I do not understand why Paras opted to bat first on such a moist pitch after the rain? Was the toss decision made before it rained?

Well, to reach Plate Championship by beating some relatively good teams is good. West Indies is just very good team. Beating the test nations like South Africa, New Zealand and Pakistan in the past does not prove that Nepal has to beat them, or West Indies again.

I really appreciate how Nepalese U-19 team went to the tournament itself and performed so good despite lack of facilities and turmoil at home. I really hate to see if Paras does not get a financial sponsorship, and refrain from Nepali Cricket. We already lost good players in the past like Kanishka Chaugai and Bardan Chalise due to financial insecurity.
