Nepal needs to win !!
Nepal, the host of WCL Div 5, have not lost any match in the series till now. Tomorrow we will be facing USA, a team largely filled with Caribbean imports and South Asian immigrants. USA is the only team with players who have test match experience and as a team they are the only team in this series who have played ODI. They also have four out of the ten high scorers of the series.
Nepal on the other hand is unbeaten till now. Singapore is the only team that pushed Nepal to limits. Singapore, another promotion hopefuls, are the only team that has been able to beat USA. Nepal has heavily relied on spin bowling and middle order batsmen to win the match. Pace bowlers have been very unsuccessful for Nepal so far. they have only managed to take 3 wickets between them so for this series. The star duo of Alam and Das have been very unsuccessful (and underused too).
The main problem for Nepal would be its opening par. Both the batsmen have not been able to score higher than 11 in any of the last four match. There are no any sign of dropping them either. The only other specialist opener(Anil Mandal) in the squad is also out of form. There is a big question mark over the selection committee for not picking in-form Subash Khakurel for opening spot even after scoring consecutive 50s' in practice match.
It will be tough to win against USA tomorrow. They are a good batting side, we are a good bowling side. They will try to exploit our batting woes.
May the players do what they are expected to do and are capable of doing !!!!!
