3 ODI and 3 T20 series starting tomorrow. This is the first time the two are meeting since Nepal gained ODI status. Sky Sports will be broadcasting the matches in the UK.

UAE are 13th and 14th in the ICC T20 and ODI rankings respectively.
Nepal has not played enough of either format to be ranked

The two have met 14 times for 50-over matches, with UAE winning 9, Nepal 2, and one tied game
The last match was in Dec 2017 which UAE won by 63 runs.

Jai Nepal!

First ODI
UAE beat Nepal by 3 wickets

UAE won the toss, put Nepal in and dismissed them for 113. Nepali bowlers led a fight back, and at one point has UAE 7/73 but the 8th wicket pair remained unbeaten to take UAE to a win
