Despite being the hosts of the 2014 World Twenty20 Bangladesh are still to make the main draw and must first overcome Nepal in Group A.
After a dip in form in 2014 the Bangladeshis finally seem to be improving at just the right time with three successive victories.
Another win against the visitors in this clash will help smooth their passage to the main draw and stop the halt in their current rise to compete with the major nations in world cricket.
For the Nepalese, this match signals 18 years of progress in the sport and this is the first time they will play a Test playing nation in a competitive game.
The home side secured an impressive victory over Hong Kong on Sunday in which Gyanendra Malla and captain Paras Khadka were the standout performers and Shakib Al Hasan will also pose a danger.
For the away team Subash Khakurel and Sagar Pun will be tasked with keeping that batting lineup quiet, whilst the animated Shakti Gauchan probably holds the greatest danger with the ball.
