Sandeep Lamichhane is three wickets shy of becoming the first bowler with 100 League-2 wickets

Sandeep Lamichhane continues to etch his name in the annals of Nepali cricket history. Already Nepal's leading wicket-taker in both one-day and T20 internationals, he is now poised to achieve another significant milestone: becoming the first bowler to claim 100 wickets in the ICC CWC League-2.

This remarkable feat underscores Lamichhane's consistent brilliance and his status as arguably Nepal's most accomplished bowler. His recent performance against the UAE, where he took two crucial wickets, brought his League-2 tally to 97. This achievement came during a vital match in the ongoing tri-series, where Nepal secured a much-needed victory, demonstrating the team's resilience despite a modest batting total.

The match itself highlighted the competitive nature of League-2. While Nepal's batters struggled to post a commanding score, their bowlers, led by Karan KC's four wickets and Lamichhane's crucial contributions, defended the total effectively. The UAE's middle order showed fight, but ultimately, Nepal's disciplined bowling secured the win. For Nepali cricket fans, Lamichhane's pursuit of this new record is a source of immense pride and a symbol of the nation's growing prowess on the international stage.
