scotland National Cricket Team Vs Nepal National Cricket Team Timeline match by match, year by year, drama by drama.

A Quick Snapshot: Who Are These Teams?
Before we get into the heat, let’s do a quick recap.
Scotland has been a part of ICC’s associate cricket ecosystem for decades. Based in Edinburgh, they are regular contenders in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2. Their players many of whom also play county cricket bring genuine professional quality to the side. Richie Berrington, Michael Leask, George Munsey, and Mark Watt are names that any associate cricket fan would recognize immediately.
Nepal, on the other hand, is the true romantic story of modern cricket. A Himalayan nation that was once barely on the cricket map, Nepal is now one of the most passionate cricketing countries in Asia. They earned T20I status in 2014 and ODI status in 2018. Stars like Sandeep Lamichhane, Dipendra Singh Airee, Kushal Bhurtel, Rohit Paudel, and Sompal Kami have made Nepal a genuinely dangerous associate side.
When these two teams meet? Pure entertainment. The Scotland National Cricket Team Vs Nepal National Cricket Team Timeline is proof of that.

Scotland National Cricket Team Vs Nepal National Cricket Team Timeline: Year by Year
2014 — ICC World Twenty20: The Beginning of the Story
The Scotland National Cricket Team Vs Nepal National Cricket Team Timeline starts its global chapter in 2014. Nepal made their historic debut at the ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh. Sompal Kami — who would become central to Nepal vs Scotland battles — was just beginning his international journey.

2023 — CWC League 2 in Kirtipur: Nepal Roars Back at Home
Scotland toured Nepal in February 2023 for two more League 2 ODIs. Nepal at home was a totally different proposition.
Match 6 — 123rd ODI | February 17, 2023 | TU Cricket Ground, Kirtipur
Scotland batted first and posted a massive 274/9 in 50 overs. Michael Leask smashed an unbeaten 107 off just 85 balls — 9 sixes and 3 fours — his maiden ODI century. Sandeep Lamichhane returned 3/27 for Nepal.
Nepal’s chase was tense. They slipped to precarious positions multiple times. But Kushal Malla (81 off 67) and Dipendra Singh Airee (85* off 116 balls) held firm.

Match 10 — 73rd ODI (2023–27 Cycle) | June 2, 2025 | Forthill, Dundee
Scotland batted first and posted 296/7 in 50 overs. Charlie Tear scored 80 off 72 balls. Finlay McCreath added 55 off 67. Karan KC and Sompal Kami took 2 wickets each.
Then came Nepal’s chase — a rollercoaster from start to finish. Nepal’s middle order crumbled. With 9 wickets down, Karan KC came in at No. 9 and smashed an unbeaten 65 off 41 balls. A wide off the penultimate ball sealed a miraculous 1-wicket win with one ball remaining.
The moment the stumps were broken, Scotland players celebrated — only to see the umpire signal a wide. Nepal’s players erupted. Karan was hoisted onto shoulders. It was Nepal’s highest successful ODI chase in history. The match aggregate of 593 runs was also the then-highest between these two sides.

Scotland came back six days later and repaid Nepal in kind — in the most dramatic fashion possible.
Batting first, Scotland posted 323/6 in 50 overs. Richie Berrington was magnificent — 102 off 114 balls. Michael Leask then smashed 96* off just 62 balls. Their 6th-wicket stand of 125 was Scotland’s ODI record for that wicket.
Nepal chased. Bhim Sharki anchored with 73 off 85. Then Sompal Kami — batting at No. 9 — produced the innings of his life: 67 off 44 balls, forming a 105-run 7th-wicket stand with Airee. Nepal needed 6 off the last over. Then 3 off the last ball. They fell 2 runs short.
Scotland won by 2 runs. Nepal’s 321 was their highest-ever ODI team total at the time. The match aggregate of 644 runs set a new record between these sides.

2026 — ICC Men’s T20 World Cup: Nepal’s Emotional Victory in Mumbai
The most recent chapter in the Scotland National Cricket Team Vs Nepal National Cricket Team Timeline was written at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, on February 17, 2026 — during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
Both teams had been eliminated from Super 8 contention before this match. Nothing was riding on it except national pride. But what a match it turned out to be.
Scotland batted first. Openers George Munsey (27 off 29) and Michael Jones (71 off 45) gave them an 80-run opening stand. Scotland were cruising toward a big total. But Nepal’s bowling — Sompal Kami (3/25 in 4 overs) and Nandan Yadav (2/34 in 4 overs) — pulled things back sharply. Scotland finished on 170/7.
Nepal’s chase began confidently. Kushal Bhurtel (43 off 35) and Aasif Sheikh (33 off 27) put on 74 for the first wicket — Nepal’s highest opening partnership in T20 World Cup history. But Scotland hit back through Michael Leask (3/30 in 4 overs), reducing Nepal to 98/3.
Then came Dipendra Singh Airee. He smashed an unbeaten 50 off just 23 balls — four fours, three sixes — alongside Gulshan Jha (24* off 17 balls). Nepal crossed the line with 4 balls to spare, winning by 7 wickets.
It was Nepal’s first T20 World Cup win in 12 years — and their first in the main tournament stage. Sompal Kami became Nepal’s all-time T20 World Cup wicket-taker with 10 scalps. Captain Rohit Paudel called it “one of the most important wins of our cricketing history.”
| Team | Score | Overs |
|---|---|---|
| Scotland | 170/7 | 20 |
| Nepal | 171/3 | 19.2 |
| Result | Nepal won by 7 wickets (4 balls remaining) |

Expert Opinion 💬 “The Scotland-Nepal rivalry represents exactly what associate cricket should be about. These teams play on smaller stages, but the drama they produce rivals anything you’ll see in a Test match. The June 2025 Dundee double-header was some of the finest limited-overs cricket I’ve seen outside the top eight nations. If the ICC wants to grow the game, they should be broadcasting Scotland vs Nepal on every platform possible.”
— Based on match analysis from ESPNcricinfo reports, February–June 2025
A Note on the “Cardiac Kids” Nickname
Nepal have earned the nickname “Cardiac Kids” — and after watching the Scotland National Cricket Team Vs Nepal National Cricket Team Timeline, you understand exactly why. Almost every match goes to the last over, the last wicket, or the last ball. The June 2025 ODI where Nepal won by 1 wicket off the final ball — via a wide — is the single best example. Even the method of victory was theatrical.
