Nepal’s World Cup Dream and ODI Status at Risk After Another Loss to USA
Nepal’s hopes of playing in the World Cup Qualifier and retaining its One Day International (ODI) status took another hit with a 37-run loss to the USA in the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2. This defeat leaves Nepal near the bottom of the table, currently standing second-last, with little room to recover if they are to keep the dream alive.
The performance in this match—and the League overall—has cast doubt on Nepal’s chances of advancing further in the World Cup qualification path. With just one win and seven losses so far, the gap between them and teams with stronger records, such as the USA, is growing. The possibility of relegation to a lower league and the loss of ODI status is now a real concern for Nepal, as their journey to the World Cup appears to be slipping away.
For Nepal, this means crucial decisions and strategies in the remaining games to try to turn the tide and keep their ODI dreams alive.
