Nepal cruise to nine wicket win over Canada

Nepal made no race of their ICC Under-19 World Cup Plate Championship match against Canada at Colin Maiden Park in Auckland today.

Canada won the toss and batted first, but were rarely comfortable against the useful Nepal attack.

Only Jonathan Roberts batted with any confidence while scoring 47 off 89 balls in the middle-order for Canada as they were dismissed for 102 after 46.4 overs.

Nepal captain Binod Das took three for 13 off 8.4 overs while Basant Regmi took three for 10 off 10 overs.

Yashwant Subedi led the Nepal chase for the target of 103, scoring 41 not out off 57 balls while Bardan Chalise was 32 not out when the winning runs were scored in the 23rd over to give Nepal a nine wicket win.
