The 50-overs match is scheduled to get underway at 9 a.m. India Standard Time at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh, on Monday, February 1.

India and Nepal are among the five Asian sides that dominate the U19 Cricket World Cup quarterfinal round. Pakistan and Sri Lanka have also qualified, an host Bangladesh also punched its ticket to the Super League quarterfinal with a Sunday victory over Scotland, posting a comfortable 114 run victory.

Bangladesh concludes Group A play on Tuesday, squaring off against perhaps the most surprising team of the tournament, Namibia. The upstart African side nailed down its own place in the Super League quarterfinals with a shocking two-wicket win over South Africa on Sunday — dumping the defending U19 World Cup Champion Junior Proteas out of contention for the quarterfinals.

“As a country we have never had a side qualify for the quarter-finals on any world stage in any sport,” an ecstatic Namibia Manager Andre Schmidlin said. “For us as a country, this is massive. A small nation like us should not beat the world champions.”

The India vs. Nepal match also comes with some political baggage, in the midst of a five-month blockade of important trade routes along the India-Nepal border due to anti-government protests in Nepal by a group with close ties to India. The crisis has led to shortages of food and fuel and other essential good in Nepal — as well as a shortage of cricket balls and equipment needed by the national U19 team for practice.

But the Nepal U19 team was aided by India itself, when the sport’s governing body in India granted Nepal use of practice facilities in Delhi and other locations inside India.
