Nepal Concludes CWC League 2 Round with Sole Victory in 3 Matches
Nepal’s journey in the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 (CWC League 2) has concluded with a lone victory in three matches. Despite a fervent effort, Nepal faced a setback at home, losing to the Netherlands by eight wickets at the TU Cricket Ground on Sunday.
Batting first, Nepal struggled to set a formidable total, managing only 172 runs within the 50-over mark. While Kushal Bhurtel showcased resilience with a commendable 66 off 93 balls, lack of support from other batters led to Nepal’s downfall. Aryan Dutt and Vivian Kingma starred with the ball, each claiming three wickets.
In response, the Netherlands confidently chased down the target, exhibiting dominance from the outset. Max O’Dowd and Michael Levitt’s opening partnership of 61 runs set the stage, followed by a robust 102-run partnership between Vikramjit Singh and Sybrand Engelbrecht, securing victory with 73 balls to spare.
As the round concludes, Nepal, despite the setback, looks forward to the upcoming T20 Tri-Series, where they aim for a resurgence alongside their competitors.
