ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier: Nepal face uphill task against Kenya

• Need 183 runs in 20 overs

KATHMANDU, NOV 16 - Nepal have received a target of 183 runs in 20 overs in their second match against Kenya at the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier being played in Dubai on Saturday.

In a game being played at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai today, Nepal won the toss and elected to field first. Nepal i bowlers started off well picking up four wickets when Kenya had scored just 32 runs on the board.

However, the onslaught from RR Patel, who scored a 44-ball hundred, disturbed the rhythm of Nepal i bowlers as they ended up conceding 182 runs in the stipulated 20 overs.

Nepal i batsmen will have to start well to have any chances of overhauling the Kenyan total.

In a game played yesterday, Nepal had started their campaign with a comfortable 5 wicket win over Denmark.

Nepal will have to finish at the top six of the 16-nation tournament to secure their berth for the ICC Twenty 20 World Cup to be played in Bangladesh next year.
