Rohit Paudel to Lead Nepal at T20 World Cup

Rohit Paudel, Nepal’s star batsman, will lead a familiar squad at the upcoming T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA. The 15-man squad includes experienced players like Aasif Sheikh, Anil Kumar Sah, Kushal Bhurtel, and Kushal Malla.

Nepal’s preparations for the World Cup have been mixed. They won the first game of their T20 series against West Indies A by four wickets, thanks to Paudel’s brilliant 112. However, they lost the next two games by 10 runs and 76 runs, respectively.

Despite the recent setbacks, Nepal remains confident heading into the World Cup. They have a talented squad with a good mix of experience and youth. Paudel, who is in excellent form, will be the key player for Nepal. He is a destructive batsman who can score runs quickly.

Other players to watch out for include Aasif Sheikh, who is a reliable opener, and Kushal Bhurtel, who is a talented all-rounder. Nepal also has a strong bowling attack, led by Sompal Kami and Karan KC.

Nepal is placed in Group D of the World Cup, along with Bangladesh, Netherlands, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. They will start their campaign on June 4 against Netherlands in Dallas.

Nepal will be hoping to make a mark at the World Cup. They have the potential to upset some of the bigger teams and reach the knockout stages.

Nepal Defeats Netherlands by Six Wickets in Tri-Series

Nepal’s cricket team emerged victorious in their fifth match of the ongoing Tri-Series, defeating the Netherlands by six wickets. The match, which also featured Namibia, saw Nepal’s bowlers shine as they restricted the Dutch to a modest total of 120 runs.

Pratis GC led the bowling attack for Nepal, claiming three wickets. The Netherlands’ batting lineup struggled to gain momentum, with only Max ODowd managing to score over 30 runs.

In response, Nepal’s batsmen chased down the target with ease, reaching 121 runs in just 15.2 overs. Skipper Rohit Paudel top-scored with 46 runs, while Gulsan Jha contributed 38.

One of the highlights of the match was a stunning fielding effort by Kushal Bhurtel. In the 19th over of the Netherlands’ innings, Bhurtel leaped to prevent a certain six from crossing the boundary line. He then quickly threw the ball to wicketkeeper Aasif Sheikh, who ran out Vivan Kingma for 4.

This dismissal proved crucial as it helped Nepal bundle out the Netherlands for 120 runs in 19.3 overs.

With this victory, Nepal moved to second place in the points table, behind the Netherlands who have won two out of their three matches.
