Dawlat Zadran takes four wickets in rain-affected encounter against Nepal; UAE and Hong Kong end campaigns with wins
Afghanistan lifts ACC title with big win - Cricket News
Afghanistan won four of its five matches to take its tally to eight points, the most by any team in the competition, to win the ACC Premier League.
Afghanistan emerged triumphant in the Asian Cricket Council Premier League 2014, lifting the title after a 108-run win over Nepal via the Duckworth-Lewis method in a rain-affected encounter on Wednesday (May 7), the fifth and final day of the tournament.

The win took Afghanistan’s tally to eight points, the most by any team in the competition, after four wins in five games.

Dawlat Zadran, the right-arm pacer, was instrumental in delivering victory for Afghanistan, returning match-winning figures of 4 for 26 in seven overs to restrict Nepal to 128 for 9 in its allotted 32 overs. Earlier, Afghanistan’s top order came good as the team put up a healthy total of 262 in 49.3 overs. Rain interrupted Nepal’s chase, already rocked by Dawlat’s early strikes, and it was then set a target of 237 in 32 overs at the Kinrara Academy Oval in Kuala Lumpur.

All of Afghanistan’s top three made solid contributions, setting the base for a good total. Noor Ali Zadran (43 off 59) and Usman Ghani (51 off 61) put on 98 for the opening wicket in 19.1 overs, and Hashmatullah Shahidi contributed 51 off 77 to hold the innings together after both openers departed in quick succession. Mohammad Nabi, the captain, also chipped in with a vital contribution down the order, hitting 34 off 25 from No.6 to push the score along.

For Nepal, Shakti Gauchan and Basant Regmi picked up six wickets between them, with Gauchan returning figures of 3 for 39 in ten overs, while Regmi finished with 3 for 45 in 8.3 overs. Aarif Sheikh took 2 for 39 in eight overs, while Sompal Kami, who opened the bowling, and Raj Pradhan took a wicket each.

Nepal’s chase got off to a shaky start, Dawlat taking four of Nepal’s top five batsman to ensure Afghanistan had the upper hand from the beginning. Rain halted play in the 17th over, with Nepal 56 for 5, and already facing a steep ask.

Paras Khadka, the captain, made a battling 33 off 51 balls, but he was the only one who held firm for Nepal.

Elsewhere at the Bayuemas Oval, United Arab Emirates beat Oman by 57 runs to finish third on the points table with its third win in the tournament. UAE’s bowlers rose to the occasion after its innings had ended on 162 all out in 38.4 overs, bowling Oman out for just 105 in 38 overs.

Kamran Shazad and Fayyaz Ahmed led the way for UAE, taking three wickets each.

Put in, UAE was on the back foot early when Munis Ansari struck a double blow in the seventh over, getting Amjad Ali and Khurram Khan, the captain. Mohammad Shahzad, who had shared a 41-run opening stand with Ali, then built a 47-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Krishnachandran Karate. Shahzad hit his first half-century of the tournament, while Ansari returned figures of 4 for 43 in nine overs.

Oman had reached 75 or 3 in the 23rd over, having overcoming early strikes, before a collapse ensued. Oman lost its last seven wickets for the addition of only 30 runs, as UAE won comfortably in the end. Mohammad Naveed was also among the wickets, picking up a couple, to complement Kamran and Fayyaz.

At the Selangor Turf Club, Hong Kong’s bowlers backed their captain Jamie Atkinson’s decision to field first, coming up with a collective effort to bowl Malaysia out for 184 in 46.5 overs, allowing the batsmen to complete a four-wicket win, Hong Kong’s first of the tournament .

Malaysia’s innings was built around a 66-run sixth wicket stand between Khizar Hayat (37) and Hammadullah Khan (38), but that was the only partnership of note.

Nadeem Ahmed, the left-arm spinner, returned figures of 3 for 28 in 8.5 overs for Hong Kong, while Tanwir Afzal and Irfan Ahmed, who opened the bowling, took two wickets each. Nizakat Khan and Waqas had a wicket apiece.

Hong Kong lost Irfan Ahmed early during its chase. Waqas (44) and Nizakat (37), however, added to their good work with the ball to stitch together a 67-run stand for the second wicket in just 58 balls. The duo departed in quick succession, following which Atkinson (22) and Babar Hayat (45) came together for a 53-run stand for the fourth wicket that took their team closer to the target.

Shahrulnizam Yusof, the left-arm spinner, accounted for two wickets, giving away 43 runs in ten overs, but it was Khizar Hayat who stood out, his off-spin fetching him returns of 2 for 29.

Oman defends small total against Hong Kong to scrape through by nine runs 

Sompal Kami’s five-wicket haul helped Nepal secure a five-wicket win against Malaysia in the fifth match of the ACC Premier League, at the Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur on Friday (May 2).

Kami, with 5 for 47 in ten overs, was instrumental in bowling Malaysia out for 149 in 43 overs. In reply, Nepal recovered from a shaky start to reach home in 37.3 overs, with five wickets in hand.

Kami accounted for the first three wickets, as Malaysia was quickly reduced to 28 for 3. Opener Anwar Arudin top-scored for Malaysia with 34, but he fell in the 14th over, caught off left-arm spinner Basant Regmi. Wicketkeeper Shafiq Sharif and Suharril Fetri got off to starts, but the rest of the line-up could not manage even that. Both batsmen, however, consumed too many deliveries for their effort. Sharif’s 24 took 46 balls, while Fetri took 81 balls for his 22.

