Nepal lifts ACC U-19 Cup


POST REPORT

KATHMANDU, Nov 19 - Nepal lifted the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Under-19 Cup cricket tournament for the third successive time defeating Malaysia by seven wickets in the final played at the TU Cricket Ground, Kirtipur today.
With the victory, Nepal qualified for the Youth World Cup 2006 scheduled for February next year in Sri Lanka. It is the fourth occasion that Nepal has qualified for the age-group world cup having played it in 2000, 2002 and 2004.

It was an easy victory for Nepal after bowling out Malaysia for a paltry 83 runs in 25.5 overs. Nepal reached the target in 25.3 overs losing three wickets in front of a jam-packed crowd waving national flags and cheering every ball.

"We've proved that we are the best among the emerging nations," an ecstatic coach Roy Dias said after the victory. "I don't think you can ask any more from the cricketers and the coach," Dias, who coached the team for all three U-19 title victories, added.

Nepal won the event in 2001 at the same venue under Binod Das' captaincy and defended the title in 2003 in Karachi, Pakistan under Shakti Gauchan. On both occasions, Malaysia was in the final against Nepal. Nepal also reached the final in 1999 but lost to Bangladesh, which now is a Test nation.

Vice-captain Paras Khadka hit a six over mid-wicket boundary when three runs were required for victory to prove Nepal's domination in the match. He scored the highest in the match hitting 21 runs in 22 balls. He partnered Sarad Vesawkar, who scored 152 runs in the tournament, for an unbeaten 35 runs. Sarad

made 18.

Captain Kaniska Chaugai scored 20 before being bowled by Esraffiq Azis while Yashwant Subedi (11) and Gyanendra Malla (6) were out

cheaply.

Defending a low total, Malaysian bowlers made it difficult for Nepali batsmen to score. Manrick Singh and spinner Azis, who shared the new ball, bowled brilliantly. Azis took two wickets giving away 21 runs in 10 overs.

Earlier, Nepal won the toss and elected to field first. Nepali fast bowlers utilized the early moisture in the pitch to put Malaysians on the back foot. Bantu Bataju bowled Malaysian captain Suhan Kumar Algaratnam off the fifth ball of the innings to give the home team a great start.

Bantu, bowling at his best, picked up four other wickets. His 5/28 wrecked the Malaysian innings and it went down to 55/7 in 14.2 overs. His new ball partner Amrit Bhattarai too chipped in with two wickets to take his tournament tally to 13 wickets. Bantu was awarded the man of the final.

Spinner Raj Shrestha took two last wickets while Paras took one to end the Malaysian innings in less than two hours. The top scorers for Malaysia were Faris Almas-Lee and Manrick who each made 13 runs. It was the lowest total of the final in the history of the event.

"This is a great victory," captain Kaniska Chaugai said. "It was a laudable performance from the bowlers. Now I look forward to performing well in Sri Lanka next year."

नेपाललाई तेस्रोपटक एसिया कप
युवा विश्वकपमा लगातार छनोट


राजेन्द्र ज्ञवाली

काठमाडौं, मंसिर ४ - म्यान अफ दी म्याच बन्टु बटाजुको पाँच विकेट मद्दतले नेपालले शनिबार मलेसियालाई सात विकेटले हराउँदै लगातार तेस्रोपटक यू १९ एसिया कप उपाधि हात पारेको छ ।
यो जितले नेपाल आगामी वर्ष श्रीलंकामा हुने युवा विश्वकपका लागि छनोटसमेत भएको छ । यसअघि सन् २००१ मा नेपालमै र २००३ मा पाकिस्तानमा भएको एसिया कपमा पनि मलेसियालाई नै पराजित गर्दै उपाधि हात पारेको थियो ।

कीर्तिपुरस्थित अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय क्रिकेट मैदानमा भएको खेलमा टस जितेर मलेसियालाई ८३ रनमा खुम्च्याएको नेपालले विजय लक्ष्यलाई तीन विकेटको नोक्सानमा २५ दशमलव ३ ओभरमा प्राप्त गरेको थियो । पारस खडकाले इनिङको २६औं ओभरको तेस्रो बललाई लङअनमा विजयी सट छक्का हानेपछि २० हजारको हाराहारीमा उपस्थित दर्शकले खुसियाली मनाएका थिए ।

Kantipur CONTD...........

