Having bowled out Canada for 80 in 15 overs, Nepal were never in trouble, chasing down the target in 14.1 overs for the loss of Aasif Sheikh and Kushal Malla’s wickets. Kushal Bhurtel, who became only the third Nepalese batter to score a T20I century on Saturday against the Philippines, stayed unbeaten on 34. Along with Dipendra Singh Airee (27), the side cantered to victory.   Nepal emerged as the Group A topper with a clean slate after recording three successive wins for six points.

Nepal will take on the Group B runner-up UAE while the hosts will face Group B topper Ireland in the semi-finals, which will be played on Tuesday. Both the matches begin at 14.00 hrs (local time). At Oman Academy 2 ground, Oman missed a chance to script history. They recorded one of the largest margins of victory in a T20 International by bowling out Philippines for 36 in 15.2 overs, their lowest-ever T20 International total, the hosts chased the target in just 2.5 overs, scoring 40-1. The huge win for Oman, with 103 balls remaining was just a ball more than the world record margin achieved by Austria. On 31 August 2019, Austria had defeated Turkey in a T20I match with 104 balls remaining in Ilfov County, Romania. Electing to bat first, Philippines was rocked by the pace attack of – Bilal Khan, Kaleemullah and Fayyaz Butt. Khan gave away just seven runs in his three-over spell on a trot to build the pressure. Kaleemullah and Fayyaz Butt complimented each other as they sent back the top-order by the eighth over. Khawar Ali and Aamir Kaleem then spun a magical web as wickets fell at regular intervals. Philippines, who are making their debut in the global qualifiers, were bowled out for 36 in 15.2 overs. Ali bagged four for 11 in 3.2 overs while Kaleem had figures of 2-1-2-2. Butt and Kaleemullah also bagged a brace each. Oman lost Kashyap Prajapati off the second ball of their innings but with a small total, it turned out to be a stroll in the park for the hosts. Khurram Khan smashed a quick fire 12-ball 33, which included 5 fours and 2 sixes, and along with Jatinder Singh, wrapped up an easy win. Nepal skipper Sandeep Lamichhane led from the front with a three-wicket haul (3-12) to bowl out Canada for 80. Kamal Airee and Abinash Bohara picked two wickets apiece. The Canadian innings were rocked by two run out dismissals with in-form opener Rayyan Pathan triggering a collapse. Three balls after Pathan’s exit, Ravinderpal Singh followed him in the pavilion with the team’s total at 39-4. The Canadian batters were stifled against some accurate bowling and could never recover from the double-wicket loss in the sixth over. A procession continued as the next five batters were dismissed for the addition of just nine runs, which included another run-out dismissal [Saad Zafar]. At 48-9, Canada were in a precarious situation with nearly ten overs remaining. Dilon Heyliger and No 10 Salman Nazar adopted a counter-attack strategy to push the score to take it to 80 with a crucial 32-run stand. Heyliger smashed 2 sixes and a four in his unbeaten 22-ball 24 while Nazar made 10.

Sports Bulletin Report ISLAMABAD:-The university town of Potchefstroom in South Africa has been home to some fantastic FIH Hockey Pro League men's matches over the past 14 days and it all came to an end with another defeat for the host nation at the hands of Germany. Germany put in a solid performance to beat South Africa 3-1. The result moves the European side to second in the FIH Hockey Pro League behind Netherlands. For South Africa, this was their eighth game in a fortnight, and each match has pushed the team to their physical limits. But, for Head Coach Garreth Ewing, the learning opportunities gained from exposure to international competition from around the world has been invaluable. South Africa v Germany (men) – Potchefstroom, University of North West (RSA) The first quarter was played at a pulsating pace and it was South Africa who first caused defensive problems as the combined forces of Nqobile Ntuli and Dayaan Cassiem combined well to cause consternation in the German defence. German Head Coach Andre Henning had spoken before the match about his team's need to focus on defence and South Africa set out to test this with some quick attacking movements. However, it was Germany who took the lead in the 11th minute as Dan Bell was unable to get his foot out of the way in front of his own goal. Christopher Ruhr made no mistake as he sent the ball past Estiaan Kriek in the South Africa goal. The second quarter saw Germany batter the South Africa defence with a barrage of penalty corners but Gowan Jones in the South Africa goal was equal to the task. A breakthrough came with three minutes left when a foul in the circle led to Germany's second penalty stroke. Malte Hellwig made no mistake as he slotted the ball home. The third quarter saw things heat up as South Africa chased a grandstand finish to the match. Both teams received yellow cards as players upped the pace and ferocity of their play, however neither side were able to add to the score-line during this passage of play. Just seconds into the final quarter and Germany finally made a penalty corner count. A variation saw Hellwig's shot well-saved but Paul- Philipp Kaufmann was able to find a way past Estiaan Kriek, who had replaced Jones in the South African goal. The home side finally found a reward for their hard work in the 47th minute. Ryan Julius made a penetrating run down the right-side of the pitch and drew a foul which led to a penalty corner. Connor Beauchamp made no mistake as he rifled the ball home.

