Japan troubles Nepal despite defeat as teams meet after 25 years

Japan’s recent performances show that the country is now emerging in cricket with solid investment in the sport.

On November 21, 2000, Nepal were facing Hong Kong in the semi-final of the 3rd ACC Trophy at Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the UAE. It was the first game of Nepal which was broadcast live on Star Sports with former Pakistani cricketer Ramiz Raja in commentary.
