NEPAL DEFEAT NETHERLANDS BY 1 RUNS FOR THEIR FIRST EVER ODI WIN!!
Batting first, the pace of Fred Klaassen (3/38) cleaned up the top order. Then, Paras & Dipendra were repairing the innings before Dipendra lost his wicket to a needless runout. Paras Khadka scored a well composed half century and was putting on a decent partnership with Aarif. Just when Nepal looked on course to score a decent total, they lost Paras and Aarif quickly.
Things looked bleak but Sompal took the fight to the opposition. He scored 61 (46), a rarity for a number 8 batsman to score half century in ODI cricket. He put on a partnership of 41 runs with Sandeep, who interestingly added 0 runs in the partnership! Nepal at one staged seemed destined to be bowled out for around 180 but put on 216 runs.
Sompal then carried his form to the next innings, bowling the dangerous Stephan Myburgh with the 2nd ball of the innings. The dutch came fighting back with ter Braak soaking the pressure with an 83 ball 39. The Dutch were gearing towards a win at 114/2 in the 29th over. Enter Sandeep Lamichanne! He picked 2 wickets in the same over to split the game wide open. However, Wesley Barresi threatened to take the game away from Nepal scoring an 89 ball 71before Dipendra Singh Airee dismissed him LBW. The last Dutch pair took the game to Nepal by adding 30 runs for the last wicket. Dipendra kept the game alive by conceding only 3 runs in the penultimate over and with 6 runs required in the last over. The match went to the last ball, with the Dutch required 2 runs. Paras bowled a fuller slow ball, Klaassen hit it straight back to Paras, who the presence of mind to gather the ball and run Klaassen out! There were plenty of nerves but Nepal eventually winning by 1 runs, their first ever in ODI to square the series 1-1.
Plenty of positives for Nepal.
– Anil Sah introduced himself in the grand stage in the 1st ODI
– Gyanendra scored an attractive 50 in the 1st ODI, leaving behind his opening woes
– Paras Khadka’s threatening bowling in the 1st ODI.
– Sompal’s staking a claim as an all rounder with a 46 ball 61 in the 2nd ODI
– Rohit Paudel’s athletic one handed catch to dismiss Ben Cooper that had people screaming both at the ground and at their homes.
Nepal’s next assignment is the Asia Cup Qualifiers which begins on August 29th in Malaysia.
So Nepal has won their 1st ODI match and levelled the series (1-1)

Nepal’s problem with opening is well documented. The opening stand put on 58 runs in the first ODI. Suprisingly
Nepal shuffled the opening, with Subash opening along with Gyanendra. They put on 29 before pace Fred Klaassen (3/38) cleaned up the top order. Paras & Dipendra were repairing the innings before Dipendra lost his wicket to a needless runout. Paras Khadka scored a well composed half century and was putting on a decent partnership with Aarif. Just when Nepal looked on course to score a decent total, they lost Paras and Aarif quickly.
Just when things looked bleak, Sompal took the fight to the opposition. He scored 61 (46), a rarity for a number 8 batsman to score half century. He added a partnership of 41 runs with Sandeep, who interestingly added 0 runs in the partnership! Nepal at one staged seemed destined to be bowled out for around 180, but have put on 216 runs.
Game on as the dutch were bowled out for 189 in the 1st ODI. But Nepal were bowled out 48.5 overs so they missed playing out 7 more balls! ODI cricket being a game of small margins, will that come back to hurt Nepal? Or will Nepal dismiss the Dutch cheaply to level the series? Do join us in around 40 minutes for the Dutch reply.
Nepal bowled out for 216.but they have recovered well at the end having themselves all sort of trouble at 88/5 .Thanks to superb 61(46) from Sompal kami who became 3rd half centurion and khadka who made 51.This looks really good total with the kind of bowling nepal have got .

