Nepal sets sights on away triumph in Zimbabwe

Nepal sets sights on away triumph in Zimbabwe

Nepal’s cricket team is gearing up for an important journey as they travel to Zimbabwe with the ultimate goal of qualifying for the Cricket World Cup. After a challenging period during the CWC League 2, where they struggled to find their form and establish a consistent lineup, Nepal’s fortunes changed with the appointment of Monty Desai as head coach in February.

 

With a third of their League 2 campaign remaining, Nepal needed to secure at least 10 wins from their final 12 matches to secure a top-three spot and guarantee a place in the upcoming Qualifier. Against all odds, and with the support of an enthusiastic Kathmandu crowd, they managed to win 11 of their last 12 matches, including a thrilling victory against UAE decided by the DLS method on the final day of the competition.

 

This turnaround proved to be a significant moment for Nepal. By pushing Namibia down to fourth place and sending them to the Qualifier Play-off, Nepal ensured their own qualification. Unfortunately for Namibia, they were unable to secure a spot in Zimbabwe, with USA and UAE emerging as the successful teams. While the outcome for Nepal in the same situation remains uncertain, young wicket-keeper batter Aasif Sheikh believes that their recent success bodes well for the future.

 

Sheikh expressed his disbelief at qualifying for the tournament and acknowledged that winning 11 out of 12 matches was unexpected. He credited the team’s collective effort and emphasized their excitement for the upcoming qualifiers. Reflecting on their performance in the close matches during the League 2, Sheikh mentioned that those experiences would boost their confidence going forward.

 

The support Nepal received from their millions of fans played a crucial role in their successful campaign. Although they faced challenges during a recent preparation tour in South Africa, Sheikh remains confident that their style of cricket can thrive even in foreign conditions. While they will miss the local crowd’s support, he is confident that the Nepali people will be cheering for them from home, no matter where they play.

 

As Nepal looks ahead to the qualifiers, Aasif Sheikh holds firm in his belief that playing quality cricket will be the key to their success. He recognizes that each match presents a new opportunity, and if the team can deliver their best performance on the day, they have a strong chance of securing victory. Sheikh emphasizes the importance of maintaining self-belief and confidence in their abilities as they step onto the field. With a determined mindset and a collective goal to make their country proud, Nepal’s cricket team is eager to showcase their skills and leave a lasting impression in the upcoming qualifiers.

 

Nepal’s journey to qualify for the Cricket World Cup has been a rollercoaster ride, marked by challenges, determination, and unwavering support from their fans. With their recent success, they have demonstrated their potential and set their sights on achieving even greater heights. As they embark on this crucial stage of their cricketing journey in Zimbabwe, Nepal’s players are ready to give their all and play their best cricket to secure their place in the World Cup. The cricketing world awaits their performance with anticipation, as they aim to make history for their nation.
