Nepal Creates Ripples
As its popularity spreads around the globe, so too has its pool of former Indian stars grown.
Nepal nearly pulled off an upset against South Africa but lost to a run-out on the final ball. They will look to improve against Bangladesh.
Nepal Creates Ripples | Bangladesh vs. Nepal
Bangladesh took control in their opening match against Nepal with an emphatic display, crushing them by an impressive 83 runs in Cox’s Bazar. Veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan led with his bat, scoring an unbeaten 64 off 46 balls while opener Tanzid Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, and Mahmudullah made invaluable contributions as well.
Khushal Bhurtel made an impactful showing with his bowling, taking 4 for 19 from four overs he bowled alone. Abinash Bohara, Karan KC, Gulshan Jha and Dipendra Singh Airee provided ample support during his four overs.
After their loss against South Africa in their opening Group D match, the defending champions would want to rebound against one of the smaller nations.
Bangladesh will need a win against Nepal to make the Super 8s alongside Group D leaders South Africa. While Bangladesh are heavy favourites in this clash, anything can happen in cricket – so they shouldn’t take this match lightly. Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent is known for being slow so batting first may be their best bet; both previous matches played there have seen teams defend 159 and 115 runs respectively in previous matches played there; Bangladesh must replicate their disciplined batting performance from against Netherlands before toss decider who dominates in terms of both batting and fielding capabilities – or face defeat!
Nepal Creates Ripples | Bangladesh vs. Netherlands
On Tuesday morning in Dallas, Grand Prairie Stadium is packed with over 5,000 Nepalese supporters cheering their team in a group stage match against Netherlands. While these numbers might seem far removed from those seen back home, their passion for cricket is evident here more than ever this week.
The Dutch found themselves in difficulty when they lost both openers early and were reduced to 49-5 at halfway point, before Vikramjit Singh and Sybrand Engelbrecht found some much-needed stability through an entertaining partnership before Sybrand fell victim to leg spinner Fizz in 16th over. Subsequently, three more wickets fell quickly for Bangladesh as the Dutch suffered three further casualties.
Bangladesh have one win from three final-three games and need to defeat Nepal and Sri Lanka to qualify for the Super Eight round and possibly make one of the top four spots. A victory would give Bangladesh confidence following their last-ball triumph against South Africa. But they will be up against an opponent full of confidence that could wreak havoc against them.
Nepal Creates Ripples | Bangladesh vs. Oman
Nepal came close to snatching an historic win against South Africa but were denied by an unfortunate error during a missed run-out at the final ball – it was heartbreaking news both for them and their supporters who had come out to support them.
Bangladesh displayed tremendous grit and determination against Netherlands associates. Shakib Al Hasan’s incredible all-round performance as he scored 64 not out off 46 balls was one highlight. Bangladesh will look to build on this performance when they host Oman.Nepal Creates Ripples

Nepal Creates Ripples | Bangladesh vs. Papua New Guinea
Nepal and Netherlands clashing in Dallas was an unlikely sporting match-up on Tuesday, yet Grand Prairie Stadium was packed with 5500 Nepalis creating an electric atmosphere for this Group stage match between two Associate nations thousands of miles apart.
Shakib Al Hasan will look to replicate his half-century performance against Papua New Guinea by anchoring Bangladesh batting and adding pace with his right-arm offbreak bowling. The veteran all-rounder may play an integral part of Bangladesh batting while also adding pace through right arm offbreak delivery.
Papua New Guinea skipper Assad Vala made his second fifty of the tournament but it wasn’t enough to prevent his side’s third consecutive loss in St Vincent. Their top order batsmen struggled and it looked as if they wouldn’t even reach 100 before Kiplin Doriga struck some crucial shots towards the end and gave them an impressive total of 95 runs.Nepal Creates Ripples
Run-out on the final ball prevented them from scoring a landmark win, despite previous defeats against South Africa and Afghanistan. But their mettle was evident all throughout. Their bowlers led by Kushal Bhurtel collected four wickets; when their batting faltered their fielders stood firm. While losing was unfortunate they can use this experience going forward to improve in future matches.Nepal Creates Ripples
