Nepal gets third position in ICC world T20 qualifiers

Kathmandu, Dec 1 –  Nepal gets at third position in the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifiers with a five-wicket win over the host UAE at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

 

Nepal required 11 runs from the last over and Vesawkar hammered two sixes off the first and second balls to surpass the 132-run target with four balls to spare.

 

 Vesawkar, who came in 15.5 overs at number five, topscored with a quickfire 43 off 29. He smashed three sixes and three fours during his unbeaten knock and finally made Nepal proud.

 

Both Nepal and the UAE have already qualified for the World T20 to be held next year in Bangladesh. In the semifinals, Nepal was defeated by Afghanistan and the UAE by Ireland.
