Champions in ambition, poor in execution

Based on ICC’s Women’s Team T20I ranking, Nepal were the third-best team in the series comprising Uganda, Hong Kong and Namibia. However, Nepal registered their fourth loss in five games on Thursday losing to the hosts.

“We are heading to Uganda aiming for the quadrangular series title,” Nepali women’s cricket team head coach Manoj Katwal told the Post during the team’s farewell in Kathmandu on March 5. Alongside Katwal, the whole squad was confident; but they all failed to realise their dream in Uganda.
