[akkaps]

Another start-ish from QdK before being dismissed,
This will give a chance for Markram to work his way into form though

 

[Sammo360]

Another Joel Wilson shocker

 

[NYRB]

Sandeep makes a huge difference to this Nepal team. But Saffers have looked 2nd rate against their spinners today.

 

[NYRB]

We might be witnessing the birth of Nepal cricket on the global stage right here.

 

[NYRB]

Havent seen too much of Nepal play before but this Airee lad looks decent.

Sandeep, Bhurtel and Airee have caused nuisance.

 

[NYRB]

The only slight downside of Nepals performance today has been its fielding.

 

[smashxx]

I didn't even know Sandeep was out of prison until I saw he was bowling today

He was denied a visa to the US for the earlier games apparently.

 

[akkaps]

Havent seen too much of Nepal play before but this Airee lad looks decent.

Airee has six 6s in an over

[NYRB]

A Nepal win, means Nepal have a chance of qualifying on Sunday, with a game against Bangladesh with all stakes to play for.

Now this is where, if there a reserve day should be in place for a group stage game, is this kind of scenario.

 

[NYRB]

St Vincent looks like a nice holiday destination.

 

[NYRB]

There is a chance this game ends after the NZ v Uganda game, given this game started an hour later.

 

[NYRB]

Chinese cut from Bhurtel for 4. He will take them any way they can. Nepal will take them any way they can.

 

[NYRB]

Rabada with a dolly.

Can Nepal ride that luck?

You catch those 995 times out of 1000 if your a professional cricketer.

 

[NYRB]

And very next ball goes bang for 4. Punishment for KG!

 

[NYRB]

Bhurtel goes the ramp for 6 off Marco Jansen. Clever.

 

[akkaps]

In my opinion, the Nepal captain did well with bowling changes and at least giving everyone a go to see what will work and then focusing on Airee and Bhurtel who would take the wickets, Nepal still had other bowlers for the last few overs that they could go to as well

 

[akkaps]

Stupid shot selection

 

[icyflakes]

I'd be a liiiiiiitle bit concerned if I were SA right now.

 

[akkaps]

They need to get Stubbs and Markram bowling spin, will be able to take wickets from there.

 

[Cmarsh]

I'd be a liiiiiiitle bit concerned if I were SA right now.

Reckon Nepal might just about be favs from here.

 

[icyflakes]

Reckon Nepal might just about be favs from here.

100% they're right in front now. It's up to the Saffas to figure out their bowling now.

 

[akkaps]

Finally more spin.

 

[Gough]

Nepal look to be batting smart here.
