By TRN Online, Kathmandu, Feb 12: In the second match of the ICC T20 World Cup, Nepal has opted to bat first against Italy. After winning the toss, Italy chose to field, sending Nepal in to bat.

Nepal is under pressure to secure a win today after suffering a narrow four-run defeat against Test-playing side England in their opening match.

 Having come close to victory in that game, Nepal is now competing against Italy in their second group match on Thursday.