Regmi was the best bowler after Kami, taking 2 for 26 in nine overs, while Mahaboob Alam, captain Paras Khadka and Sagar Pun accounted for a wicket apiece.

Nepal was in a spot of bother early in the innings, with four wickets down in 10.4 overs and just 36 on the board. Alam then led the recovery, adding 89 for the fifth wicket with Sharad Vesawkar. Alam was eventually run out, having made 53, while Vesawkar remained unbeaten on 29.

Suresh Navaratnam, who rocked the Nepal top-order with three quick strikes, was the best bowler for Malaysia, returning figures of 3 for 33 in nine overs.

Oman edges past Hong Kong

At the Selangor Turf Club, Oman, after being asked to bat, folded for 143 in 45.1 overs, thanks to a collective effort from Hong Kong’s bowlers. However, its bowlers, led by left-arm spinner Ajay Lalcheta and Rajesh Kumar, came up with a spirited effort to steal a nine-run win.

In pursuit of a small total, Hong Kong opener Irfan Ahmed got off to a brisk start, smashing 20 off 10 balls. However, his onslaught did not last long, as he was caught by Munis Ansari.

Waqas Barkat too got off to a start, with a 28-ball 21, while Ankur Sharma struggled to up the ante during his stay, taking 86 balls for his 30.

Haseeb Amjad produced a late cameo, scoring 38 off 35 balls, but it proved insufficient.

Lalcheta finished with match figures of 4 for 22 in 10 overs, while Rajesh’s quota fetched him 3 for 25.

Earlier, Oman’s innings was helped by its captain Sultan Ahmed and Amir Ali, who came in at No. 6 and No. 7 respectively. Sultan, who made 37, and Amir, who remained unbeaten on 32, were the only two batsmen to make some sort of impact on the scorecard.

Tanwir Afzal, who took 3 for 28 in ten overs, and Irfan Ahmed, who finished with 3 for 17 in 7.1 overs, starred with the ball for Hong Kong, while Nadeem Ahmed’s left-arm spin fetched him 2 for 20 in seven overs.

Zeeshan Maqsood leads batting effort as Oman registers 74-run win against Malaysia in ACC Premier League
Gyanendra Malla scored 47 and added 66 runs for the second wicket with Subash Khakurel, as Nepal beat UAE by four wickets.
Zeeshan Maqsood’s 108-ball 77, coupled with all-round efforts from Aamir Kaleem, the left-arm spinner, and Zeeshan Siddiqui, helped Oman secure a 74-run win against Malaysia in the Asian Cricket Council Premier League at the Kinrara Academy Oval in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday (May 1). Maqsood’s knock helped Oman to a competitive 269 for 6 in 50 overs, before Malaysia folded for 195 in 40.2 overs, with Kaleem and Siddiqui taking six wickets between them.

Maqsood first put on 68 for the opening wicket with Siddiqui (28) in 18 overs, before adding 94 more with Arif Hussain (44). He was bowled by Hassan Ghulam’s right-arm pace bowling off the first ball of the 37th over, with the score on 174 for 3. Kaleem then helped Oman finish things off well, with an unbeaten 42 off 41 balls.

Ghulam was expensive, leaking 72 runs in his quota of ten overs. But, he made up for it by picking up four important wickets.

Ahmed Faiz, the captain, anchored Malaysia’s chase after it lost Anwar Arudin off the third ball of the innings. Faiz added 63 for the second wicket with Nasir Shafiq (28), but thereafter, was left fighting a lone battle. Khizar Hayat (32 off 31 balls) joined him for a 41-run stand for the sixth wicket, but once Faiz departed for a fighting 90-ball 70, it was only a matter of time before Malaysia was bowled out.

Kaleem’s ten overs fetched him impressive figures of 3 for 37, while Siddiqui took 3 for 24 in four overs.

At the Selangor Turf Club, Sompal Kami and Mahaboob Alam, who opened the bowling for Nepal, helped their team bowl UAE out for 191 in 48.1 overs, before Subash Khakurel, the wicketkeeper batsman, led the chase with a 91-ball 71, as Nepal emerged victorious with four wickets in hand.

UAE’s innings rode on the back of a 95-ball 76 from Swapnil Patil, the wicketkeeper, who walked in with the team on 37 for 3. Krishnachandran Karate and Mohammad Shahzad chipped in with useful knocks of 36 and 25 respectively, before UAE was bowled out in the 49th over.

Kami finished with 3 for 39 from 9.1 overs, while Alam’s eight overs fetched him figures of 3 for 21.

Nepal lost Naresh Budayair early in the innings before Khakurel and Gyanendra Malla (47) led the recovery with second wicket stand worth 66 runs. Paras Khadka (30), the captain, then joined Khakurel for a 59-run stand, before Khakurel added a further 38 with Sharad Vesawkar. By the time Khakurel departed in the 32nd over, Nepal was within touching distance of a win, with just 23 needed, and it eventually went past the line in 39.5 overs.

Fayyaz Ahmed, the left-arm spinner, was the best bowler for UAE, with figures of 2 for 49 in 9.5 overs.
