[Unknown Op]

In ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 match between Nepal vs Netherlands already started. Nepal won the toss and chose to bowling first. It seems they are doing good performance. Because after 12 over Netherlands only took 35 run and the also loose their two strong batsmen. Netherlands current run-rate is about only 2.91. I think it was not a good start for Netherland team.
Before the starting this match, I was thought about that Netherlands would won this match without any questions. Now I think it kinda became hard to understand what gonna happen. Their two openers both are failed to do the performance. If this continue I don't think that Netherlands will be able to cross 200run today. Can't say with guarantee yet because, Nepal's batting is still left.

At this moment, both squads have left the ground because match has already finished of this competition ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 and this match was played among Netherlands sqaud and Nepal squad. In previous match Nepal squad was displayed really a bad performance in first match and gave very low defeating target because of this, Nepal sqaud lost this match but current, their squad comeback in today match, they defeated Netherlands sqaud members very badly aand just lost one batter wickets, they achieved all target which was 137 scores. Aasif Sheikh and Kushal Bhurtel both these batter came first in field as a starter batter displayed nice performance but one batter Kushal Bhurtel was wiped out at 28 scores but Aasif Sheikh 54 scores with not out. Next batter Anil Sah also collected 57 scores and contribute best performance in this match and at last, Nepal squad emerged victory.

Nepal won the match comprehensively by 9 wickets and under 16 overs. This victory is a morale booster for them. Batting first, the Netherlands's batter got the start but could not convert it into an opportunity. A 138-run target is nothing in international cricket. NED batting failed miserably. In response, Nepal played good cricket and won the game comfortably. Nepal improved their game a lot compared to the first match, where they got all out on a similar total. In this match, they batted aggressively and did not allow the Netherlands bowlers to settle.

ICC CWC League 2 is started. Netherlands vs Nepal match has end today and surprising Nepal won by 9 wickets lol. Ned bat first and did 137 run from (39 overs). Most of players tired to defense the bowl and collected a lower amount of runs. Kushal Bhurtel got 4 wickets alone. But when nepal started batting, it seems they were playing T20 match. They improved themselves a lot. They played too good today and they just Crossed 137 run target with 15 overs only. Where hald century done by Anil Kumar Sah and Aasif Sheikh respectively

Congratulations Nepal team after losing one match and in this match,  Nepal won the toss and first decided bowling. Nepal bowler out the Netherlands batsman in the third ball of the 1 over. This is the first achievement for Nepal bowler. This is the bad started for Netherlands batsman. Netherlands batsman makes 3 run in 2 over and 1 out. Once time again Nepal bowler out the Netherlands batsman in the last ball of the 6 over. This is the second achievement for Nepal team. Netherlands batsman makes 28 run in 10 over and 2 outs. Netherlands batsman are not working hard and struggle and can not make run. Netherlands batsman makes 137 run in 39 over and 10 outs. This is the target for Nepal batsman. This is the easy target for Nepal batsman. Nepal batsman can complete this target and won the match.

I think there is nothing to be surprised because results we same as we expect and to be honest the way Nepal improved thier cricket should be appreciable and especially thier bowling side has much more potential to dethroned any quality batters or team and I am sure if they make some constructive changes in thier batting line-up soon they will be on the list of top sides of the tournament. Anyway if we have a look at current score board Netherlands played much bad compared to thier cricket world standard but it's ok up and down are part of any teams journey. While thier opponent nepal completely shift dominance toward them from start especially after dismissal of this first player and chase down the required target before 16th over

Nepal wonderful performance in match against Netherlands and winning it by 9 wickets. Its a huge victory for Nepal team. Kushal Bhurtel from Nepal take important wickets 4/20 and all out Netherlands in just 137 runs. Anil Kumar Sah brilliant batting performance scored 57 runs unbeaten and win it by easily for his team.

I agree with you. Nepal played well against Netherlands in yesterday match. It was impressive and not unexpected because Nepal has been doing well lately. Their bowling has improved a lot which is good. They can challenge good batters and teams. If they make some changes in their batting order Nepal could become one of the best teams in the tournament.
On the other hand Netherlands didn't play well. But Nepal did a great job of chasing the target quickly and showed their strength. Nepal's performance was excellent and they are a team to keep an eye on in the tournament.

If cricket is not played by the local players of a country then the game of cricket is not very attractive. We are seeing more of this practice in some countries in recent times. I have mentioned earlier where I felt that the ICC may have continued such an effort as countries that did not like cricket but they became enthusiastic about cricket. I am very optimistic about some of the new teams, Nepal being one of them. Who has improved a lot in cricket in a short period of time. If they participate in the World Cup, they will gain more experience and their cricket will improve.

This is why I am supporting teams such as Nepal and Namibia. They have 100% native squad, unlike the case with the United Arab Emirates or the United States. But the root cause is the stupid eligibility criteria that was enforced by the ICC. Anyone with a visiting visa can represent any country, despite having no family connection or personal attachment. And this has seen more deserving countries struggling to win matches, while teams that are entirely comprised of foreigners are now dominating associate cricket.

Canada cricket team came to visit Nepal to play a three-match ODI series.This ODI series was not pleasant at all for Team Canada as they were whitewashed by Nepal in this ODI series. The second ODI of this series was very exciting for me as Canada batted first and scored 285 runs but Nepal won the match by four wickets. Nepal cricket team is gradually making their progress. Initially when Nepal came to cricket they often lost to all the teams but now they have become a bit stronger due to which they are winning against many teams. Nepali cricket team needs to play regular series against different strong teams to progress further and their team players to become experienced.

