Here is everything you need to know about the tri-series at Clydesdale Cricket Club.
Who's in the Scotland squad?
Essex seamer Mackenzie Jones could make his T20 international debut having made his ODI bow in Dundee, while Chris Greaves and Chris McBride are added to the squad having missed out on the recent ODIs.
County players, such as Lancashire's Michael Jones, Sussex's Brad Currie and Somerset's Andrew Umeed, are not included.
Cricket Scotland said: "Several players not included in the squads were considered for selection but were not available due to work, personal circumstances or county commitments."

Scotland squad: Richie Berrington (capt), Matthew Cross, Jasper Davidson, Chris Greaves, Jack Jarvis, Mackenzie Jones, Michael Leask, Charlie Cassell, Chris McBride, Finlay McCreath, Brandon McMullen, George Munsey, Liam Naylor, Safyaan Sharif, Mark Watt.
What are these matches for?
The main purpose of this series is to provide much-needed practice before Scotland travel to the Netherlands for the T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier in July.
Two teams will qualify from the five-team tournament, which also features Italy, Guernsey and Jersey.
The Scots last played official matches in this format when Australia visited last summer, having impressed at the T20 World Cup earlier in 2024.
How good are Nepal & Netherlands?
Scotland are the best side of the three, based solely on the ICC Men's T20 world rankings which have Scotland 13th, the Dutch 14th and Nepal 18th.

The truth is somewhat harder to gauge, given the lack of matches played by associate members in this format.
In the recent Cricket World Cup League 2 series played between the three teams, the matches were tightly contested in the main, showcasing the magnificent cricket associate members have to offer.
Nepal and Scotland played out two thrilling matches that went down to the final over in Dundee, winning one each, while the Netherlands bounced back from three straight defeats to chase down Scotland's 369 in the final match of the series.
Players to look out for
George Munsey and Brandon McMullen are Scotland's two best top-order batters and both have international hundreds in 2025.

Left-handed opener Munsey smashed 191 off 150 balls against the Netherlands on Thursday - Scotland's record score in ODIs - while Safyaan Sharif became his country's all-time leading wicket taker in the same match.
Captain Richie Berrington continues to defy his age with the bat and will be playing on his home ground at Clydesdale.
With the ball, 20-year-old Jones could be handed more opportunities given the strugglers of other Scotland seamers recently and Currie's absence.
He impressed in his first Scotland appearance, taking 3-55 in the two-run win over Nepal.
Liam Naylor and Chris McBride have both been standout performers in Scottish club cricket for RH Corstorphine and Carlton, respectively, and will want to force their way into the side before next month's qualifier.

'Hard work ahead' - Pressley bemoans Dundee loss
Dundee should be "under no illusions how much work's required", said new head coach Steven Pressley following the home Premier Sports Cup loss to Airdrieonians. The Premiership side marked Pressley's first competitive match in charge with defeat, an improved second half unable to cancel out Chris Mochrie's solitary goal. Advertisement Former Falkirk and Coventry City boss Pressley replaced Tony Docherty in the Dens Park dugout this summer, a somewhat surprise appointment after an equally eye-opening sacking. Docherty had staved off relegation in his second season in charge after a top-six finish in his maiden campaign. "Obviously the result is far from the result we wanted," Pressley told BBC Scotland. "It very much highlighted that we have so much hard work ahead of us. You could see in both our attacking and defending elements that we weren't in sync on many occasions. "We haven't had long enough, I could see that in our performance. We were disjointed at times. Every day on the training ground will help us put some of these things in place. Advertisement "I hope we're under no illusions just to how much work that's required. I know that." Dundee visit Alloa Athletic in their next Group C game on Saturday before a trip to Bonnyrigg Rose (22 July) before Montrose visit Dens Park (26 July). "Today was the first time the real ball came out and there were some real teething problems in our display," Pressley added. "I'm confident with this group of players and some additions that we can put that right. "I'm really excited about what we have here but it's going to take time."

What did we learn from McInnes' first Hearts game?
"I enjoyed it, but I want to enjoy it a wee bit more." Derek McInnes allowed himself a wee smile at the end of his victorious first game as Hearts head coach. The scoreboard read a comfortable 4-1 win in the Premier Sports Cup, but scoreboards don't always tell the full story. Advertisement For much of the stuffy second half Hearts endured against Dunfermline Athletic, McInnes was seated in the dugout. He must've thought all his dreams had come true when James Wilson fired Hearts in front with three minutes on the clock, much to the delight of a boisterous home crowd, but it was not a perfect sign of things to come. Despite a rapid start, Hearts soon played safe and lacked the killer instinct to put the game to bed before the break. Instead, they went into it level. A draw after 90 minutes appeared increasingly likely until Lawrence Shankland - who McInnes played a pivotal role in keeping at Tynecastle - tucked away two identical penalties in under three minutes. Advertisement With just over ten minutes to go, the points were in the bag but substitute Stephen Kingsley's fantastic finish in stoppage time ensured a sigh of relief. His opposite number, Neil Lennon, said it was "a great game", but what did we learn from McInnes first outing in the maroon dugout? Strong start shows desired style For the first 10 minutes, Hearts were tremendous. They came flying out the traps and could have scored within the opening minute, had Shankland found the net rather than Pars goalkeeper Deniz Mehmet's palms. Their play was sharp and speedy, getting the ball into the final third as soon as possible. McInnes was heard hollering at his defenders to get the ball to Shankland and Wilson even quicker. Advertisement "I thought we started the game like a train and missed two or three really good chances and had Dunfermline where we wanted them," McInnes said. "We got the early goal, which was the perfect start and what I asked for. I thought the energy and the intelligence of the team was really strong in that part." Although it didn't last nearly as long as McInnes would have wanted, the early signs of his system were on show. As confidence grows and bodies come in, there's every chance it'll be effective. Incoming wingers will be welcomed Among those new bodies are likely to be wingers Sabah Kerjota and Pierre Landry Kabore who have long been reported to be Hearts players this term. Advertisement McInnes said pre-match the club are "quite far down the line" in signing two wingers and Saturday's run out suggested why. One of only two starting debutants, Claudio Braga on the left was key to the quick start, but the Pars soon sussed out the Portuguese. It was quite clear he wasn't an out-and-out winger. There were glimpses of his guile and his gleaming smile at full-time was as wide as Gorgie Road, but he will surely be searching for a shot as a striker soon. Alan Forrest's work-rate down the right couldn't be questioned, but it didn't click for the 28-year-old. Advertisement McInnes did note pre-match he prefers Forrest on the left, but he's been "really effective" on the right, too. With more players coming in to a 29-man squad, there is certain to be a few heading out the exit door at Tynecastle, too. Good things come to those who wait He won't publicly take much praise for it, but McInnes was instrumental in ensuring Scotland striker Shankland stayed with Hearts and signed a new deal. He talked up his captain, but never applied a hard deadline for a decision on a new contract. His patience and persistence paid off, and Hearts are already reaping the rewards. Advertisement Shankland didn't look like a guy who'd spent a chunk of pre-season weighing up his options - while also holidaying and getting married. The applause he received pre-match as he led his team out was hearty, while he earned an endearing reception on his departure once he'd dispatched two penalties in a smart performance. It was his arcing shot off a post which also teed up Wilson for the opener. McInnes made a point post-match that in football, particularly at this stage of the season, games are "won by mistakes", rather than tactics or individual moments. But someone still needs to capitalise on those mistakes. Step forward, Shankland. Advertisement "When the game needs calmness and that confidence to take a penalty, Lawrence is there," the head coach added. "When the game's in the balance, you're never going to be in a rush to take somebody like Lawrence off."
