Favorites Bahrain lived up to their billing as they overwhelmed underperforming Nepal 5-0 in the first leg of the  2026  FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and the 2027 AFC Asian  Cup in Bahrain.   The Middle Eastern outfit  controlled the proceedings from start to finish.They dominated every aspect of the game and stamped their authority on the match. They rightly punished the opponent for their sluggish,sloppy and lackluster performance.  They barely had to break a sweat on their way to an unexpected easy victory. In other words it was a cakewalk for them.   They made the most of their physical, technical and tactical advantages.

Currently they are going through a prolonged slump.It  has been  a story of one disappointment after another in international competitions.The declining fortunes of football in the country is palpable. The recent 1-4 defeat against Malaysia in a friendly match further exposed Nepal’s vulnerability.

They had ample time t...

The team had a hectic schedule as they participated in three  tournaments consecutively in a little over a month.  Since Nepal hosted the tournaments cricket  buffs across the country had  a heightened air of  expectancy. Nepal’s recent success on home turf had local fans optimistic about their  team’s chances. The ICC Men’s Cricket  World  Cup  League 2024/27 and T20 International Triangular series featuring Nepal,the Netherlands and Namibia  were the bigger and important tournaments. The  two unofficial one day international series against Canada provided  a perfect platform to emerging  players knocking on the selectors door.  For the second one day series against Canada, Cricket Association of Nepal fielded Nepal A,comprising experienced players and rising stars who have been performing consistently in domestic  a...
