Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier

[The Professor]

Today marks the start of the qualifiers for this year’s T20 World Cup with 8 associate nations split between two groups.

Nepal should be considered one of the front runners and looked in a bit of bother when they were all out for 117 runs in their opening fixture against Oman. Kamel Singh Airee got 3 wickets as the Nepalis rattled Oman out for a mere 78.

As is often the case in Associate competitions there were some whoopings. Canada got 216-1 against the Phillipnes before the island nation were all out for a 118 run deficit. Matthew Spoors was the key force in the Canadian attack with 108. Bahrain looked good against Germany with the name of Junaid Aziz standing out with figures of 1.4-0-5-5.

Games continue through to Thursday.
