The first step of their new journey did not go as expected for
Nepal as they lost to
the Netherlands by 55 runs in the first ODI of the
two-match series despite being on top for a large part. The Netherlands were
bowled out for 189 after winning the toss and electing to bat. However, the
relatively meagre-looking target proved to be far out of the reach of the
visitors, who could only manage 134 despite being at 85/1 at one stage.
Nepal captain Paras Khadka led from the front with the ball,
picking up 4/26, and received support from Sompal Kami, who picked up three
wickets, even as Michael Rippon scored a handy 51 to lead the Netherlands
charge.
But their batsmen let Nepal down after Gyanendra Malla (51)
and Anil Sah (21) had added 58 runs for the first wicket. Barring the top four,
which included Khadka (12) and Dipendra Singh Airee (33), none of the Nepal
batsmen could get to double-digit scores.
That's something Nepal must address. The bowlers did
exceedingly well in their first outing in ODI cricket and will look to repeat
the performance before signing off.
For the Netherlands, the poor total came as a bit of a
surprise, given they are much ahead of Nepal in terms of experience. Barring
Rippon and Bas de Leede (30) not many batsmen could play a good hand, and that
could be a problem for the Netherlands in the upcoming tie.
Rippon starred with the ball as well, picking up 3/23, and
was assisted by Pieter Seelar, the captain, who picked up 3/20. Fred Klaassen
returned 3/30 as well.
So it's the batting that both teams will be concerned with as
they look to make a big statement in the last fixture.
Squads
The Netherlands: Pieter Seelaar (c), Wesley Barresi, Ben
Cooper, Bas de Leede, Scott Edwards, Fred Klaasen, Stephan Myburgh, Max O’Dowd,
Hidde Overdijk, Michael Rippon, Shane Snater, Daniel ter Braak, Paul van
Meekeren
Nepal: Paras Khadka (c), Aarif Sheikh, Dipendra Airee, Lalit
Bhandari, Shakti Gauchan, Karan KC, Subash Khakurel, Sandeep Lamichhane,
Gyanendra Malla, Rohit Kumar, Lalit Rajbanshi, Basant Regmi, Anil Sah, Sompal
Kami, Sharad Vesawkar
In Paras Khadka, they have an outstanding batsman and
captain, and in Sandeep Lamichhane, Nepal have a budding superstar, a teenaged
leg-spinner who has impressed everyone who has seen him.
But Nepal is a lot more than the two of them. There is a fair bit of experience in the ranks, with the likes of Shakti Gauchan, Basant Regmi, Sompal Kami, Sharad Vesawkar, Gyanendra Malla and others having served Nepal cricket well for long.
But Nepal is a lot more than the two of them. There is a fair bit of experience in the ranks, with the likes of Shakti Gauchan, Basant Regmi, Sompal Kami, Sharad Vesawkar, Gyanendra Malla and others having served Nepal cricket well for long.
What makes them exciting, though, is the fact
that they have shown excellent temperament to go with their skills. The
unbroken last-wicket stand of 51 runs between Karan KC and Lamichhane against
Canada, which took them to the qualifiers, was a sign of things to come, and
they have made a habit of winning close games, which has led to the ‘Cardiac
Kids’ epithet to be attached to the team.
But it’s not lost on Khadka, or the team, that having reached the ODI level, it’s time for Nepal to put up more such performances and build on their recent gains.
“We have always wanted to get to this point but the challenge is to keep on growing. Eight years ago, we were playing in ICC World Cricket League Division Five and now we are among the top 16 nations in the world, with ODI status guaranteed for the next four years,” he wrote on the International Cricket Council website.
Against the Netherlands, Nepal will back themselves to do well even though the home side have had the wood on the visitors in recent times. Their latest encounter, in a Twenty20 International at Lord’s, was loaded in favour of the Netherlands when rain spoilt the game, and at the ICC CWCQ 2018, the Netherlands won the seventh-place playoff in Kwekwe by 45 runs.
And if Nepal are experienced, the Netherlands side is even more so. Unlike Nepal, the Netherlands have played ODI cricket, 79 matches, starting as far back as in 1996 during the ICC Cricket World Cup.
As for players of class, Pieter Seelaar, the captain, Wesley Barresi, Stephan Myburgh, Max O’Dowd, Michael Rippon and Paul van Meekeren are about as good as they come, and will be gung-ho about making sure they assert their authority over the newcomers as well as possible.
It should be an excellent contest over two games, with both teams looking to strike first to get the upper hand.
