On Sunday, June 9, Team India defeated arch-rival Pakistan in a low-scoring match. Team India had challenged Pakistan to score 120 runs to win. But Team India’s bowlers defended 119 runs brilliantly and defeated Pakistan by 6 runs. This was Team India’s second consecutive win and Pakistan’s second consecutive loss. With this win, Team India has strengthened its claim for Super 8. After this, a match will be played between South Africa and Bangladesh on June 10. A big news has come out before this match.
A big update has come from the Nepal cricket team during the World Cup. The way has been cleared for Nepal’s 23-year-old bowler Sandeep Lamichhane to play in the T20 World Cup. Sandeep will be included in the Nepal team. Sandeep will play the last 2 matches for Nepal. The Nepal cricket team has given this information through a press release on social media. In such a situation, there is an atmosphere of happiness in the Nepal cricket team regarding captain Rohit Paudel. However, no information has been given by the ICC yet. According to the rules, changes in the World Cup team after a certain period require the approval of the ICC Technical Committee.
A few days ago, Sandeep Lamichhane was acquitted in a case. After this, America refused to give visa to Sandeep. Nepal’s first 2 matches have been organized in America. But now Nepal’s remaining matches will be played in West Indies. Therefore, Sandeep will not need a visa to play the remaining 2 matches. So now the Nepal cricket team has got a big relief.
Meanwhile, the Nepal cricket team is in Group D. This group includes a total of 5 teams including Nepal as well as South Africa, Bangladesh, Netherlands and Sri Lanka. Nepal lost the first match to Netherlands by 6 wickets. After this, Nepal’s second match will be against Sri Lanka on June 11. The remaining 2 matches will be played against South Africa and Bangladesh on June 14 and 16.
