PNG will face Nepal in match number 68 of the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 2019-23. The Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah will host this potentially exciting contest.
PNG, led by Assad Vala, have had a disastrous campaign so far in the tournament. Having lost all 13 of their matches, they languish at the bottom of the points table. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) inflicted a seven-wicket loss on PNG in their previous match on Tuesday.
After opting to bat first, PNG went 176 for eight on the back of the Vala pattern’s 46. Charles Amini and Simon Atai made useful contributions in the 20s. From then on, the United Arab Emirates, led by Ahmed Raza, chased the goal with 5.3 overs remaining. Asif Khan made an undefeated 81 from 102 balls.
Nepal, led by Gyanendra Malla, is also not in the best of positions. They sit sixth in the table with eight points in as many games and a 0.460 net run rate. In their previous game in September 2021, Nepal defeated Oman by seven wickets.
After opting to bowl first, Nepal eliminated Oman 121 in 37.1 overs. Captain Zeeshan Maqsood scored 41 runs off 66 balls with two fours and a six. Karan KC and Sandeep Lamichhane picked up four wickets each. Nepal chased the target riding on Malla’s undefeated 46-ball 52.
