The top two teams from the group will play in the semifinals.
While Nepal are returning to the competition for the first time since 2016, UAE are set for their second consecutive appearance and will be high on confidence having won more than half of their matches this year.
The lack of game-time will be a concern for Nepal whose last outing was in mid February when they lost to Malaysia in the Asian Cricket Council's Women's Premier Cup.
UAE were last seen in action in May when they lost in the T20 World Cup Qualifier semifinal to Sri Lanka.
