Nepal and Namibia faced each other for the second time in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 being played in the Netherlands on Monday, with Nepal winning the toss and electing to field first. Nepal’s bowling attack began quite formidably, with opening batters Michael van Lingen and Malan Kruger bowled out for 5 and 15 respectively. Coming in at third man, Jan Frylinck saved the day with an impressive 100 runs from 149 balls. Louren Steenkamp also added another international 50 to his tally, scoring 59 runs from 87 balls as Namibia eventually ended their innings on 211/7. Nepal’s batters were to prove just as challenging, Aasif Sheikh contributing 45, Rohit Paudel 41, and Aarif Sheikh 38 as the team fought to the end, eventually coming up just short on 208/6.
