First Innings Recap
The Bready Cricket Club ground in Northern http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Under-19 World Cup Qualifying match, played on Wednesday, August 03,
2011.
The conditions were tough for the batting side, given the cloud cover. Therefore, the Canadian skipper, Kesavan Juvarajan, choose to field first after winning the toss.
Answering their captain’s call, the Canadian bowlers started off the show on a high, making the new ball talk with seam and swing. Maintaining a flawless line and length, the Canadians gave Nepali batsmen no chance to settle down at the crease.
Jobanjot Singh began the proceedings with a bang, removing the Nepali opener Fajlur Rahman in the fourth over of the innings. Rahamn could manage to score only three runs before being trapped in front of the wickets.
Three overs later, Singh once again picked up a wicket, sending http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Naresh-c78656 Budayair back to the tent when he was batting at six.
The next batman, Rajesh Pulami Magar, also failed to lift his side and lost his wicket to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Trevor-Manoosingh-c94366 after contributing just nine runs. The opening batsman, Sagar Pun, played 59 balls for his 15 before becoming the next victim of Manoosingh’s superb
bowling.
Baskota and Pradeep Airee tried to bring things back to order but their short innings fell short of the goal. Baskota collected 10 runs, while Airee top-scored the innings by gathering 22 before his dismissal.
It was such a miserable performance by the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nepal-c2965 Under-19s that only four of them were able to reach double figures. Despite the 24 extra runs by the Canadian bowlers, the whole Nepali side went all out on 106 after 42.5 overs.
From the Canadian bowling department, Manoosingh and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kesavan-Juvarajan-c71036 dominated the event, grabbing three wickets each. While Ntish Kumar and Singh claimed two wickets apiece; Manny Aulakh emerged as the most expensive fellow, conceding 32 runs in eight
overs.
To seal the victory, the Canadians needed 107 at scoring rate of little over-two run per over.
