Nepal in ICC WC qualifiers

Young leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane led Nepal to a thrilling one-wicket win over Canada on Wednesday in the World Cricket League Div-2 in Namibia to book a place at next month's 2019 cricket World Cup qualifying tournament.

Nepal were indebted to an unbroken 51-run stand for the final wicket between Lamichhane and Karan KC, who hit the winning run off the final ball to chase down 195.

Nepal will take on PNG, Ireland, the Netherlands and West Indies in Group A while Group B features UAE, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Scotland and Hong Kong.
