Looking back, they’ve played against Pakistan three times before, winning one, losing one, and one match ending without a result due to rain in 2000.
The highlight was in 2002 when Nepal won against a strong Pakistan under-19 team. It was a 30-run victory, and Bardan Chalise was the hero of the day. But in 2016, things didn’t go well, and Nepal faced a 122-run loss.
Now, the focus is on the present. Pakistan has a strong bowling attack, and Nepal struggled against pace bowling in the past.
Key Players
The players to watch from Pakistan are Mohammad Zeeshan, a tall fast bowler, and Shahzaib Khan, a left-handed opener. The Nepalese team is hoping to handle the Pakistani pacers well and put pressure on them, especially if their top-order batsmen step up.
The memories of past matches, the hopes of the nation, and the excitement in the air – it all adds up to a crucial moment for Nepal under-19. Fans are eager, players are ready, and the match at 1:45 PM (NST) promises to be a battle full of emotions, determination, and the spirit of Nepalese cricket. The wish is for Nepal under-19 to shine and make their mark in the ICC under-19 Cricket World Cup 2024.
