Disappointment for Namibia, as they had to share points with Nepal. They are still at 33 points (US still ahead of them with 35). Today was a match where they could have got full points. Nepal was bowled out for a total of less than 200. Apart from Gyanendra Malla, none of the other Nepali batsmen could score more than 30. Can't blame the Nepalis as well, as they have a 100% native squad, and mostly made up of younger and inexperienced players. The captain himsef (Rohit Paudel) is just 20 years old (made his national debut at the age of 15 against MCC at Lord's).
Unfortunately that match has no result (due to rain).Namibia did good bowling against Nepal.Nepal didnt good batting as well they managed under 200 runs in the first 50 overs.But Namibia bowling attack was very hard.Nepal didnt do big score against Namibia.People expected that Namibia could get full point but now they had to share point with Nepal.Bad luck for Namibia.
There was no doubt that Namibia was going to win this game. It was a poor performance by both of them. They played almost the entire 50 overs of the match, and they only managed to score 197 runs, which is obviously not enough to win the game. However, they were saved by the rain, which prevented them from losing. In addition, it is also true that Napoleon does not have too much experience in the squad. In order for them to get good results, they will have to play a lot more cricket before they are actually able to generate some results.
It is my opinion that Namibia could have won this match. They certainly have bad luck on their side.
In ODI ranking New Zealand currently occupied top rank. Namibia and Nepal are down on points. Notably, Nepal is ranked 19th with 476 points in the ICC ODI rankings and Namibia is ranked 14th with 808 points. Since Namibia is ahead on points, naturally their winning chance would be higher especially when they will play against Nepal. Moreover, Nepal score in the last match was comparatively very less. As a result, their victory was almost certain. If rain don't interrupt the match then Namibia definitely could win the match.
