At Kilat Club, Nepal beat debutants Bermuda by 188 runs.
Nepal won the toss and stacked up an impressive 256 for 8 in 50 overs
thanks to captain Paresh Khadka's 63 and 37 from Gyanendra Malla.
Malachi Jones, who played for the senior team during the ICC Cricket
World Cup in the West Indies last year, took three wickets. Bermuda's
batting, however, could not make the grade and they were all out for 38
in inside 25 overs. Raj Shrestha and Amrit Bhattarai took three wickets
each and Khadka chipped in with 2 for 12 www.cricinfo.com BUT we r in group of Australia, Sri Lanka and Namibia. Lets hope, we can beat Australia.........:-) Good Luck Nepal

Sad News Nepal lost to Zimbabwe (warm Up) Source: http://content-www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/336749.html?CMP=OTC-RSS
After being shot out for 57 by Australia on Tuesday, the Zimbabwe batting put up a much-improved show as they successfully chased down Nepal's 203 at the Royal Military College.
After a top-order wobble, Tinashe Chimbambo guided them to victory with
an unbeaten run-a-ball 49. Nepal captain Paras Khadka impressed,
finishing with 4 for 34, but it wasn't enough to prevent the loss.
Earlier, after choosing to bat, Nepal were indebted to Gyanendra
Malla's brisk 85 for guiding them to a competitive total.

Yes bro, Nepal lost to Zimbabwe but I think it was great fight from Nepali side. Gyanedra scored 83 and total score was plus 200. Zimbabwe were almost defeated they could only win in 49th over. Of course we lost but it was a wonderful performance by Nepali colts....... GO NEPAL GO, ....GO NEPAL GO

Giant-killers Nepal aims to upset Australia and Sri Lanka in Group C Wednesday, February 06, 2008 3:45:07 PMNepal
will rely heavily on its giant-killing abilities when it faces two-time
former champion Australia and Sri Lanka in an intriguing Group C of
this month’s ICC U/19 Cricket World Cup in Penang.
Nepal has
beaten five Full Members at the last three ICC U/19 Cricket World Cups
and finished ninth at the 2006 event, ahead of New Zealand and South
Africa, both of which it defeated.
In contrast, Australia,
winners in 1988 and 2002, had a disappointing sign off to its 2006
campaign when it crashed to a heavy 163-run defeat against eventual
winners Pakistan in the semi-finals. Sri Lanka was also left licking
its wounds in its backyard two years ago when it lost to Bangladesh by
98 runs in the fifth place play-off final.
With two places up
for grabs in the Super League from a group that also includes Namibia,
the second game will be crucial as Nepal will face Sri Lanka at the
Penang Sports Club on 18 February. On the following day, Nepal will
then go head-to-head with Australia before curtains will fall on the
group matches with the feature game between Australia and Sri Lanka.
Nepal,
coached by former Sri Lanka opener Roy Dias, qualified for the
tournament from the Asia region after finishing unbeaten in the 10-team
tournament in Kuala Lumpur. It is coming to the tournament well
prepared as its boys have been together for more than four months,
playing matches and training hard before winding up with a three-match
series against the Bangladesh U/19 team.
With a balanced team
with a right mix of experience and raw talent, Nepal hopes to leave
another mark on the tournament like it did in the 2002 when it defeated
Pakistan and Bangladesh before losing to Zimbabwe in the plate final
and again in 2006 when it finished ahead of New Zealand and South
Africa.
Key players in the team are skipper Paras Khadka, Gyanendra Malla and B.K. Rahul.
Making
his third ICC U/19 Cricket World Cup appearance, Paras is greatly
experienced and probably country’s best all-rounder. He is also an
intelligent player and leads the team from the front.
Gyanendra
is also an accomplished batsman who adapts well to match conditions
while left-arm spinner Rahul, the find of the year, played in the ACC
T20 Cup in Kuwait last October. For his age he showed a lot of maturity
by adapting well to match conditions.
Australia’s teenagers,
despite their setback in the last competition, will be fired-up to
match the achievements of their senior team which completed a hat-trick
of ICC Cricket World Cups in the West Indies last year.
Though
Pakistan has the opportunity to make it three-in-a-row at the U/19
level, Australia also has the chance to pocket its third title. Its
team is packed with talent.
From New South Wales comes Phillip
Hughes, the left-handed opener who scored 752 runs at 35.81 with four
fifties and one century in first-class cricket. Hughes had also scored
387 runs at 96.75 from five matches in the home series against Pakistan
U/19 in Brisbane early last year.
Michael Hills is the find
from the recent U/19 camp at Hobart while Kumar Sarna is a dashing
opener who has enjoyed great performances at all levels that he has
played. All-rounder Jeremy Smith is strong and fast with the ball and
able to swing it either way.
As part of the tournament
built-up, the Aussies played Pakistan on a home and away basis with
contrasting results. It won the home series 3-2 but suffered a 5-0
drubbing on its return tour last October.
Australia also faced
Malaysia over two games and then wrapped up a training camp with two
trial games against New Zealand last month.
Sri Lanka, despite
a proud record at senior level, has struggled at this level and its
best performance was eight years ago when it finished runners-up to
India.
This time it comes just as well prepared as its rivals.
Following a squad selection in mid-October, the players took to the
nets that were held four days a week under coach Roger Wijesooriya.
The
young team played a tri-nation series against England and Bangladesh in
July and toured Bangladesh last December for five one-day matches which
it lost 3-2. Shortly before it left for Malaysia, Sri Lanka gave final
touchup to its preparations by playing a tri-series where it finished
runners-up to Pakistan with England being the third team.
The
key players in the Sri Lankan line-up include Ashan Priyanjan, Sacith
Pathirana, Tissara Perera and Roshen Silva. They have proved consistent
in their performances and have gained lot in exposure and experience
both locally and internationally.
Namibia, the fourth team in Group C, will arrive in Malaysia with the potential and promise to cause a few surprises.
In
their build-up to the tournament, Namibia had several training camps in
the later part of last year and had two more camps this year, including
playing against senior clubs as warm-up matches.
The Namibian
teenagers to watch are team captain Dawid Botha, Sean Silver, Raymond
van Schoor and L.P.van der Westhuizen who all have played in the ICC
Intercontinental Cup.
Namibia's road to Malaysia started with
the team going to Benoni, South Africa last August for the Africa U/19
Qualifier. In the first game, Namibia suffered a six-wicket defeat to
Kenya before it bounced back to beat Zambia and Ghana to finish second
in its pool. In the semi-finals, Namibia defeated Uganda by nine
wickets before beating Kenya by 39 runs in the final.
In the
semi-finals, Namibia beat Uganda by eight wickets and then upset Kenya
by 40 runs in the final to book a place in a tournament considered as
cricket’s finishing school.