Sports Bulletin Report ISLAMABAD:-France wrapped a gruelling but rewarding Pro League series in Potchestfstroom with a 2-1 win over South Africa. South African 19-year-old Mustapha Cassiem scored an absolute rocket of a goal in the first quarter to leave France chasing but a Blaise Rogeau redirection and a Victor Charlet penalty stroke sealed France’s third win of their series in South Africa. Over in Argentina, the Leones put on another show in front of a full crowd to earn a 3-1 win over England. Lucas Martinez scored two goals, while Player of the Match Lucas Toscani scored the game’s opener. England’s Nicholas Bandurak scored on a penalty corner to deny Argentina the shutout. Argentina’s women’s side went on a scoring frenzy as five different scorers got on the board in a 5-2 win over England. The Leonas put on a skill showcase with some fantastic goals and incredible display of individual stick skills. Elena Rayer and Holly Hunt scored late in the game to finally reward England for their efforts. South Africa v France (men) – Potchestfstroom, University of North West (RSA) Victor Charlet was on the start and end of France’s second goal as his long ball down the right was further deflected on to a streaking Timothée Clément. Clément took the right baseline but weathered a tough stick foul from Nduduzo Lembethe and a penalty stroke was awarded. Charlet finished stick side just over the back board for the 2-1 France lead. Late in the third quarter France were again unsuccessful from the penalty corner unit as Spooner cleared the ball of the line as France looked for an option from the left side. Charlet’s goal was enough for France to hang on and grab another three points over South Africa. Following the game Viktor Lockwood was named Player of the Match and commented: ‘We are very, very exhausted – eight games in 12 days I think. We used up so much energy in the game so we had a difficult game but before the game we said we just need to win to finish the competition (in South Africa). So, we are happy and we can have some rest now.’ Argentina v England (men & women) – Cenard, Buenos Aires (ARG) Back at the Cenard, the Argentina men again dazzled the home crowd with some spectacular play to seal a 3-1 win over England. Lucas Toscani scored the game’s opening goal and was named Player of the Match, while Lucas Martinez added two more to Argentina’s total. England’s lone goal came from a penalty corner flick at the hands of Nicholas Bandurak. Both teams traded chances in the first quarter but England struggled to get close enough to really test Argentina keeper Tomas Santiago. An errant clear from England allowed Martinez to set up Nicolas Keenan from close range but the upright shot went just wide of the England goal mouth. Argentina continued to create chaos for England. In the ninth minute Nicolas Cicileo sent a fantastically timed cross to Martinez who beat England’s Nicholas Park and finished on the back hand for a 1-0 Argentina lead. The third quarter was all credit to England who pressed hard but really struggled to put shots on net. Finally on the penalty corner Bandurak was able to flick around Habif and beat Santiago glove side high to get England within one. England were caught on their heels and a monster aerial sailed over England’s last player Timothy Nurse. Martinez was there to collect the bouncing ball and smash it into the empty net to give Argentina the 3-1 lead and final score. Argentina went to work late in the second quarter with two penalty corner goals just two minutes apart. Costa trapped the ball upright off the injection and paced a pass in that took a deflection from Martina Triñanes for the 2-0 lead. Argentina’s third goal came after England keeper Amy Tennant left a soft rebound following a penalty corner flick. Eugenia Trinchinetti buried it on a reverse stick sweep from her knees for the 3-0 Argentina lead heading into half time. Victoria Granatto made it 4-0 in the third quarter as she displayed some phenomenal stick skills up the right side only to be the eventual beneficiary of a bouncing cross. A back-hand finish from close range beat a frozen Tennant in the England goal.

