The Nepal cricket team toured Kenya in August and September 2022 to play five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches and three 50-over matches.[1][2] This was the first series in charge for Nepal's new head coach Manoj Prabhakar, after Pubudu Dassanayake resigned in July 2022.[3][4] This series was Nepal cricket team's first visit to Kenya.[5] This was also the first international cricket at the Gymkhana Club Ground for 10 years.[6]
Nepal won the opening fixture of the T20I series by five wickets,[7][8] before the hosts levelled the series with an 18-run victory in the second match.[9] Nepal regained the series lead with a narrow win, former captain Gyanendra Malla top-scoring with 46 in a successful run chase.[10] Kenya again levelled the series, defending a score of just 101 to win the fourth match by 7 runs,[11] despite Nepal's captain Sandeep Lamichhane earlier taking his first five-wicket haul in T20Is.[12] Nepal won the final game by 31 runs to claim a 3–2 series victory.[13][14] Sandeep Lamichhane was named player of the series after taking 12 wickets.[15] This tournament marked the return of international cricket to Kenya after more than a decade. Mumbai based firm sports and media works (SMW) were the commercial partners & producers of the event.[16]
