Nepal seamers scythe through Scotland to claim easy win
Nepal's speed assault took advantage of crease well disposed conditions to tear through Scotland's batting on a cloudy day at Glasgow, late obstruction from Gavin Main and the tail demonstrating lacking to get the hosts to a faultless all out as Nepal knocked off the imperative 145 runs in scarcely a portion of their dispensed overs to guarantee a persuading win and 2 essential CWC League 2 focuses in the third game in the League's twelfth three sided series.
Sompal Kami and Aadil Alam guaranteed three wickets each as Nepal took full advantage of a critical throw to lessen the home side to 95-9, preceding an engaging 50 years from Gavin Main at No. 9 reestablished some decency, taking Scotland to 144. They were, however, bowled out with 43 balls remaining. Manager Aasif Sheik would drive the Nepal answer with a lively 71 from the highest point of the request, and regardless of the hosts chipping away with standard wickets the outcome never searched in genuine uncertainty, young person Rohit Paudel bringing Nepal back home in speedy time with an unbeaten 34 of 31.
On a green-touched wicket under ordinarily Scottish skies the day looked an encouraging one for crease bowlers, however few would have anticipated exactly the way that masterfully the sightseers would take advantage of the circumstances. The initial six wickets generally scratched to the manager or slips and did as such one after another.
Sompal Kami took only six balls to guarantee the first, settling Matt Cross and taking the external edge through to Sheik's gloves on the last bundle of his most memorable over and six overs of provisional batting later Karan KC had Calum MacLeod unnecessarily battling at a more limited conveyance outside off and edging to slip. Captain Sandeep Lamichhane required no further support to press the benefit, getting Kushal Bhurtel at third slip for Kyle Coetzer for the following over, and the move paid prompt prize likewise with the following conveyance Kami brought some relief from the drive and flew straight and low into Bhurtel's hands.
At 29-3 after the powerplay with two new bats in the center things previously looked desperate for the home side, and Lamichhane's best course of action would intensify matters further. Carrying Aadil Alam into the assault for the eleventh over paid off on the double, some additional skip first ball saw George Munsey got second sneak off the glove. Six balls later Kami would have his second, one more external edge through to the gloves and Richie Berrington was on his way with his side wrecked at 33-5. Nepal's ideal run of slips gets was broken in Kami's straightaway, a low edge flying wide of second slip put down to relief Mark Watt, yet typical help would continue in the following as Alam drew a free calculated bat shot from Leask and first slip became possibly the most important factor once more, and committed no error.
Having stayed with pace up to that point, Lamichhane at last came on in the twentieth over, however did didn't bear the cost of himself a subsequent slip. On the off chance that he had he also could have struck first ball as a thick external edge from Safyaan Sharif flew directly through the opportunity. Sharif however neglected to ride his karma far, turning into the principal Scotsman to be gotten off the meat of the bat, enticed into a cut by a wide off conveyance from Alam yet not moving past the shot, Bhurtel taking a direct catch at cover highlight carry Main to the center.
Apparently resolute by the conditions, Main looked for terrible balls and rebuffed them, and as it turned out there were a couple of on offer as the Nepal assault capitulated to weakness or over-richness. A drag-down from Lamichhane was requested four over midwicket to take Main to 20 off 16 balls, currently the top-scorer for the Scots. He'd lose one more accomplice in the 30th as Lamichhane slid a googly through Adrian Neill's protections, and at 95-9 after 30 it appeared like match may be finished by lunch.
Be that as it may, last man Hamza Tahir stayed with Main long enough to see him raise his lady ODI fifty hauling Alam out to profound midwicket in the 37th for a solitary. Filling in certainty, Main started to play a few brave shots, scooping Alam behind him for four to begin the 39th as he and Tahir shut on an unrealistic 50 years stand. The pair did Nepal standing by completely 12.4 overs for the last wicket, yet that achievement was not to be, missing the mark having taken Scotland from 95-9 to 144 all out as Tahir's focus at long last passed and a blazing wide drive outside off at Airee took a thick edge that circled up for Pawan Saraf on the ring at additional cover, who took an agreeable catch to close the innings, Main left unbeaten on a urgent 64 off 59.
Home skipper Richie Berrington was obviously under no deceptions in regards to the faultlessness of the aggregate, promptly on the chase after early wickets with three slips in for Sharif in the principal over, yet the edge they needed went excessively wide, Mark Watt at third plunging to one side and putting down Aasif Sheik one-gave on the fourth ball. Sheik and Bhurtel searched in no temperament to hand around, rebuffing an undeniably battered looking Scotland for each free ball and misfield until
Bhurtel gifted them some expectation in the eighth over with a sluggish cut at a more extensive ball from Main to offer the principal wicket, got behind with Nepal three shy of fifty.
Dev Khanal at three was glad to assume a supporting part as Sheik drove the scoring, yet would tumble to Neill in the fourteenth contribution a thick external edge off Neill to slip that just conveyed low to Calum Macleod, however by then Nepal were at that point mostly home. Rohit Paudel would expel any Nepal nerves without a moment's delay as he pulled his most memorable ball away square for four, and when Sheik was gotten off a top-edge at fine leg off Main in the 21st for a 64-ball 71 the game was in essence settled at 125-3.
Maybe with an eye on net run rate DS Airee would go before long, top-edging a draw to profound fine leg to hand a third wicket to Main, who might complete a by and by effective day with figures of 3-46 to go with his half cenutry. Captain Richie Berrington would likewise have a proportion of individual relief in the wicket of Aarif Sheik, who spooned a full shot in the dark for the manager, yet it would come to late to assist his group as Paudel with putting Hamza Tahir across the rope on the main chunk of the 26th to seal an unequivocal success for Nepal.
The triumph sees Nepal edge back in front of Namibia into fifth put on the table, but just on net run rate having played two more matches than the Namibians, who they will take on in the future at Ayr on Saturday. Namibia have a prior meeting with the hosts notwithstanding, meeting Scotland again at Glasgow tomorrow.
