Nepal vs MCC 2019: Day 2 Ended - MCC has a huge lead

The second day of first class cricket between Nepal vs MCC has now ended. MCC has a lead of 302 runs against Nepal at the end of Day 2 and is at a real strong position to win the match.

Overview

MCC scored 364 Runs in the board in their first innings which was a pretty nice total in different conditions. Nepal came into bat just before the launch of second day and started off really very bad. Nepal got all out for 153 in 44.4 overs. Sandeep Lamichhane and Lalit Narayan Rajbanshi built a partnership of 42 runs for the last wicket. For Nepal, Sandeep Lamichhane scored not out 39 runs. Similarly, Binod Bhandari scored 36 runs where as Sompal Kami contributed 26 runs to Nepal's scoresheet. Mohammad Aarif Sheikh also scored 10 runs. None of the other batsmans could reach the double figure digit. Raju Rijal scored 8 runs, Dipendra Singh Airee scored 1 run, Pawan Saraf and Karan KC scored 2 runs each.

MCC's Second Innings

MCC has already started their second batting innings and are at a strong position as Day 2 has ended. In second innings, MCC are at 91/2 in 21 overs. Pawan Saraf got the first wicket for Nepal in the 11th over dismissing MCC's opener Will Rhodes. He was at a personal score of 30 runs when Karan KC took a catch in Pawan's drifted delivery. Shortly after, Lalit Narayan Rajbanshi picked up the wicket of Billy Goldeman under LBW conditions. Tom Westley is not out at 17.

Conclusion

It almost looks like an impossible win for Nepal now as tomorrow will be the last day of the first class series. If Nepal cannot get MCC out by tomorrow, MCC will automatically win the match. But if Nepal gets MCC all out and go on to bat, the match may end up getting to a possible fourth day. So, let's see what day 3 has to offer and hope for the best performance of Nepali Cricket Team. Cheers !
