The match between Nepal and the USA will be played at the Kinrara Oval, Kuala Lumpur at 7.15 NST.
After defeating Papua New Guinea by nine wickets in its opener on Thursday and recording a 171-run win over Uganda on Friday, Nepal is leading the table on the basis of net run rate despite having equal four points to second-placed Ireland, which also beat Papua New Guinea by 111 runs in its first match on Friday and defeated the USA by eight wickets on Sunday.
The USA has only two points from two matches and lies on the fourth position in the five-team competition.
Nepal has faced the USA only once previously. During that occasion, Nepal had defeated the opponent by 99 runs in the ICC U-19 World Cup Qualifiers held in Ireland in 2011 as it qualified for the 2012 U-19 World Cup held in Australia.
Meanwhile, Ireland is also scheduled to play against Uganda, which has two points from three matches, on Monday.
Both matches of Monday will be vital for all four teams as the win over the USA will secure Nepal' berth in the final, while win over Uganda will also confirm Ireland's berth in the final.
However, if the USA and Uganda win their respective matches then the competition will be wide open for all four teams besides Papua New Guinea, which has lost all three matches.
On Wednesday, Nepal will play against Ireland and the USA will meet Papua New Guinea in their last round-robin match before the final and third place play-off scheduled for Thursday.
Only the winner of the Qualifiers will book ticket for Bangladesh, which will host the youth World Cup next year from 22 January to 14 February.
