Kathmandu, December 12
Nepal were humbled by India in their third group game of the U19 Asia Cup being held in Dubai.
This loss means Nepal have ended the tournament winless having lost to Pakistan and Afghanistan on December 8 and December 10 respectively.
Asked to bat first, Nepal were bowled out for only 52 runs as the Indian bowlers decimated the Nepali batters. In reply, India chased down the total in 7. 1 overs.
Nepal’s batting has been poor throughout the tournament. The team only made 152 against Pakistan which they chased easily in the 27th over. Afghanistan also proved to be too good for Nepal as they bowled them out for 188 winning the match by 73 runs.
The team will now take part in the 2024 U19 World Cup where the team has been drawn against New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
