Kingstown: Ahead of their clash against South Africa in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Nepal skipper Rohit Paudel thanked the fans for showing support towards the Nepal Cricket Team regardless of their results.
Nepal are in Group D and placed in third position in the points table, with just one point from two games they have played in the ongoing marquee event.
Their last match against Sri Lanka at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida was abandoned due to rain.
“They have been supporting us for the last 2-3 years and we are enjoying it. I think regardless of the result they have been supporting us and I believe that they will come here also and support us,” Paudel said in the pre-match press conference.
The all-rounder further lauded the South African and Bangladesh saying that both are good teams and they have performed as a unit in the ongoing tournament which has helped them to qualify for the Super 8s.
“In this tournament, South Africa is playing good cricket and especially Bangladesh is also a good side. I think as a unit we are pretty much clear that we have to win both games to qualify for the Super Eights and talking about this condition after a long time in this venue, they are playing international cricket. So, we are looking forward to the challenges that this wicket offers and as we say walking in the unknowns because we don’t know how the wicket will react. So, we’ll assess the condition well tomorrow,” the skipper added.
In the end, the 21-year-old player concluded by saying that most of the batters struggled to score runs in the United States because of the conditions and surface.
