Nepal Women's Cricket Team Faces Must-Win Scenario Against Scotland in T20 World Cup Qualifier

Kathmandu. In the final group stage match of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier, the Nepali national women's cricket team has been set a target of 141 runs for victory by Scotland. Scotland, having lost the toss and chosen to bat first at the TU Cricket Ground, scored 140 runs for the loss of all wickets in the allotted 20 overs.

Priya Chaterjee was the highest scorer for Scotland, contributing 45 runs. Elsa Lister scored 22 runs, while Sarah Bryce added 18 runs. On the bowling front, Manisha Upadhyay delivered an excellent performance for Nepal, taking four wickets.

She conceded 17 runs in four overs. Meanwhile, Rubina Chhetri took three wickets, and Riya Sharma, Sita Rana Magar, and Kabita Joshi each claimed one wicket. Nepal is under pressure to win today's match, as they have lost one of the previous three games, having defeated Zimbabwe in another.

Therefore, Nepal is under pressure to win today's match to advance to the next stage of the World Cup qualifier. Even if Nepal wins today's game, they will still have to depend on the results of other teams.
