Spin twins Sandeep
Lamichhane and Dipendra Airee helped Nepal sweep aside Papua New Guinea by six
wickets in the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier play-off in Harare.
Nepal have gained ODI status for the first
time in their history after defeating Papua New Guinea by six wickets in the
Cricket World Cup Qualifier play-off at Old Hararians Sports Club.
Nepal's bowlers laid the platform for the comprehensive win, with Sandeep Lamichhane and Dipendra Airee taking four wickets apiece to dismiss their opponents for 114 in just 27.2 overs. It was another disappointing batting display from PNG, who have now been bowled out for 200 or fewer in four of their five matches in the competition. The defeat confirms they will lose their ODI status.
