17 April, Nepal defeated Namibia by five wickets for their maiden victory in the ICC World Cricket League Championship on Saturday. For the Nepali cricketers, it was a double delight, as they achieved the feat in front of a home crowd at TU cricket ground in Kirtipur. In an eight-team tournament that offers 2018 ICC World Cup Qualifiers spot to the top four 
teams, the first victory lifted Nepal to the sixth position from eighth on net run-rate after being tied on two points with Namibia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Nepal will take on Namibia once again on Monday where another victory can push them to the fifth position.
