Nepal on the other hand, got to the finals thanks to the superb defence
in the group stage and then a superb attack in the semi-final. Nawayug
Shrestha who scored a hat-trick in the semi-final
will be the key player for Nepal. Bimal Gharti Magar will also be a
player to watch out for Nepal in the final.For Nepal Nawayug Shrestha
and Bikesh Kuthu will be the two key players in the match. Nawayug scored a hat-trick in the semi-final against Maldives
while Bikesh has been excellent in his goalkeeping position. As always, Bimal Gharti Magar and Rabin Shrestha will also be crucial for Nepal.
The qualification of both Nepal and Bahrain in the final is considered unexpected by most of the experts. Bahrain came into the tournament with a young side and played brilliantly in the semi-final against Bangladesh.
