Twitter Reacts As Nepal Defend 117 Runs In The T20 World Cup Qualifiers Match Against Oman

On Friday, February 18, the Nepal cricket team stunned Oman at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground by defending a low score of 117 runs at the T20 World Cup qualifiers 2022. The fact that wicketkeeper Naseem Khushi was the only batter from Oman’s team to reach double digits, demonstrates Nepal’s bowling dominance in the match.

Earlier, Oman won the toss and opted to field. For Nepal, openers Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh scored 5 runs and 4 runs respectively. Khawar Ali caught both of them off Bilal Khan’s bowling.

Dipendra Singh Airee, who has been in good form, was dismissed by Oman captain Zeeshan Maqsood today for 11 runs. With 38 runs, Aarif Sheikh was Nepal’s top scorer. Lokesh Bam and captain Sandeep Lamichhane made some useful contributions to help Nepal post 117 runs on the board.

In reply, Oman never looked like chasing down the total. Nepal bowlers racked up some good pace to reduce the hosts to 35/6. Naseem Khushi played a valiant knock of 24 but lacked support from the other end as they fell 39 runs short.

Kamal Singh Airee was the pick of the bowlers, scalping three wickets while Lamichhane and Sandeep Singh Airee picked up two wickets apiece.

Here is how Twitter reacted to the victory:

A Quadrangular T20I series was recently held between Ireland, Nepal, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman. On 14th February, Ireland faced Nepal at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground. During the match, Nepal wicketkeeper Aasif Sheikh’s gesture caught the attention of cricket fans.

Sheikh chose not to run out Ireland’s Andy McBrine, who fell on the ground after colliding with Nepal pacer Kamal Singh Airee, while attempting to take a single in the 19th over. Aasif was praised by the on-air commentators for maintaining the spirit of cricket.
