Canada vs Nepal
Nepal team has been in bad form for a long time. I thought Nepal would do well in today's match against Canada. But the team could not play well against Canada. Team Canada batted first and scored a massive total of 187. I don't think Nepal will win by batting at such a big target.
Ravinderpal Singh played an excellent innings of 41 runs off just 17 balls. Nicholas Kirton also scored 52 runs. Canada's batsmen batted better than I expected. On the other hand, Nepal's captain used his 7 bowlers, but none of them bowled well.
Nepal's two openers collected only 7 runs in 3 overs. The Nepal team needs to collect 177 runs to win in 102 balls.
Nepal won the toss and decided to bowl first that a bad decision. Canada batted well and scored a huge total of 183 runs in a loss of 7 wickets in the first innings. Nepal current score is 81 runs in a loss of 4 wickets. Nepal needs 103 runs from 42 balls to win this match from Candia. it's very difficult for Nopal to chase down this huge total because they lost 4 quick wickets in low runs and they need more runs which seems like very difficult for now. Candia is now winning position and they will easily win this match if they locked one or two more wickets.
Nepal's decision to bowl first was not correct. As Nepal's bowlers are not in good form, and there are no experienced bowlers in the squad. So Nepal needed to bat first. Although the batting of Nepal's batsmen was erratic, Nepal's squad had several talented batsmen.
However, after giving Canada a big target of 184, I was confident that Canada would win the match easily. And so it happened. Canada's bowlers also bowled very well. As a result, Nepal's innings stopped at just 120 runs. Canada won today by a huge margin of 63 runs. Dilon Heyliger bowled well today, picking up 4 wickets in 2.3 overs.
