Nepal beat Namibia by 39 runs in their Under 19 Cricket World Cup playoff match on Tuesday, with the result that Namibia will now play off for 15th position against Zimbabwe in their final match on Thursday.
Nepal elected to bat after winning the toss and posted 219 runs for seven wickets in their 50 overs. Namibia got bogged down by Nepal’s accurate bowling and could not maintain the asking run rate and were eventually all out for 180 runs.
After electing to bat, Nepal were soon in trouble when Andre Engelbrecht dismissed Fajlur Rahman for 5 with the total on 11.
