Nepal Eliminated from ICC Women’s Challenge Trophy Title Race

The Nepalese women’s cricket team has been eliminated from contention for the ICC Women’s Challenge Trophy title. On Thursday, the United States secured the championship by defeating Italy in the opening match. Nepal managed to earn only 6 points from 6 matches after suffering defeats against Vanuatu and the United States.

The United States successfully chased down the target of 100 runs set by Italy in the 17th over, sealing their championship win. Currently, Nepal is competing against Vanuatu and has one more match remaining against Italy. However, even winning both games will not be enough to secure the title for Nepal. With 6 points from 6 matches, Nepal’s maximum tally would reach only 10 points if they win both remaining games.

The United States has accumulated 12 points from 7 matches in the tournament. Nepal faced defeats in both head-to-head matches against the United States as well as the match against Vanuatu. Conversely, Nepal secured wins in both matches against Rwanda and also won the match against Italy.
