if we look all team competition in these tournament one only Nepal the best
The vice captain of Afghanistan Muhammad Nabi is on way to kuwait and will participate in the semi final. It boosts up Afghanistan’s bowling and batting.
@achilles ji :- here i dont mean to say nepal is winning the games only due to luck…. bt dont forget fren luck plays role to win every game… and i wanna mak u sure that im not afraid of afganistan..we can defeat afganistan..here im saying lucky nepal only because gyanendra joined the tournament and every decisions of paras khadka are being proven as best decision and winning decisions..its time to be together and support nepal not to fight.so i wish u can understand wat im trying to say and plzzz dont write such a word to anyone..dont make it like youtube’s comment page…we are not same as indian and pakistani (those who use to fight through comments using very vulgar words….anyway every nepali pray for victory….

Once again good luck!!!
A Real Nepali.
It’s quite difficult for Nepal to win from Malaysia, because Malaysia have shown some tremendous performances in the tough group stage. Winning from UAE comfortably and losing a very tensed match against Afghanistan and outplaying Bhutan are the signs which prove that they are a little formidable. One thing that i noticed in their batting is the lack of middle order batsmen, their bowling is good and fielding is good either.
But i feel Nepal have a better bowling attack, top and middle order batsmen and fielding than Malaysia.
So i will be keen to know about the result of this match and i will be supporting nepal because they are our neighbor and they love cricket similar to us. But, i’m afraid if nepal loses this match then it proves they can’t play well under pressure and therefore they lose crucial matches.
Afghanistan is playing against Hong Kong and they’ve kicked us out twice in 2006 semi final and in 2008 semi final in this ACC trophy elite, so this time we’ll not leave them to defend their trophy. Afghanistan is eager to win this trophy.
Best wishes,
