"A quick update from mobile...."
It is not a good sign for Nepal's trophy hope. Win or loss is a part of game, but losing in such a passion is not expected from the highly anticipated team. Nepal, with number of good players, who had have little or more international experience deserved to give better fight back. But, for the consecutive time, Nepal gave up an easy submission to its opponent.
Subash Khakurel: The only batsman who impressed so far
As the news came from Bangladesh, Nepal batting collapsed surprisingly while chasing 211 set by Bangladesh in 1st inning. Nepal managed only 66 losing all 10 wickets. Especially, the major problem seems to be in lower middle orders.
Nepal lost its last 5 wickets for 2 runs. The similar situation was in the first practice match, when the team lost 4 batsmen for ducks. ACC event is at the doorstep, and Nepal should focus on eliminating its weakness as soon as possible, if it wants to keep the hope to win the trophy alive. |
