The 2022 United Arab Emirates Tri-Nation Series was the 10th round of the 2019–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 cricket tournament that took place in the United Arab Emirates in March 2022.[1] Originally scheduled to take place in February 2023, it was moved back to March 2022 due to fixtures impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic being rearranged.[2][3]

It was a tri-nation series between Nepal, Papua New Guinea and the United Arab Emirates cricket teams, with the matches played as One Day International (ODI) fixtures.[4] The ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 formed part of the qualification pathway to the 2023 Cricket World Cup.[5][6]

In the week before the series, the UAE competed in another tri-nation series, winning two of their four games.[7] In preparation for the series, Nepal played four warm-up matches in Sri Lanka, winning twice against Sri Lanka Navy Club and once against Sri Lanka Police, before losing to a Sri Lanka Combined XI.[8]

On 19 March 2022, Papua New Guinea registered their first win in their 15th match of the Cricket World Cup League 2, when they beat the United Arab Emirates by six wickets.[9]

Squads
