KATHMANDU: A miracle thing took place in the final match between Nepal and Hong Kong under the ACC U-19 Eastern Region 2019 on Tuesday.
When the match umpire flicked the coin for the teams to choose either head and tail of it, the coin couldn’t budge either way rather it got stuck upright in the middle, compelling the referee to redo it.
Finally, Nepal won the toss and elected to field.
? How often do we see this?
