Australia U-19 v Nepal U-19

Australia beat Nepal by 96 runs

Feb 19, 2008

Australia survived a batting scare against Nepal before winning the group C match by 96 runs in Penang.
Nepal, who stunned South Africa and New Zealand in the previous under-19 World Cup two years ago, created another stir when they bowled out Australia for 206 with three balls remaining in the innings. The Aussies caved in under sustained pressure from the accurate Nepalese bowlers despite a first-wicket stand of 62 by openers Kirk Pascoe (37) and Philip Hughes (46).
Nepal's captain Paras Khadka was the main destroyer with four wickets while Raj Shrestha took 3-32. But the Nepalese batsmen failed to match the efforts of the bowlers and were shot out for 110 in the 33rd over with only Rahul Vishwakarma being the notable contributor with an unbeaten 33.
James Pattinson, Clive Rose and Steve Smith claimed three wickets each for Australia, who now face Sri Lanka on Friday to decide the group C leaders.