I am pretty surprised that ICC did not do anything about it. About the foreign players playing in the national squad of another country. And I absolutely do not understand how that makes sense. Right now there are a lot of teams that play foreign players in the national squad. And that is the story for a lot of associate teams to be honest. I do not think us supporting a certain team is going to do anything in this matter. I think ICC will need to have taken bold steps against these things. I am actually pretty surprised that there are rules for almost everything when the game is played on the phone but on the field there are very little terms and conditions.

You were right thinking what Nazarland is doing Netherland has lost the match. This was a low score match and Nepal team shocked Netherlands team and Netherlands all team out on 137 runs . Nepal team won the match by 8 wickets.

This was bowling friendly pitch and bowlers played very well on this pitch.K. Bhurtel took 4 wickets by giving 20 runs in 7 overs and he also made a score for his team and was awarded as a player of the match. Rajbanshi  also took 2 wickets by giving 32  runs in 10 overs and he performed an excellent bowling .From Netherlands batting side no one player paly well.

It must be admitted that Anil Shah and Asif's excellent batting played a huge role in Nepal's victory. These 2 great batsmen were able to easily meet the low score target given by the Netherlands in 15.2 overs. In this match, the players of Nepal team not only in batting but also in bowling were their impressive performance. The bowlers of the Nepal team also played a very strong role. The bowling of the Nepal team bowlers was so strong, due to which the Netherlands team batsmen failed to score big. In this match, the batsmen of the Netherlands team were under pressure from the bowlers of the Nepal team. Kushal Bhurtel performed the best in the bowling field in the Nepal team. His bowling of 7 overs forced four wickets of the Netherlands team to leave the crease.

Nepal team is much better then Netherlands that why Nepal won that match 9 wickets. Nepal team chase down the target easily 141 runs in loss of 1 wicket in just 15.2 overs. The Player of the Match is Kushal Bhurtel from Nepal for his all round performance in bowling they picked 4 wickets by giving 20 runa in 7 overs. Kushal Bhurtel also batting well scored 28 runs from just 11 balls and win match with huge wickets.

At least on paper, Netherlands is supposed to be stronger. They are widely regarded as the strongest associate side. And they were the only associate nation to qualify for the 2023 ODI World Cup (and then went on to defeat South Africa and Bangladesh during the tournament). Also, they have most of their players participating in either county cricket or other first class competitions around the world. On the other hand, Nepal is considerably weakened by the absence of Sandeep Lamichhane. They are a very young side and none of the players have first class experience.

The Netherlands might seem like a better team on paper but in cricket anything can happen. Nepal is a young team without much experience but they have shown they can be strong and determined. Even though Sandeep Lamichhane won't be playing this could give other players a chance to show what they can do. In cricket it's not good to underestimate the team that's considered the underdog because surprises can happen. The result of the match will depend on how well the players perform on the day not on their past experiences or qualifications.

I think Netherlands is stronger than Nepal on paper because they qualified for the recently concluded 2023 ODI World Cup. Where a strong team like the West Indies failed to qualify, the Netherlands qualified for the 2023 ODI World Cup. One of the best players in the Nepal team is Sandeep Lamishane who has gained a lot of experience by playing in various franchise leagues around the world. Although he has not been associated with the team recently, all the players in his team have played well. It is not that any team will win the game of cricket if it is strong on paper, the victory of the game of cricket depends on those who play well on the field. Nepal team may have proved that they are not strong on paper but they are strong on the field.

Namibia is also a strong associate team like Netherlands. We have seen Namibia in many ICC tournament's and todays game was supposed to be between two teams of equal level but it was Netherlands who dominated. It's mainly because of Aryan Dutt heroic bowling figures (9-034-6) that Namibia team were only able to score 123 runs and you can't avoid a defeat when you have that much total to defend.

[Nanga Parbat]

The match was very quick between Namibia and Netherlands. Namibia all team made only 123 score. And Northlands complete the run target in 124 overs. Executed excellent bowling in Northland's Lateral Dutt he expected very Excellent ,he claimed 6 wickets for 34 run in 9 overs and k klien claimed 2 wickets,these two player claimed total 8 wickets very nice .

Netherlands are a better team than Namibia and they were part of the 50 overs World Cup last year. You can easily expect them to win against a weaker team like Namibia. In a 50 overs game a target of less than 250 is not considered a decent target. Whereas Namibia was only able to get 123 runs on the scoreboard, it is not even 150 runs and I am sure the Netherlands have a good batting side they would have eventually got 124 runs in less overs. It is a complete domination game by the dutch team as per the scoreboard is concerned.

Netherlands won the toss and first decided bowling. Namibia batsman makes 9 run in 2 over and Netherlands no any wicket against Namibia batsman. This is the good started for Namibia batsman. Netherlands bowler out the Namibia batsman in the third ball of the 8 over. This is the first achievement for Netherlands team. Once time again Netherlands bowler out the Namibia batsman in the second ball of the 9 over. This is the second achievement for Netherlands team. Namibia batsman makes 30 run in 10 over and 3 outs. Namibia batsman makes 123 run in 35.1 over and 10 outs. This is the target for Netherlands batsman. This is the easy target for Netherlands batsman. Netherlands batsman can complete this target and won the match.
