This Leopard guy from NZ looks so similar in batting style to Williamson. Have NZ unearthed another gem from their u19 ranks?
 
Lomror gets LEopard finally, The Bangladeshis shouting New Zealand are all quiet now.
 
can we please get nepal and afghanistan into a proper development program and have them become regular odi teams in 10-20 years at least? im so sick of seeing the same 8 teams everyday
 
Unlike senior team, juniors will have some lapses like these. Not much to worry I feel for Indians or Lankans.
 
I must agree Nepal has some good talents coming through the ranks. I am looking forward to watching them in the quarter finals.
 
So If Pak and SL win today they qualify.

Seems like an achievement for Pakistan side because they were quite mediocre coming into the tournament

In last year and a half they have lost to Afghans, SL and NZ
 
I feel in a sense Nepal has a bright future with a cricket crazy fan base and plenty of stadiums. Unfortunately for Ireland theey dont have a fanbase and Afghans don't have the infrastructure and probably won't be hosting better sides

Also Ireland aren't helped by all their best players being poached by england
 
Good win for us. Good to see Zeeshan Malik score.
With SL beating Afghanistan, PAK & SL are through to the QF, while Afghanistan & Canada are eliminated.

India and Nepal are also through after their respective victories vs NZ and Ireland (who have been eliminated)
 
So much for [MENTION=137485]Dios[/MENTION] prediction of AFG topping one of SL or PAK :))
 
Ireland, Afg and Nepal all should be given test and Odi status. ICC and other boards won't as it will mean taking away power revenue from them. Give them test status and let them play regularly agaisnt each other and Zim, Ban, Wi, Pak, SL, if the big 3 don't want to.

Nepal usually do well in u 19 because of older players being picked as u 19. Usually the pahadi Nepalese people don't know their age and they just give random years as their birthdays..if you talk to Nepalese people they would say that he was born in the days when they had flood or snow. This is the reason why they suck at international cricket but do well in u 19 stage.

Also please remember the bone density tests are performed for random cricketers, not everyone goes through it.

Not entirely sure Nepal deserve it. 11th in the last published associate rankings by the ICC and bottom of the World Cricket League.
 
Four Asian sides enter Super League quarter-finals

Lamichhane’s hat-trick guides Nepal into its first-ever quarter-final

Lomror’s all-round performance and Avesh’s four for 32 helps India crush New Zealand

Asalanka leads from the front as Sri Lanka recovers to beat Afghanistan; Zeeshan scores 89 not out as Pakistan drubs Canada


Four Asian sides – India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka –advanced to the Super League quarter-finals of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup in Bangladesh with their second successive wins on Saturday.

India and Nepal, which took the two top spots in Group D at the expense of New Zealand and Ireland, will clash on Monday in their last league match to decide the group winner. The match will be produced by the ICC TV and will be aired around the world by 15 broadcasters.

Pakistan and Sri Lanka advanced from Group B, which also included Afghanistan and Canada, and will play each other on Wednesday, February 3, to determine who tops the group. This match will be produced by the ICC TV and will be aired around the world by 15 broadcasters.

Nepal rode on a five-wicket haul by leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane – which included the first hat-trick in the tournament – to defeat Ireland by eight wickets and confirm its maiden appearance in the quarter-finals.

Ireland was tied down to 131 for nine after electing to bat and Nepal, which had stunned New Zealand in its opening match, coasted home in the 26th over with Yogendra Karki making 61.

Lamichhane had Lorcan Tucker and Adam Dennison caught off successive balls in his fourth over and then bowled Fiachra Tucker with his next delivery to complete the hat-trick.

“What was more important than the hat-trick was that we won an important game and qualified for the quarter-finals,” said Lamichhane. “I hope we can continue the same way in other matches.”



Nepal’s captain Raju Rijal said qualifying for the quarter-finals meant a lot to his nation.

“I am sure there will be a lot of celebrations back home because cricket is very popular in our country,” said Rijal. “Performances like these will inspire more people to play the game in Nepal.

“The team spirit is very good and we enjoy each other’s success. The target now is to get past the quarter-finals also.”



Ireland captain Jack Tector blamed his team’s low total on the regular fall of wickets. “The hat-trick really did us in and our batsmen could not get enough runs on the board.”


India, sent into bat by New Zealand in Mirpur, piled up 258 for eight with Sarfaraz Khan top-scoring with 74 for the second time in the competition. Rishabh Pant made 57 and Armaan Jaffer scored 46.

But Mahipal Lomror stood out with a fine all-round display as he followed up his 45 with the bat with five for 47, which bundled New Zealand out for 138 in the 32nd over.

Seamer Avesh Kumar, who took three wickets in his first four overs to reduce the Kiwis to five for three, finished with four for 32. He was later declared player of the match.

“Our first aim to make the quarter-finals has been realised, but we cannot afford to relax,” said India captain Ishan Kishan. “We need to top the group, so the match against Nepal will be very important.

“I am confident because the batsmen are in form and the bowlers too are doing well. It is good that the seamers and spinners have got used to conditions here.”



Sri Lanka survived a tense run-chase by Afghanistan before clinching victory and a place in the quarter-finals.

Skipper Charith Asalanka top-scored with 71 in Sri Lanka's modest 184 all out, but Afghanistan was itself bowled out for 151 despite opener Karim Janat’s 40 and Waheedullah Shafaq’s 47.

Kamindu Mendis, who possesses a rare talent of bowling both right-arm off-spin and left-arm orthodox spin, claimed three wickets for 36 runs.


Pakistan scored a seven-wicket win over Canada after bowling out the unfancied rival for 178. Hasan Khan took three wickets and Shadab Khan took two.

The Pakistanis surpassed the target in the 41st over with opener Zeeshan Malik scoring an unbeaten 89 and Saif Badar 44. Zeeshan was later declared player of the tournament.

Pakistan captain Gohar Hafeez said he was satisfied with the way the tournament was progressing for his team.

“We are batting and bowling well and that is a good sign,” he said. “We will be well prepared for the Sri Lanka game because we want to win and top the group.”


The 11th edition of the biennial 16-nation tournament features nine Test-playing nations and seven Associate and Affiliate Members – Afghanistan, Canada, Fiji, Namibia, Nepal, Ireland and Scotland.

well limited overs cricket is going to flourish across asia indefinitely it seems

in an ideal world test cricket would too, but i suppose this is better than nothing

It's not just about rankings its about passion and following. Other countries have been playing and improving against each other over decades. Need to get these countries involved and not make it about the quality or devaluing of stats etc.
All matches between national sides of any country should also count as ODI's and T20's. It should not be about quality an India vs Pakistan football match is considered a international match so should all such limited overs matches be considered the same.
Test cricket they can try to preserve its purity etc but that is dying anyways so the big teams can keep it.

Nepal could become the next Bangladesh.

seems like so.

Nepal have the fan base, their style of play, and physical built we Bangladeshis have. Also plenty of infrastructure, they are a marketable cricketing nation something ICC is definitely taking of note. Unfortunately it will take a long time.

BTW, someone claimed that Western kids develop slower than their Asian counterparts which is why these they usually excel in national team though failing in U-19 level. I am not sure how this is valid because cricket is a technical sport more than physical and the westerners usually have a bigger growth curve which is why Asians don't grow much but Caucasians do. The main reason for success for Asian teams at this level is down to cricket craze amidst youngsters. Here cricket is seen more as a fantasy than a profession really.
