Post Report
KATHMANDU, May 12 - Nepali camp team defeated
the Indian boys from All India Cricket Research Institute team in a friendly match winning
the series 2-0 here at University cricket ground Kirtipur, today.
All India Cricket Research Team, after
winning the toss elected to bat first, lost its opener when only 31 runs were added to the
scoreboard. Number one batsman Aranadev was the only player from Indian side who showed
the fighting spirit making 50 runs off 92 balls which included four boundaries and a huge
sixer. He did not get any support from the other end as the wicket kept on falling in
regular intervals. Rupan Ghose and Sumon Ganguly also contributed 21 runs each which
helped the Indians to pile up a score of hundred plus. The Indian boys were all out for
145 runs in 42.2 overs.

runs per over. Kush Gurung, in his maiden over of the inning, took 1 wicket while Raj
Kumar Pradhan also sent one batsman to the pavilion in his full quota of overs.
