August 6
Nepal registered win on the
seventh day of the ICC U19
Cricket World Cup Qualifier in
Derry. On a day when rains
affected the game, plenty of
action was witnessed as the
jostling for the supremacy at
the ICC U19 Cricket World
Cup qualifier.
Hosts Ireland featured in
another last over finish, this
time against Nepal at the
Bready Cricket Club. Nepal
batted first and was restricted
to 187 for seven in 46 overs as
rains forced reduction in the
number of overs. Ireland
skipper George Dockrell picked
up 3-15 even as Sagar Pun
made 50 off 100 balls with three
boundaries and a six.
In the chase, the home team lost
early wickets, but Dockrell (55:
86b, 3x4) and Adam Coughlan
(48:86b, 1x4) added 107 runs
for the fifth wicket.
Once the partnership was
broken, the chase fell apart.
Nepal’s left-arm spinner Rahul
Vishvakarma picked up four
wickets in the final over to bowl
out Ireland for 175 and earned
his side a 10-run win.
Dockrell’s all-round effort
earned him the Man of the
Match award, but the skipper
was a disappointed man: “We
bowled well to restrict them, but
they got a few runs towards the
end which helped them a lot.
The match was in the balance
and we seemed to be getting
close. But we lost wickets
towards the end. We still have
two more games to end the
tournament well.” Report: ICC
