Nepal V West Indies

Nepal the defending Plate champion would be fighting its pride on Saturday 1st March, as this World Cup has been disappointing so far now. Despite reaching the plate final, its will be afailure if we cannot win the Plate atleast.

Nepal have good bowlers and 4 of our bowlers are inside top 12 wicket takes of the series. Paras Khadka and Raj Shrestha being the pick. Amit Bhattrai and Rahul Bishwakarma both are providing breaks in between. Paras in particular have taken 12 wickets at 11.33. He needs to fire for us to win this match.

Our batting is in disarray. We havent been able to convert our good start to good total. Middle order is not firing at all. Gyanendra Malla has been the biggest failure who just scored 25 runs in 5 innings. Paras is also struggling. We are depending in the lower order for runs. Mahesh Chetri have been better than all other. The leading scorer of the team has just an average of 25.40. We need better than this to win against team like West Indies.

Mahesh Chettri has been phenomenal with the glove. He has dismissed 14 batsman with his glovework in 5 match. Most surprisingly, 9 out of that 14 coming from stumping, which shows his brilliance.

Nepal needs to improve batting and keep on bowling and fielding as they have done against all other teams so far. A total of 230 would be very tugh for Windies to chase, given the way our bowlers are bowling.

Best of Luck boys
