Nepal’s U19 women’s cricket team registered an impressive 92-run victory over Hong Kong in the ongoing U19 Women’s Belt and Road Series in China. The match was played at the Shaxi Town Cricket Centre in Taicang, where Nepal delivered a strong all-round performance to secure a comfortable win.
After losing the toss, Nepal were invited to bat first and managed to score 146 runs before being bowled out in 19.5 overs. Sonu Pakhrin emerged as the leading run-scorer for Nepal with an impressive 44 runs, while Sabitri Dhami made a valuable contribution of 36 runs to strengthen the team’s total.
Hong Kong’s Storm Parker was among the most effective bowlers, claiming three wickets and restricting Nepal from building an even bigger score.
In response, Hong Kong faced difficulties against Nepal’s bowling attack while chasing the target of 147 runs. The team failed to establish a strong partnership and eventually lost all its wickets for just 54 runs in 18 overs.
Wan Tung So and Man Kei Leung were the leading contributors for Hong Kong, scoring 12 runs each. However, their efforts were insufficient to challenge Nepal’s total.
Manisha Chaudhary and Rachana Chaudhary played important roles in Nepal’s victory, taking three wickets apiece and helping their team complete a convincing win.
