T20 qualifiers semifinal: Nepal loses to Afghanistan

By

Nepal has lost to Afghanistan in the semifinal match of the ongoing ICC World T20 qualifiers in UAE on Friday, despite ensuring T20 World Cup berth in Bangladesh in 2014.
Nepal batted first and posted a meager target of 91 runs, which Afghanistan chased down in 15 overs at the loss of three wickets only. Nepal's Abinash Karna took two wickets spending 17 runs in three overs.
Earlier, Afghanistan chose to field first after winning the toss. Nepal scored total 90 runs with the loss of eight wickets in the allotted 20 overs.
Sharad Vesawkar scored 27 runs, the highest by the team.  Gyanendra Malla scored 14 runs while Nepal’s captain Paras Khadka was out after 13 runs.
Afghanistan’s Samiullah Shenwari claimed three wickets while Izatullah Dawlatzai took two wickets against Nepal.

However, the winner of this match will advance to the final of the Qualifiers. Nepal had lost by nine wickets against Afghanistan in the Group stage match of the tournament earlier.

Two big sinkholes formed in Pokhara

By Anonymous
Two big sinkholes have been formed in the city of Pokhara. The larger sinkhole is about eight feet wide and seven feet deep on Gagan man marg, in front of Kalika Boarding School. It was reported 8:30 p.m., BWS spokesman Harikrishna Mahat said.  The agency's crews noticed a nearby patch in the street and traced it back to Sept. 15 road work to repair a water main leak. However, Mahat said there's no way to tell whether that leak in any way contributed to the sink hole. The trench was compacted and repairs completed by 5:15 a.m., so residents weren't affected, he added. source:staradvertiser.com
