Nepal began their campaign with a huge victory over Denmark, but they will be concerned that they lost five wickets in the chase of a low target, and had to depend on their captain Paras Khadka. Nepal's bowlers shot out Denmark for 79 in 19.4 overs, with Sagar Pun taking 3 for 12 and Basant Regmi 2 for 8. Only three Denmark batsmen made it into double figures. Nepal's chase got off to a horrific start though, with two wickets falling before they had scored. Khadka then dominated a 67-run partnership for the third wicket by scoring 48 off 34 balls. After he was dismissed, Nepal lost two more wickets with the score on 68, before they achieved the target in 13.1 overs.

CAN XI lost their 3rd match.

This is totally poor batting display from Nepalese side, CAN XI. Defeat against DENA bank was expensive for CAN XI, or else we could have even got a more chance to play with more better team.

We can conclude, ONGC was the best side so far in comparison to DENA and UK XI.

Now again , a time came to think about Nepali Cricket Team. Our batting is traditionally weak, so and it is proved today too. 
So, we need to think seriously on this matter and only we will be able to play world cup.

Pour some words to Nepalese batting.    ONGC won by 9 wicket.........

Keep up the great work cricketers

There is no doubt, the national cricket team of Nepal is on a roll. They continue to play with poise, confidence and discipline, something we did not see in the past.The cricketers’ latest accomplishment in the ICC World Cup League Division Three in Bermuda speaks volumes of their potential to succeed in a challenging and competitive environment.Before I proceed any further and without wasting any time, I would like to congratulate Team Nepal and the coaching staff on another successful championship, where they stood out and beat the odds.Nepal made a remarkable comeback to win the championship, especially after conceding two successive matches. They were on the brink of not qualifying for the next league division.They were in a situation where they had to win all of their remaining matches, and hoped that Bermuda would prevail over the United States.As the saying goes,” Fortune favors the brave”. Nepali cricketers’ wheel of fortune turned in their favor much to everyone’s delight.Bermuda got the better of the United States, and Nepal needed a big win against Italy, which they did.Nepal assured of place in ICC World Cup League Division Second exacted revenge over Uganda to capture the Division Three title. More important, Nepal gets to play in the World Cup qualifiers in 2014 in New Zealand.In my opinion this was the national team’s best ever performance in international cricket to date. What struck me most about players; they displayed plenty of confidence, maturity, fighting spirit and appetite for success.Undisputably, it was a great sporting achievement that everyone should take pride of. They have truly made us and the country proud.So what a dumb person like President of ANFA Ganesh Thapa undermined the accomplishment. He is just envious and a sore loser. I think he’s made a fool of himself.Our cricketers have significantly developed as a team and individual players. Lately, at each tournament, we have witnessed their confidence grow and performance improve further. The progress is evident in results.They deserve every bit of praise and credit they get. So does the Sri Lankan coach and his coaching staff for their tireless work. They have moved one step closer to realizing their long cherished dream, competing against the very best in the game.We know the success achieved by the team has come through painstaking hard work, passionate pursuit of excellence and never give up attitude. Despite the sad state of affairs, it has not dampened the spirits of cricketers.To Team Nepal, every success brings new challenges and hopes. Of course, meeting the new challenges is a tough and arduous task. The cricketers, however, have proven that success is attainable at any level with hard work, diligent effort, persistence and adequate international exposure.That said, but it is easier said than done. Everyone agrees that the team really needs a good meaningful planning and preparation, including quality international exposure in order to stand a chance in the upcoming two internationals.The two tournaments provide them with great opportunities to test and grow their skills. There should be no delay in preparing the team.The Bermuda success euphoria has died down. Players, as expected, got heaps of praises, accolades and monetary incentives for their fantastic performance.Now is the time to prepare for the new challenge. The first big litmus test for Team Nepal is the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 qualifiers in the UAE later this year.Cricketers need to settle down and seriously work on their shortcomings. Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) cannot afford to sit back and do nothing.They have to make every effort to help the team grow and attain more ambitious goals. The bigger question is: Can cricketers count on the cricket body? I guess you have the answer.

Luck is for the brave

Nepal stepped on Bermuda’s soil as the favorites to win the World Cricket League Division 3. After a couple of matches, it looked like Nepal would have to struggle to avoid relegation.

The month changed after that and in May, Nepal came up with the performance that for many were simply unexpected. With the bravery within the field – and some luck – Nepal qualified to the Division 2 and World Cup qualifiers and is strongly poised to win the trophy!

The journey was bumpy.

USA had just two home-born players and one of them Steve Taylor ensured Nepal has the worst start possible. He scored 162 off 102 balls helping USA post 366 in 50 overs. The massive total in a small ground proved well beyond reach of Nepal despite scores of 70s from Paras Khadka and Sharad Vesawkar.

Uganda was not fancied to beat Nepal but they outplayed Nepal in every department very next day making a bad start even worse. The African team bowled out Nepal for 116 in 44.2 overs and defeated by 6 wickets with 138 balls remaining.

Two big losses in April and net run rate reading a big minus. Nepal needed big victories. In May, victories did come.

Nepal beat hosts Bermuda by 8 wickets with 232 balls remaining after bowling them out for 106.  And, they also beat Asian team, Oman, not-very-convincingly by 28 runs to remain in the race – a difficult one.

Uganda has already qualified and USA was within inches of the qualification. Nepal’s chances rested on a series of favorable results.

It was unlikely but mathematically possible for Nepal that has always felt luck was on the other side, but it found itself progressing to Division 2, thus to the World Cup qualifiers, by exactly a series of favorable results.

Needing a massive victory, and more importantly also needing Bermuda’s victory over USA, to end at the top of the table, Nepal found that everything happened exactly as they needed.

Nepal restricted Italy to 127 for 9 in 50 overs and chased the target in 14.5 overs with 211 balls remaining. The victory ensured that Bermuda’s win over USA, by any margin, would put Nepal into the final.

Hosts Bermuda, playing in front of dignitaries including West Indies legend Brian Lara, chased USA’s 220/9 in 44.4 overs losing 5 wickets. Captain C Douglas played a match-winning knock of 89 in 75 balls thus effectively also saving his team from possible relegation.

It’s difficult to assess where the magic come from but easy to find from where.

The magic came from determination and bravery of Nepali players. The spinners were not performing well in earlier matches, but they found their mettle in later stage; captain Paras led with example – and Nepal’s continued experiments (some may call it strategy after the success) proved useful.

Against Italy in the final match, with slim chances of progressing, Nepali players took to the ground with such determination that I personally feel that the team was lacking for many years. It was a feeling that luck would favor us only if we ensured the best from our side.

Nepal needed to chase down Italy’s score in 21.3 overs to ensure that Bermuda’s win, by any margin, would put Nepal on final but they didn’t relinquish after getting a quick start and finished it well ahead in 14.5 overs. No need, but why relent while you are going well.

And, what about the chances to World Cup?

Nepal and Uganda will enter the World Cup qualifiers as the lowest ranked team – and finishing at the top is a tough job. But who knows in cricket, such a funny game of unpredictability.

Nepal in Division 3 has already proved near-impossible are achievable – let’s hope for the best and cheer the team that is about to play the highest level of cricket in its history!
