Nepal’s opener Kushal Bhurtel is enduring a difficult run in the ACC Premier Cup 2024. He was dismissed for zero in the third-place match against Hong Kong, following a similar outcome in the semi-final against the UAE. In both matches, Bhurtel was caught out edging good length deliveries while attempting to block.
His scoreless streak extends back to the group-stage match against Saudi Arabia. Nepal currently sits at a precarious 1 run for the loss of 1 wicket after choosing to bat first against Hong Kong. Aasif Sheikh is out for zero, leaving Sompal Kami at the crease.
