Rohit Paudel’s 10 Runs Leave Nepal Down 102 to Oman — Nep Vs Oma
Nepal lost by 102 runs to Oman in nep vs oma on Wednesday after being bowled out for 155 in a DLS-adjusted chase. The result left Nepal on 14 points from 22 League-2 matches and seventh in the table, with the margin tightening an already difficult path to a top-four finish.
Rohit Paudel Falls Early
Rohit Paudel made 10 as Nepal’s reply stalled before it could build. Asif Sheikh went for 19 and Kushal Bhurtel for 1, and that top-order collapse left too much for the middle overs to recover once Oman had set 306.
Nepal reached 155 for 7 after 36 overs and 5 balls when the match was cut short. The score line showed how little room the chase had left, with the loss of wickets preventing any long partnership from changing the target.
Nepal Top Order Stalls
The problems were not limited to Wednesday. In Nepal’s last 10 ODIs, Paudel has reached a century only once, scoring 109 against the UAE in October 2025, and he failed to get past 40 in the other nine matches. He also had four innings in that span where he did not reach 3 runs.
Bhurtel has managed just one half-century in those 10 ODIs, while Sheikh has not registered a single fifty. Bhim Sarki has also failed to prove himself in ODIs, and Arjun Kumal and Binod Bhandari have stayed on the bench, leaving Nepal short of settled options at the top and in reserve.
League-2 Pressure Builds
Nepal’s record in League-2 now stands at six wins in 22 matches, with six home games and eight away games still left. The home series was supposed to give Nepal a stronger platform, but this defeat has made the climb back toward the top four much harder.
