The United Arab Emirates national cricket team toured Nepal in November 2022 to play three One Day International (ODI) matches.[1][2] All the three matches were played in Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground.[3] The series provided Nepal with preparation for a tri-series in Namibia in December 2022, part of Cricket World Cup League 2.[4]

The hosts were outplayed in the first ODI, falling to a defeat by 84 runs.[5] Nepal levelled the series by winning the second ODI by three wickets, with a 62-run stand between Aarif Sheikh and Gulsan Jha for the seventh wicket helping them recover from a top order collapse.[6] Nepal won the third ODI by 6 wickets, Aasif Sheikh scoring 88 not out in the successful chase, to seal their first victory in a home bilateral ODI series.[7]