After a long wait, the World Cup is finally here. We as a team have been preparing for the last five years, since the 2017 World Cup in England where we fell short in the semi-finals. In our preparation, we have tried many combinations to find the right fit for this World Cup. After many successful and unsuccessful games and series, we are confident that whoever walks out onto the park on the day can do the job for us. We have a strong squad with a combination of experienced players and a couple of players who will be making their World Cup debut. This is very exciting for us as a team. We are coming off an extremely good year, and I know that the teams’ confidence is high. Around the same time in 2020, we played a series against New Zealand on some of the same grounds we will be playing in this tournament and were very successful. I am hoping that the preparation we had on that tour and the knowledge we gained will play a huge role in this tournament. We have also just played the West Indies at home, where we played a couple of games under lights. I think we’re also one of the few teams who has played the most super overs in ODI’s. We couldn’t have asked for better preparation. The most important part for us is to not focus too much on our opposition. Every match will be played like a final, therefore it is imperative that we only focus on what we do best and what we can control. In our previous series, this is what worked best for us. We tried to do the basics as best as we could, and the result took care of itself. It is so easy to get caught up in the hype and excitement of a World Cup, but it is going to be important for us to stay in our little bubble and be focused on our goal. In the past, we have always been seen as the underdogs, but I think we have shown in the past few years that we are a team to be reckoned with. We have shown consistent performances in difficult countries like India and the West Indies. We as a team also had a great T20 World Cup two years ago In Australia and turned some heads. I hope that we do the same this year, and hopefully reach that final that we’ve been missing out on, on three different occasions.

France v Germany (men) – Potchestfstroom, University of North West (RSA) Four goals in the second half propelled Germany 4-2 over France in the teams’ second FIH Pro League meeting in Potchestfstroom, South Africa. Despite the score line France did well to climb back from a 3-0 deficit and get within one before pulling their goalkeeper in the final minute of play. Four different goal scorers tallied for Germany — Justus Weigand, Hannes Muller, Thies Prinz, also named Player of the Match, and Moritz Trompertz. Timothée Clément and Eliot Curty scored brilliant goals for the French, who have now battled their way through a gruelling seven games in 12 days. A scoreless opening half was a fair result for the two sides that traded flurries of attack. Penalty corner ace Victor Charlet had just one chance in the game but his flick was saved by German goalkeeper Alexander Stadler. Germany had their chance on the set piece but a sloppy trap resulted in a scramble and the eventual Constantin Staib shot was saved by Arthur Thieffry. Before half time Christopher Rühr and Mats Grambusch both had open blasts at goal but Thieffry was again there to deny both while gutsy diving by the French defenders cleared the ball from the circle.  Two goals, five minutes a part, in the third quarter silenced any consistent French possession. First, a beautiful tic-tac-toe play from Wellen to Staib drew Thieffry off this line and a slip to Weigland broke the deadlock. France started to tire as Germany moved the ball in the clinical style they are so well known for. An errant outlet pass resulted in a France turnover in midfield. Weigand was the beneficiary of the counterattack and his bouncing pass into the circle was well finished by Muller for a 2-0 Germany lead. France had a stellar chance to get on the board near the end of the third quarter as Gaspard Baumgarten beat two German defenders and fed the ball to Blaise Rogeau. From the stroke mark Rogeau’s blast was saved by Stadler. Germany continued to advance as Clément was dispossessed in midfield and that sprung a give-and-go play for Rühr to set up Prinz for a third Germany goal. Clément was not shaken and redeemed himself less than a minute later as he brilliantly finished a Victor Charlet pass into the circle to get France within two. Then, Rogeau’s touch on a Benjamie Marque pass into the circle popped the ball through to speedster Curty who finished with a sneaky flick to bring France within one, down 3-2. France head coach Frederic Soyez pulled Thieffry looking to push for the tie but Germany were quick to capitalize and Trompertz paced a back-hand shot into the empty net to secure the 4-2 victory and bring Germany’s total to nine