Nepal beats China - Sign of things to come ?

[Donny]

In the 2007 Asian Cricket Council Women's Tournament, Nepal will play Bangladesh in the final after cruising past China in the semi. Nepal won by 9 wickets when it chased China's 40 runs. The 1/41 total included 21 extras. Yes, it's Women's cricket and a minor tournament but it does provide some food for thought with China seriously expecting to host the ICC ODI World Cup in 2019 or '23. In the other semi, Bangladesh won by 59 runs. Bangladesh: 7/100 from 30 overs (P. Ghosh 39*; G. Li 2-16, K. Gill 2-26) Hong Kong: 41 all out after 23.3 overs (P. Ghosh 2-6, S. Khatun 2-2, C. Chakma 3-16) Interesting piece on Champa Chakma who took 3/16: "Barely nudging four foot and from a part of Bangladesh (the Chittagong Hills) that didn't know of cricket until the 21st. century, Chakma possesses a repertoire of which Monty Panesar would be proud. The ball that did for Renee Montgomery would have foxed anyone and had even the umpire from her end, S. Chandrasekaran admiring it. He said after the match's conclusion, "Through the air it looked like it was going to the off, and the batsman shaped to drive, on pitching it just darts in and takes leg-stump. She has one that bounces, one that moves away and one that moves in, there's one that gets quicker off the pitch….."
