Hurray we’v won the match.thanks guys 4 updating scores.and best of luck 4 up coming matches.
Hurray
Solid batting display by nepali team,its one the best batting performances ever against such a good team.If we play like today then we can beat the teams like UAE and Afgansthan. It was not only a win it was a win in style that nepal rarely gets against evenly placed teams.Hong Kong and Oman are the division 3 teams so these wins proves that it is not only the day dreaming of Nepal, playing in world cup or getting ODI status.
Fantabulous performance by the Nepali side. It really played like a true champion and registered its second emphatic win in this tournament. Bowlers, batsmen and fielders are complementing each other very well and playing as a cohesive team. Once again, skipper Paras Khadka leading from the front and playing a pivotal role in today’s victory. So finally, senior Nepali side has found the elusive magic formula and using to it clinical finishes in its games. Keep up the good work and do not be content with what you have achieved as there is always a room of improvement for improving your skills.
Congrats boys, play to your full potential with strong self-belief and see the world is your oyster….
Mr nags,
where is the news that you earlier stated that Singapore is likely to replace Nepal in division 4.
http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Sport/Story/STIStory_509267.html
it doesn’t say anything abt replacing but ICC are getting more involved on that matter.
This is one of da great innings from nepali side against such a well balanced team.Nepal is really showing the batting quality nowadays after losing the serious game against USA in ICC WCL DIV 5.paras,sharad,Gyanendra and others must play well for the rest of the games in this tournament.Coz this tournament is best practice for upcoming WCL DIV 4 games….
Congratz to Nepali TEam..
‘nepali thita’ haru lai congratulation … for giving us this gift…………… and we expect more……..
wow! nepalese are going talent in cricket….
