Harare, June 13 (Ians) After a whirlwind first half of 2023, Nepal travel to Zimbabwe with an aim to qualify for the Cricket World Cup, which is set to be held in India, later this year.
Seemingly in a rut during a tumultuous Cwc League 2 period, out of form and struggling to find their ideal first XI, Nepal’s fortunes changed in February when Monty Desai was appointed as head coach.
The team still had a third of their League 2 campaign in front of them, though needed at least 10 wins from their final 12 matches for a critical top-three spot and a guaranteed place at the upcoming Qualifier.
Amazingly, and with the help at key moments from a vocal Kathmandu crowd, the side won 11 of the last dozen, including a thrilling Dls-decided victory against UAE on the final day of the competition.
It turned out to be a sliding door moment of significance.

Dubai, Oct 30 (Ians/GloFans) Delhi Capitals will be looking to end their run of defeats and confirm a spot in the playoffs when they face the Mumbai Indians in the 51st match of the Indian Premier League here on Saturday.
With three defeats on the trot, DC have faltered in the latter stage of the league season after dominating for much of it.
While Mi are on top of the table with 16 points, DC (14 points) are at the third place, thanks to their net run-rate which is lower than that of second-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore.
If DC suffer defeats in their next two matches, it is possible that Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) would surpass them on net run-rate, even if the Kl Rahul-led side win only one of their remaining two matches. Heavy defeats in their next two games could even push DC out of the top four if Kolkata...

Dubai, Oct 26 (Ians/GloFans) After two consecutive defeats, against Punjab and Kolkata respectively, Delhi Capitals (DC) will aim to put their campaign back on track when they face a struggling SunRisers Hyderabad (Srh) here on Tuesday.
The last time the two sides squared-off in the season, the David Warner-led Srh came out victorious by 15 runs. However, Srh's campaign derailed afterwards while the Shreyas Iyer-led DC fired collectively to come close to qualifying for the playoffs. Another win would further strengthen DC's position at the top of the points table.
The DC top-order has succumbed under pressure in the recent past, except Shikhar Dhawan, but he too failed against Kolkata. The same was the issue with Ajinkya Rahane, who was promoted to open the innings in absence of Prithvi Shaw.
Iyer has been in good form but the lower middle-order, comprising Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer, has struggled after making a comeback.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 23 (Ians/GloFans) Table-toppers Delhi Capitals (DC) will aim to return on the winning path when they face fourth-placed Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) in the 42nd match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (Ipl) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium here on Saturday.
After a five-wicket defeat against King XI Punjab (Kxip) in their last match, Delhi will expect their batters to raise the bar as barring Shikhar Dhawan, all others have faltered.
It was Dhawan's second consecutive ton which had single-handedly propelled DC to a fighting total against Kxip before their bowlers failed to defend the target.
Young Prithvi Shah's last four outings include two ducks while captain Shreyas Iyer has struggled to regain his form with the bat he showed in much of the first half of the league stage since sustaining a side-strain.
Rishabh Pant had made a comeback from injury in the previous game but...

Dubai, Oct 19 (Ians/GloFans) After a memorable double Super Over win against reigning champions Mumbai Indians (Mi), a rejuvenated Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) will aim to carry their momentum and keep their chances of making it to the playoffs alive when they meet table toppers Delhi Capitals (DC) here on Tuesday.
Led by Kl Rahul, Kxip held their nerves in the heart-stopping contest at the same venue, Dubai International Stadium. The win would have surely boosted the morale of Kxip and the squad would aim to replicate the performance against Shreyas Iyer's men, who are currently atop the table with 14 points.
The sole problem with Kxip has been their failure to click as a unit, barring Rahul and opener Mayank Agarwal. The others have not supported them as they should have.
The Punjab batting lineup has surely been strengthened after the inclusion of Chris Gayle in the playing XI.

Dubai, Oct 13 (Ians/GloFans) Rajasthan Royals (Rr) will try and avenge the defeat they suffered at the hands of Delhi Capitals (DC) on October 9 when they meet here on Wednesday.
The Steve Smith-led Rr are placed at the sixth place in the standings, and would hope for a spirited show in order to keep their play-offs hopes alive.
On Wednesday, Rr have a bright chance of settling scores against the Shreyas Iyer-led DC as they have their most lethal weapon, Ben Stokes, back in the side.
The England all-rounder, who opened the innings against SunRisers Hyderabad (Srh), would be hungry to deliver after a below-par show on Sunday, which was also his first game of the season.
It will be interesting to see if the Rr think-tank once again asks Stokes to open the innings or send him to bat in the middle-order as his side lacks a genuine finisher or power-hitter there.

New Delhi, Oct 5 (Ians) Delhi Capitals' experienced leg-spinner Amit Mishra was on Monday ruled out of the rest of the current Ipl season due to an injury to the index finger of his bowling hand, dealing a blow to the team.
The 37-year-old cricketer, who has represented Delhi and Hyderabad franchises in all 13 Ipl seasons, sustained a flexor tendon injury to the right finger of his right hand while attempting to take a return catch of Kolkata Knight Riders' Nitish Rana on October 3.
Flexor tendons are the tissues that control a hand's movement.
Mishra, who has three hat-tricks in Ipl, has played three games this seaon, picking three wickets. He could bowl just two overs in the game against Kkr due to the injury.
"I never expected the injury would be this serious. I thought it would be for a match or two but have to accept it," Mishra, who has bagged 160 Ipl wickets,...

Dubai, Oct 4 (Ians/GloFans) It will be a battle between equals when two top Ipl teams -- Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) -- square-off at the Dubai International cricket stadium here on Monday.
Both teams have six points each, but on net run rate DC were ahead of Rcb till the start of the Mumbai Indians-SunRisers Hyderabad match on Saturday. Both Mumbai and Hyderabad had four points each before their game began, and by the end of their match, the equation on the points table could alter.
Delhi and Bangalore are fresh from wins on Saturday. While the Virat Kohli-led Rcb side thrashed Rajasthan Royal (Rr), the Shreyas Iyer-captained DC defeated Kkr by 18 runs.
Both contests saw their respective skippers leading from the front. After three below-par shows, Kohli regained his touch and played a fantastic unbeaten 72-run knock, helping his side register their third win of the league.

Abu Dhabi, Sep 28 (Ians/GloFans) The Shreyas Iyer-led Delhi Capitals (DC), high on confidence after two wins on the trot, will be up against SunRisers Hyderabad (Srh), the only team without a point, in the 11th match of the Ipl here on Tuesday.
While DC will aim for a hat-trick of wins, the David Warner-captained Srh would aim to register their first win of the season, having lost two of their previous outings against Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) and Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr).
In their first game against Kings XI Punjab (Kxip), which went into the Super Over, Marcus Stoinis and Kagiso Rabada ensured a win for DC before they comprehensively defeated a star-studded Chennai Super Kings in the next match.
In batting, the DC top-order comprising Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw will look to lay the foundation of a big total. While Shaw looks in good nick with the willow,...