निर्धारित ५० ओभरमा ८४ रनको सामान्य विजयी लक्ष्यलाई पछ्याउन ओर्लेको नेपाली टिमका कप्तान कनिष्क चौगाई र यशवन्त सुवेदीको प्रारम्भिक जोडीले २३ रन जोडेको थियो । ११ रनमा रहेका सुवेदी इस्ज्राफिक अब अजिजको बलमा मिड अफमा कस्मान मोहम्मद कादेरीबाट समातिएपछि पहिलो विकेट गुमेको थियो । उनको स्थानमा आएका शरद भेषवाकरले कप्तान चौगाईसँग मिलेर १८ रन जोडेपछि चौगाई पनि अजिजकै सिकार भएका थिए । उनले ३४ बलको सामना गर्दै २० रन बनाए ।

ज्ञानेन्द्र मल्ल र भेषवाकरले योगफललाई ५२ रनमा पुर्?याएपछि मल्ल ६ रनको योगफलमा सुक्री अब्दुल रहिमको बलमा फरवर्ड सर्टलेगमा रहेका मोहम्मद सफिकबाट क्याच भएका थिए । त्यसपछि भने भेषवाकरले पारस खडकासँग मिलेर सावधानीपूर्वक खेल्दै टिमलाई विजय दिलाए । भेषवाकर ४६ बलमा १८ रन बनाएर अविजित रहे भने खडकाले २२ बलमा नट आउट रहँदै २१ रनको योगदान दिए । मलेसियाका तर्फबाट अजिजले दुई एवं अब्दुल रहिमले एक विकेट लिए ।

जितपछि पत्रकारहरूसँग कुरा गर्दै चौगाईले टिमले प्रदर्शनलाई विश्वकपमा पनि जारी राख्ने बताए । 'लगातार तेस्रोपटक उपाधि हात पार्नु कम खुसीको कुरा होइन,' उनले भने- 'मलेसियालाई कम रनमा आउट गरेपछि हामीलाई सजिलो भएको हो ।'

कप्तान चौगाईले टस जितेर ओसिलो पिचमा क्ष्ाेत्ररक्षण रोजेका थिए । योगफल शून्यमै रहेका बेला बटाजुले प्रारम्भिक ब्याट्सम्यान सुहन कुमारलाई बोल्ड गर्दै कप्तानको निर्णय ठीक सावित गरेका थिए । सुहनको स्थानमा अब्दुल अजिजले फरिज अलमस लीसँग मिलेर योगफललाई २१ मा पुर्?याएपछि ली पनि १३ रनमा बटाजुकै एलबीडब्लूको धरापमा परे । त्यसपछि मलेसियाको विकेट नियमित रूपमा खस्न थाल्यो । अन्तिम विकेटका रूपमा सफिक मोहम्मद र मोहम्मद कादरीले १३ रन जोडेर केही आशा जगाए पनि राज श्रेष्ठको बलमा सफिक बोल्ड भएपछि मलेसियाको पूरा टिम २५ दशमलव ५ ओभरमा ८३ रनमै सीमित भएको थियो ।

बटाजुले ८ ओभर बलिङ गर्दै ३ ओभर मेडन राखेर २९ रनको बदला ५ विकेट लिए भने अमृत भट्टराईले १० ओभरको स्पेलमा ३ ओभर मेडन राख्दै ३६ रनका बदला दुई ब्याट्सम्यानलाई मैदान बाहिराए । स्पिनर राज श्रेष्ठले २ दशमलव ५ ओभरमा ३ रन खर्चेर दुई ब्याट्सम्यानलाई पेवेलियनतर्फ घुमाएका थिए ।

बटाजुले टस जित्नु नै खेलको महत्त्वपूर्ण पक्ष भएको बताए । 'टस जितेपछि योजनाअनुरूप हिँड्न पायौं,' खुसी व्यक्त गर्दै उनले भने- 'एसिया कपमा ५ विकेट लिएर म्यान अफ दी म्याच हुनु ठूलो उपलब्धि हो ।' अबको आफ्नो लक्ष्य राष्ट्रिय टिममा आउनु रहेको उनले बताए ।
