Century boy Faizul Rehaman

 Nepalese batasman today started well as faizul Rehaman and  Subash Khakurel gave a brilliant opening scoring 81 before the latter fell to M Wickremaratne for 27 off 55 balls. Faizrul then partnered Sagar Pun for a century partnership. The duo who had partnered unbeaten 80 a day earlier against UAE, scored freely to add 110. Faizrul was given leg-before at 101 . The Nepal batting sprit didn’t stop only at that as Pradeep Airee joined Sagar and they accelerated the scoring rate. Their partnership counted for 127 runs, the second best partnership after 137 by Yashwant Subedi and Kaniskha in 2003 against Maldives, and came in no time. Sagar was bowled out for 83 off 80 balls by Umair Naeem and Pradeep soon followed after scoring 86 off just 40 balls with six fours and five sixes. Naresh Budayer (37 off 17 balls) and captain Prithu Baskota (22 off 9 balls) finished the overs with a huge total. The total score made by Nepal was same as it was scored against maldieves in the same tournament held in 2003 in Karachi, Pakistan.

In reply, Oman lost wickets frequently. Rahul BK took three for 14 and Avinash Karn grabbed two. They lost three wickets as run-outs – thanks to Krishna Karki. Prithu Baskota and Bhuwan Karki claimed a wicket each and get all out at 87. Nepali team will now rest on Thursday and keep physically and mentally ready for the upcoming match against one of the strongest team of the tournament Afghanistan. Lets wait and see whether Nepal will keep its sprit against Afganistan or not. Best wishes to prithu and his team.