points won in South Africa. Germany’s Mats Grambusch spoke to his team’s the slow start but resulting win: ‘Similar thing to (last game), we didn’t start as good as we wanted to. Every time we control the match and play structured we are a lot better than France but they defended well and they had some counter attacks and we lost the ball in midfield a lot. That’s why (France) kept believing and staying in the game.” Argentina v England (men & women) – Cenard, Buenos Aires (ARG) An early goal for Los Leones turned in to the eventual game winner in the 2-0 Argentina win over England. A quick free hit and some confusion amongst the England defence line allowed Nicolas Keenan’s touch to find Matias Rey. Rey cut across the top of the circle and quickly turned to blast the ball towards goal. An unfortunate touch from defender Liam Sanford beat England keeper James Mazarelo for the 1-0 Argentina lead. Both teams had their chance on penalty corners. Argentina’s Jose Tolini was denied by a fantastic out-stretched boot save from Mazarelo. England’s Sam Ward had a flick denied and the rebound shot from David Condon was also denied by keeper Tomas Santiago. In the 35th minute, Argentina’s Agustin Bugallo was awarded a yellow card after a physical challenge on Ward and England was able to capitalize with a series of pressuring attacks.  Ward had a chance to draw level for England but his low penalty corner flick was steered away on the line by the Argentine post player. Liam Sanford was critical running down two Argentina penalty corners in the third quarter. The second of which Sanford sprung a counterattack when the ball was miss trapped. David Goodfield did well to secure the circle entry but England couldn’t muster a shot. On a third penalty corner Argentina again miss trapped the ball but the composed Maico Casella managed to still get a low pass towards goal. Federico Monja’s reverse stick redirected the ball up and into the mesh for a 2-0 Argentina lead. Timothy Nurse was brought down just outside the Argentine circle to allow England another penalty corner chance with 10 minutes to go in the game. Ward’s flick went wide left of Santiago’s goal and the frustration showed. England continued to pressure as Sanford had another chance for Argentina near the end of the quarter but his back-hand shot went wide of the near post. Another England penalty corner chance late in the game was cleared by Santiago and that was how the story went. Argentina’s early goals were enough to secure the win and another three points in their Pro League tour. Player of the Match Frederico Monja said: ‘I think it was a very difficult game – very tough. We had to work really hard every quarter. It was a very physical team so it was very good result. For some moments of the game we lost the ball very quickly and our finish perhaps needs to be better in the end.’ In the women’s game two goals from each of Agustina Gorzelany and Julieta Jankunas powered Argentina 5-2 over England. Captain Hollie Pearne-Webb, playing in her 200th match, buried a penalty corner goal of her own to leave England trailing 2-1 at half time. A late effort from Elena Rayer again got England within one in the third quarter, trailing 3-1, but the Leonas went to work and put away two more in the fourth for a dominating performance. Gorzelany wasted no time putting the Leonas on the board with a dragflick into the bottom corner just five minutes into the game. The creativity and speed of the Leonas, playing in front of packed stands at the Cenard, made lots of work for the visiting English side and in the 13th minute Jankunas doubled the Argentina lead. Jankunas thought she found her second just before first-quarter time expired, but the back-hand rip was saved by keeper Sabbie Heesh. Argentina continued to dazzle in the second quarter as Eugenia Trinchinetti’s deflection rang the post in the 22nd minute but England got to work in the other end moments later. On their third penalty corner attempt Pearne-Webb buried a shot to get England within one. England started to show some confidence in their attacking build up and just before half time Fiona Crackles charged up the right side and found Alexandra Malzer dangerously available in the circle. Belen Succi was up to the task to deny England agin. The Leonas continued to control the tempo and Delinfa Thome made it 3-1 in the third quarter. England rallied to find a response. Elena Rayer capitalized off a Barbara Dichiara mishap and unleashed a lethal back-hand shot to put England again within one, trailing 3-2. In the final quarter Gorzelany scored her fifth drag flick of the series to double Argentina’s lead. Some strong pressure from Holly Hunt and Hannah Martin looked promising for another England goal but the Leonas went unphased and Jankunas was there for another insurance marker in the final minutes of the game.
