Namibia has set a target of 275 runs for Nepal in the ongoing Triangular series of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 being held at TU Cricket ground in Kirtipur on Saturday.

Nepal, winning the toss for the third time in a row, opted to field first.

Zane Green, set his career-high score in ODI cricket, with an unbeaten 75 runs off 63 balls, smashing 11 fours and a six.

The partnership of Green and Pikky Ya France helped the visitors gather 94 runs, and set the 275 runs target, losing six wickets in the stipulated 50 overs.

France was dismissed by Nepal’s Sompal Kami via run-out.

Likewise, Namibian Captain Gerhard Erasmus and Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton scored 15 runs each, off 29 and 30 balls respectively. Erasmus was bowled out by Sandeep Lamichhane while Nicol was caught by Aasif Sheikh in 37.3 overs.

Continuing his spree, Lamichhane bowled out opener Lo-handre Louwrens, who smashed 8 fours to put 41 runs on the scoreboard off 54 balls, in 16.5 overs.

The leg-spinner grabbed three wickets for the hosts while Karan KC also managed to take a wicket in the second match between the two nations in the ongoing Triangular series.

Nepal has won both the matches it has played so far while Namibia has been unsuccessful in churning out a positive result.

Nepal are playing the triangular series with the mission of retaining their One-Day International (ODI) status. They currently stand sixth in the seven-nation bracket with 22 points off 26 matches.
