NZ vs NEP, U19 World Cup, Highlights
That is it from this game then! Two more games follow on Monday. Both begin at 1330 IST (0800 GMT). It is Australia taking on Namibia and Bangladesh will be facing Ireland. The build-up however, will begin a lot earlier. Till then, goodbye and take care!
Snehith Reddy, MAN OF THE MATCH, says it was good to build a partnership with Oscar. They assessed the condition and gave themselves a chance. Shares he was nervous for a while but it was good to hit the ton
.... PRESENTATION TIME ...
In reply, Nepal kept losing wickets at regular intervals. They struggled to build big parnterships and just the one batter batted well and that was Arjun Kumal. He fell 10 short of a half ton but received no support from the other end. Also, the top four bowlers for the Kiwis were excellent. Mason Clarke was the pick but he got able support from the rest. Overall, a very good performance in the end.
A comprehensive win for the Kiwis! To be honest, it was that partnership between Oscar Jackson and Snehith Reddy which won them the game. They were in trouble when the two got together but they added over 100. Snehith Reddy went on to score a ton and that took his side to a massive sore.
