KATHMANDU: America has set a target of 36 runs for Nepal at the tri-series of ICC WC Cricket League 2 underway at TU Cricket Ground in Kirtipur on Wednesday.
Invited to bat first after losing the toss, America notched up 35 runs losing all wickets in 12 overs.
America’s XM Marshall scored 16 runs including two fours off 22 balls while the other batsmen could not reach double digit runs.
In reply, Nepal’s Sandeep Lamichhane grabbed highest six wickets of America giving away only 16 runs in six overs and Sushan Bhari claimed four wickets conceding only five runs in three overs, piling pressure on the opponent.
This is the last game Nepal is playing with America under the tri-series. Earlier, Nepal had registered a win by defeating America by 35 runs in the tri-series on Saturday.
Nepal has changed one player. Spinner Lalit Narayan Rajbangsi is playing in place of pace bowler Kamal Singh Airee in today’s match.
