T20 World Cup: ‘Very Proud Of Unit, Especially The Way We've Played’, Paudel After Close Loss V SA
After South Africa: After South Africa managed to edge out Nepal by just one run, denying the Asian side a historic victory against a Full Member nation in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at St. Vincent, Nepal’s captain Rohit Paudel expressed immense pride in his team's performance, highlighting their impressive bowling and batting efforts despite falling just short of the target.
"I am very proud of the unit, especially the way we bowled and batted, I'm very proud of that," Paudel said at the presentation. "We were very close but a little far. In crunch moments we did well, but the way we fought was very good. If we get more exposure regularly then next games we will be on the other side (of the result)."
Nepal's near-upset was driven by their spinners, Dipendra Singh Airee and Kushal Bhurtel, who claimed seven wickets for just 40 runs in their combined eight overs. Sandeep Lamichhane, playing his first game of the tournament, bowled four economical overs for just 18 runs. The spinners effectively choked South Africa, conceding only 75 runs in 14 overs.
