A serious error has been made by the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) before the start of the first T20 between Nepal and UAE at the TU Cricket Ground. A formal program was held to play the national anthems of both countries before the start of the game. Initially, the national anthem of Nepal was played. Then, during the turn of the visiting team UAE, other songs were played twice. After the Nepali national anthem was played at the beginning, the UAE players protested. After the national anthem was not played in the second attempt, the UAE players left the field and returned to the pavilion. Before the start of a sports competition, there is a formal program to play the national anthems of the participating countries. Playing the wrong song in such a program is considered a big mistake.

Nepal will bat first in the first Twenty20 International against the UAE. Nepal captain Dipendra Singh Airi won the toss and elected to field against the UAE at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Stadium in Kirtipur on Sunday.
