First-ever ODI match for Nepal today
There are only a handful of cricket matches in history where the start of the match is more important and significant that the result of the match; even fewer matches when both teams are looking forward to the start more than the results. The Netherlands vs Nepal on August 1, 2018, at the VRA Ground in Armsterdam will go down in the history as one such match. It’s first ever One Day International (ODI) match for Nepal – and it also marks the return of the Netherlands, who already have played 79 ODIs, to the ODI after four years. For Nepal, it’s a dream come true – albeit a bit late for older fans as the country’s cricket held that… Read More

Nepal beat Hong Kong to keep alive ODI hopes
For Hong Kong, it was a simple formula in last match of the first round of the World Cup Qualifiers 2018: beat Nepal to go to Super Sixes and retain ODI status. For Afghanistan, who had just one victory against Nepal from four matches, it was even simpler: Nepal beat Hong and they are through. For Nepal, Super Sixes was mathematically possible, practically not, but a victory meant there was still a chance to get ODI status for next four years. Nepal’s five-wicket victory over Hong Kong in Bulawayo made Nepal and Afghanistan happier and Hong Kong sadder. Hong Kong reduced Nepal to 66/5 in pursuit of only 154 for victory. But an outstanding unbroken stand of 89 for the… Read More

Nepal ends second to UAE in WCL 2 despite Paras’ century
Nepal scored a total that has become unimaginable giving poor batting performances with captain Paras Khadka getting a classy century, still UAE beat Nepal by 7 runs to claim the World Cricket League Division 2 title at the Wanderers.

Nepal beat Kenya after Sandeep’s best bowling performance
Sandeep Lamichhanne returned with the best bowling figure by any Nepali player in List A cricket matches; and Aarif Sheikh and Rohit Paudel showed enough nerves to rescue Nepal from a difficult position to register a close win. Kenya made 177/8 in 50 overs as bowlers – except Sandeep – struggled to take wickets at the Wanderers Cricket Ground. Nepal’s chase was – as always – in trouble when it was 14/3 and later 82/5. Aarif and Rohit added 87 runs to take Nepal to a winning position. In last over, Nepal needed 6 runs with Rohit and Sompal Kami batting. Rohit took two in the first ball, one in second ball and Sompal took another one in the third… Read More
Paras, Sompal & Sandeep star in Nepal’s victory over UAE
United Arab Emirates (UAE) is Nepal’s old foe which had in recent matches outperformed Nepal – thanks to their ODI status. And, when the two teams went head to head in the World Cricket League Division 2 match, both were desperate for victory having won one of two matches. It turned out that Nepal still have the strength to beat the UAE with three star performers – pacer Sompal Kami, leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane and all-rounder Paras Khakda – making crucial contributions to Nepal’s four wicket victory. Invited to bat first in a 34 overs per side match, UAE struggled to score runs and were bundled out for 114 in 31 overs. Nepal’s batting woes continued but quick-fire half-century from Paras… Read More
Nepal beat Namibia by 1 wicket in a nail-biting finish
He had done it a few times for Nepal for U19 team, but Basant Regmi’s unbeaten 24 off 24 balls against hosts Namibia was a master stroke. The left-arm orthodox, batting at No. 10, pulled a stunning one wicket victory in the World Cricket League Division 2. Nepal scored 139 for 9 in 49.2 overs to surpass Namibia’s 138 all out in 34. 2 overs at the Affies Park, Windhoek. When Basant walked into the ground with the bat, Nepal was at 104/8 needing another 35 runs for victory – that looked only a miracle. Sompal Kami made useful 13 runs but was not impressive as he was beaten repeatedly. With No. 11 Sandeep Lamichhane in, Namibia was near the… Read More
