ACC Premier Cup: Nepal returning empty-handed

KATHMANDU: Nepal faced a disappointing defeat against Hong Kong in the ACC Twenty20 Premier Cricket Cup, marking a disappointing end to their journey.

The match, held in Oman as part of the ongoing competition, saw Nepal lose by 4 wickets, securing them the third position in the group stage.

Despite winning four consecutive matches in the group stage, Nepal suffered back-to-back defeats in the semifinals, first against the UAE and now against Hong Kong.

This loss not only dashed Nepal’s hopes of advancing to the Asia Cup but also ended their chance of qualification for the upcoming ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup, scheduled for November
