Nepal pulled off a tense run chase against Namibia in the 119th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup League Two 2023-27, with the game going down to the wire in Utrecht.
How the chase unfolded
Nepal won the toss after a rain delay and chose to bowl first, a decision that shaped the entire contest. Namibia posted 167 for 5 from their 45 overs, with Gerhard Erasmus and JJ Smit contributing late runs to push the total past 160. It was a competitive score on what appeared to be a surface offering some assistance to the bowlers early on.

When Nepal came out to bat, the target looked manageable but far from comfortable, and the match stayed tight through the middle overs. With 48 needed off 29 balls at one stage, the chase was very much alive for Namibia’s bowlers, and the pressure told on both sides.
What the finish looked like
Rohit Paudel and Aarif Sheikh were at the crease during the closing overs, rotating strike and working the ball into gaps. A wide from Erasmus in the 45th over briefly eased the tension for Nepal, and the pair kept finding singles when boundaries proved hard to come by. With 46 still needed off 28 balls at one point, Nepal needed something to shift the momentum their way.
The scorecard showed Nepal at 167 for 5 in the 45th over, level with Namibia’s total, meaning the chase was going deep into the innings and every run counted.

The ICC Cricket World Cup League Two serves as a qualification pathway toward the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup, making every match in the series carry significant weight. Both Namibia and Nepal are competing for the points that could ultimately determine which associate nations earn a place at the global showpiece.
Where both sides go from here
Namibia have been one of the more consistent associate sides in recent years, with Erasmus providing experienced leadership and Smit offering genuine all-round threat. Nepal, meanwhile, have shown real progress as a cricketing nation, and Paudel’s development as a batter at the top of the order has been central to their recent results.
This match, played in Utrecht as part of the European leg of the competition, adds another chapter to a rivalry between two associate programs that have both punched above their weight in world cricket over the past decade.