Tweet by Peter Della Penna – Malla looks awfully good today and the pitch isn’t offering much under cloudless sunny skies. The ball isn’t rearing up off a length for bowlers from the Mulder End either today (the end that Khadka took four wickets from). 250 should be a bare minimum for Nepal

NEPAL DEFEAT NETHERLANDS BY 1 RUNS FOR THEIR FIRST EVER ODI WIN!!
Batting first, the pace of Fred Klaassen (3/38) cleaned up the top order. Then, Paras & Dipendra were repairing the innings before Dipendra lost his wicket to a needless runout. Paras Khadka scored a well composed half century and was putting on a decent partnership with Aarif. Just when Nepal looked on course to score a decent total, they lost Paras and Aarif quickly.
Things looked bleak but Sompal took the fight to the opposition. He scored 61 (46), a rarity for a number 8 batsman to score half century in ODI cricket. He put on a partnership of 41 runs with Sandeep, who interestingly added 0 runs in the partnership! Nepal at one staged seemed destined to be bowled out for around 180 but put on 216 runs.
Sompal then carried his form to the next innings, bowling the dangerous Stephan Myburgh with the 2nd ball of the innings. The dutch came fighting back with ter Braak soaking the pressure with an 83 ball 39. The Dutch were gearing towards a win at 114/2 in the 29th over. Enter Sandeep Lamichanne! He picked 2 wickets in the same over to split the game wide open. However, Wesley Barresi threatened to take the game away from Nepal scoring an 89 ball 71before Dipendra Singh Airee dismissed him LBW. The last Dutch pair took the game to Nepal by adding 30 runs for the last wicket. Dipendra kept the game alive by conceding only 3 runs in the penultimate over and with 6 runs required in the last over. The match went to the last ball, with the Dutch required 2 runs. Paras bowled a fuller slow ball, Klaassen hit it straight back to Paras, who the presence of mind to gather the ball and run Klaassen out! There were plenty of nerves but Nepal eventually winning by 1 runs, their first ever in ODI to square the series 1-1.
Plenty of positives for Nepal.
– Anil Sah introduced himself in the grand stage in the 1st ODI
– Gyanendra scored an attractive 50 in the 1st ODI, leaving behind his opening woes
– Paras Khadka’s threatening bowling in the 1st ODI.
– Sompal’s staking a claim as an all rounder with a 46 ball 61 in the 2nd ODI
– Rohit Paudel’s athletic one handed catch to dismiss Ben Cooper that had people screaming both at the ground and at their homes.
Nepal’s next assignment is the Asia Cup Qualifiers which begins on August 29th in Malaysia.

0.1 Sompal Kami to Myburgh, no run
Nepal’s problem with opening is well documented. The opening stand put on 58 runs in the first ODI. Suprisingly
Nepal shuffled the opening, with Subash opening along with Gyanendra. They put on 29 before pace Fred Klaassen (3/38) cleaned up the top order. Paras & Dipendra were repairing the innings before Dipendra lost his wicket to a needless runout. Paras Khadka scored a well composed half century and was putting on a decent partnership with Aarif. Just when Nepal looked on course to score a decent total, they lost Paras and Aarif quickly.
Just when things looked bleak, Sompal took the fight to the opposition. He scored 61 (46), a rarity for a number 8 batsman to score half century. He added a partnership of 41 runs with Sandeep, who interestingly added 0 runs in the partnership! Nepal at one staged seemed destined to be bowled out for around 180, but have put on 216 runs.
Game on as the dutch were bowled out for 189 in the 1st ODI. But Nepal were bowled out 48.5 overs so they missed playing out 7 more balls! ODI cricket being a game of small margins, will that come back to hurt Nepal? Or will Nepal dismiss the Dutch cheaply to level the series? Do join us in around 40 minutes for the Dutch reply.
Nepal bowled out for 216.but they have recovered well at the end having themselves all sort of trouble at 88/5 .Thanks to superb 61(46) from Sompal kami who became 3rd half centurion and khadka who made 51.This looks really good total with the kind of bowling nepal have got .
