NEPAL vs Norway

Today, our Team NEPAL is playing against Norway at Farmers Field Ground.

Norway, who batted first in their first match against Vanuatu and scored 360 for 3 in alloted 50 overs. And their batsman Shahid Ahmad got not out 133 there but in the next match against USA, they collapsed for mere 85 runs in 31.1 overs and gave away 10 wickets victory in 14.5 overs.

Now, Nepal is batting, and again batting at disarray, loosing wickets in regular Intervals. All the batsmen got start but can’t get continued.

Now, Yesterday’s bowling Hero Mahboob Alam and Captain Binod K. Das is batting. it’s 138 for 7 in 35 overs.

Lets see, could our batsmen bat through out all the overs? or bowled out within 150 ?

Update:

Nepal raced to 204 for all out but at least crossed 200 mark. good news is Mahboob Alam got half century and captain Binod K. Das got useful 32 at the end which brought Nepalese score cross to 200 which will be very much defendable target with having firing guns like Mahboob, Binod himself, Basant, Paras, Dhirendra, Sanjam and Shakti. We have the most dengerous bowling attack in the tournament so we could see here as well a low score.

let’s see, what happen there?

at last NEPAL WON THE MATCH BY 108 RUNS

All ten wickets for Nepal’s Mahboob Alam

From cricketeurope.com, 25 May 2008

Nepal’s left-arm seamer Mahaboob Alam produced an extraordinary performance at Grainville on Sunday, taking all ten wickets at a cost of 12 runs as Mozambique were bowled out for 19 in 14.5 overs.

Alam was on a hat-trick three times in the course of his 7.5 overs, and finished off the innings with four wickets – three of them bowled – in six balls.

He bowled straight and full throughout his spell, and four of his victims were out leg-before.

Remarkably, in the first attempt to play the match on Saturday, in which Mozambique had been bowled out for 70 before the rain descended, Alam had contributed a wicketless five-over spell as Binod Das and Basant Regmi each collected five-wicket hauls.

But on Sunday he was not to be denied, and the Mozambicans had no answer to his mastery of line and length.

Mozambique were chasing a Nepalese total of 238 for seven, which represented a good recovery after they had been 30 for three at one stage. Imtiyaz Lili picked up two wickets and Aasif Koliya one, but then Shakti Gauchan and Gyanendra Malla restored the innings with a fourth-wicket stand of 73.

Gauchan went for 34, but Malla continued in partnership with Paras Khadka, adding 80 for the fifth wicket.

Khadka was the next to go, after making 44 off 50 balls with two fours and a six, and Malla was finally out for 71, made from 101 balls with four boundaries.

Alam and Basant Regmi pushed the total up to 234, and it had reached 238 by the close.

Koliya was the most successful of the Nepalese bowlers with three for 49.

The Nepalese total always seemed likely to be too much for Mozambique, but nobody could have reckoned with Alam’s unbelievable achievement. There wasn’t too much doubt about who would win the Man of the Match award.

Here is the after match interview with our Captain Binod K. Das;

Mahboob Alam claimed all the wickets of Mozambique

Mahboob Alam has got 10 wickets haul in a match played today. He has 5 out 10 bowled, 4 LBWs and a caught behind. He is our star allrounder who can bat aggressively and claims wickets like this.

This is the great match for Nepalese history. I enjoyed it very much.. what about you…
