Nepal continued their winning streak in the ACC Women’s U19 Premier Cup 2026 with a commanding 151-run victory over Singapore. The match, held at the YSD UKM Oval in Bangi, Malaysia, saw Nepal produce a dominant all-round performance.

After electing to bat, Nepal amassed an imposing 199 runs without losing a wicket in their allotted 20 overs. This remarkable feat was anchored by an unbroken 199-run opening partnership between Sana Praveen and Sabitri Dhami. Praveen narrowly missed a century, finishing unbeaten on 98 off 70 balls, while Dhami provided strong support with an unbeaten 78 off 53 balls. Nepal's high score was also aided by 23 extras from Singapore's wayward bowling, including 19 wides.

Chasing a daunting target of 200, Singapore's batting lineup faltered against Nepal's disciplined bowling attack. They were reduced to 48 for eight in 20 overs, with Ankitha Varsha Raj top-scoring with 19. Nepal's bowlers were relentless, with Anu Kadayat delivering a standout performance, taking four wickets for just three runs in her four-over spell. Manisha Upadhayay contributed two wickets for nine runs, and Riya Sharma also impressed with two for 10. The innings unraveled quickly, with Nepal claiming four wickets for a mere one run in the final two overs.

This victory follows Nepal's equally dominant win against Qatar by 105 runs in their opening match of the campaign.
