Did not know Nepal Had a Women's Basketball team as well. I wish i could see that video.











SINGAPORE, July 2: Japan thrashed Nepal 34-0 in women´s basketball in the ongoing Youth Asian Games 2009 being held in Singapore on Thursday.



Nepali women basketball players, who had played a very competitive game
against South Korea on Wednesday, failed to score a single point. Japan
was declared winner 2 minutes before the final whistle.



Nora Gurung, captain of the Nepali team, said: “The lack of exposure
and the superior height quality of Japanese players is the main reason
of our poor performance.”



Samikshan Bista, Shiva Karmacharya, Rajshri Thapa and Nora played in
the match against Japan. The possibility of advancing to the next round
for Nepal ended after the defeat.
