The match between Nepal and Scotland in the ICC World Cup League-2 has been canceled due to a possible thunderstorm. Nepal, batting first after losing the toss at the Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium in Dallas, had scored 26 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 6 overs when the game was halted. Before the interruption, Anil Shah had scored 10 runs and was dismissed, while Asif Sheikh remained unbeaten on 9 runs.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service, there was a likelihood of thunderstorms between 1 PM and 4 PM, which forced the game’s suspension. As a result, both teams have been awarded 1 point each.
So far, Nepal has won only 2 out of 12 matches in League-2, lost 8, and had 2 games canceled, placing them seventh on the standings with 6 points. Meanwhile, Scotland is in third place with 14 points from 12 matches. Nepal’s next League-2 match against Scotland will take place in May 2025 in Scotland, where the teams will face each other once again.
Nepal’s upcoming game in League-2 is expected to be more competitive, as Nepali teams will aim to improve their rankings and secure their league positions. This series will offer Nepal an opportunity to refine its game strategy and further develop the players’ experience.
