Nepal vs Namibia: Nepal’s innings are in dire straits after a rapid loss of wickets in their ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 clash with Namibia. They currently stand at 73 runs for the loss of 6 wickets after 21.4 overs. Sompal Kami’s recent dismissal for just 2 runs further compounds their challenges.
Namibia’s captain, Gerhard Erasmus, has been instrumental in Nepal’s downfall. His strategic off-spin bowling secured the key wickets of Kushal Malla and Sompal Kami. A superb catch by Jane Frylinck at square leg, following Erasmus’ sweep shot, added to Nepal’s woes.
Earlier, Rohit Kumar Paudel was bowled out by Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, leaving Nepal struggling. Loftie-Eaton, a U-19 player debuting in one-day cricket, also claimed the wicket of opener Asif Sheikh. Nepal’s misfortunes began with the early dismissals of Kushal Bhurtel (Royal Duck) and Gyanendra Malla (8 runs).
