July 31
Nepal defeated Kenya at the match of ICC U-19 World Cup Qualifier 2011 at Dublin. Nepal’s bowlers continued to impress and varied attack which limits Kenya for a meagre 107 in 48.5 overs at the Railway Union Cricket Club. Avinash Karn (3-27), Krishna Karki (3-27), Bhuvan Karki (2-9) and Rahul Vishvakarma (2-26) shared the wickets for Nepal.
Nepal lost quick wickets, but skipper Prithu Baskota (31 n.o.) calmed frayed nerves to steer to an easy six-wicket win in 19.2 overs. Karn’s spell earned him the Man of the Match award. Karn was thrilled to have played a part in the win: “Unlike in the subcontinent, the pitches here offer some assistance. It swung a bit and seamed off the surface for me. We wanted to get them for as low a target as possible. It was a tricky chase but the captain got us through.’’ Report:- ICC
