ACC Trophy Elite: Nepal v UAE (Semi-final)

The d-day has come for Nepal.  UAE has qualified for almost every Asia Cup as far as we can remember. Nepal must give everything to overcome UAE, probably the best non test playing nation in Asia.
Nepal have won 8 out of their last 10 outing ( 1 loss and 1 no results) and have been in their prime but the national team have chokced at crucial times. No any Nepali cricket lover would ever forgot the loss at Jersey from the hands from eventual winner Afghanistan. The wound was deeper than just the tournament loss as it erased the faint hope of qualifying for the World Cup 2011.
Nepal have played many match against the UAE, with the most result in favour of UAE. However, Nepali cricket fans would not ever forget the famous win at TU ground.  A loss here at Malaysia on friday means no any ODIs in near future for Nepal.
