Nepal Under-19s v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Papua-New-Guinea-c41002 Under-19s – ICC Under-19 World Cup 2012 – (13th Place Play-off) – Match Update
A 6-wicket haul by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-John-Parnell-Burge-c81760 Oval in Brisbane
today on August 23.
The Papua New Guinea U-19s won the toss and elected to bat first, but were unable to do justice to their decision. A 26-run stand between openers Lega Siaka (18) and Dogodo Bau (13) remained the highest partnership for the team, and following Siaka’s departure
(dismissed, lbw, by Pradeep Airee), the rest of the batting order failed to hold their own.
Sese Bau top-scored for the side with 21, but the effort was too meagre to have any effect. Prithu Baskota (5-0-14-2) polished off the remainder of the top order, after which Player of the Match Vishwakarma (6.1-4-4-6) went on a rampage. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Charles-Amini-c49702 (19)
was the only other batsman who managed to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adrian-Roger-Kirshaw-Pierson-c42135 it out at the crease long enough to reach double-digits – the remainder of the batting order collapsed after single figure contributions.
Skipper Christopher http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kent-c802 (1), Raymond Haoda (1), and Nigel Boge (0) were all dismissed on paltry scores by the left-arm spinner, leaving their team at 79 for 6 by the 28th over. Amini and Chad Soper (2) were both sent packing in the 30th
over, and with the dismissals of Albert Geita (2) and Alei Nao (1), the Papua New Guinea U-19s found themselves all out at a dismal score of 89 by the 34th over.
Chasing 90, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nepal-c2965 U-19s were hampered by Geita (5-0-25-3) to an extent, but managed to reach the target fairly easily, with 6 wickets and 187 balls remaining.
Opener Subash Khakurel was sent back to the pavilion on duck, by Haoda in the 3rd over, and skipper Baskota consumed 13 deliveries for a mere 6-run contribution. However, the efforts of Sagar Pun (20) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Naresh-c78656 Budayair (27), followed by Rajesh
Pulami Magar (18*) and Airee (12*) enabled the Nepal U-19s to bag a 6-wicket victory, and earn 13th place in the tournament.
