Yes, none of the batsmen of the Nepal team could bat strongly in yesterday's match. Nepal Dal's batsmen failed completely to the tactics of Canada's bowlers. And I will not be shocked by this failure of Nepal team. Because the Nepalese team is much weaker than Canada. Whose position is currently at number seven in the points table. And it is natural that such a weak team will perform poorly against an experienced team. But in my opinion Nepal team should think something new to turn around. So that Nepal cricket team can become a popular team in the future.
Pathetic performance from Nepal. This was a match that they could have won. When Shreyas Movva got out, Canada was struggling at 133/5 in 37 overs. In the next 13 overs, Canada scored 120 runs (at almost 10 runs per over), as Nicholas Kirton butchered the Nepal bowlers. Sandeep Lamichhane is usually very reliable, but he leaked plenty of runs towards the end. Rohit Paudel did the blunder by sticking with the spinners, rather than asking the pacers (Karan KC and Sompal Kami) to bowl.
I don't think Nepal could have won this match. If the target was around 200, there was a chance for Nepal to win. But at the moment, Nepal does not have the ability to win by batting at a big target of 254 runs against Canada. I am saying this because for a long time we have seen erratic performance of Nepali players.
I expected better performance from Nepal bowlers. But Nepalese bowlers could not perform well. Canada's innings was likely to end between 200-220 if the bowlers performed well. However, Nepal will play against Oman in their next match. Nepal has a chance to win this match.
