Nepal A displayed impressive batting prowess, setting a challenging target of 214 runs for Ireland Wolves in their T20 practice match. Despite losing the toss and being forced to bat first, Nepal A amassed 213 runs with a loss of 7 wickets over their allotted 20 overs.
Aarif Sheikh led the charge with an outstanding unbeaten innings of 93 runs off just 48 balls. His powerful hitting and intelligent shot selection were pivotal in Nepal A’s strong total. Rashid Khan (24), Basir Ahmad (19), Kamal Singh Airee (19), Pawan Sarraf (13), and captain Binod Bhandari (11) also made valuable contributions to the scoreboard.
Ireland Wolves bowlers Fionna Hand (2 wickets), Liam McCarthy, Matthew Foster, Gareth Delany, and Gavin Hoey (1 wicket each) will face a tough task in their chase. They must deliver exceptional bowling and fielding performances to restrict Nepal A and achieve this daunting target.
