Nepal, Qatar agree to increase cooperation in various sectors
The governments of Nepal and Qatar on Wednesday reached agreements on bilateral cooperation in various sectors.
Captain of the Nepal men’s cricket team Paras Khadka has become the first person from the Himalayan country to score a hundred in the shortest format of the game. In a Tri-series T20I encounter against Singapore, Paras Khadka’s hundred helped Nepal register a comfortable win by nine wickets.
Khadka also became the first captain to have scored a century in T20I cricket while chasing a total. The 31-year-old cricketer remained not out on 106 which he had accumulated in 52 deliveries. His superb knock included as many as seven boundaries and nine sixes. Nepal, who were set a target of 152 runs in 20 overs, reached the total in just 16 overs, courtesy a brilliant hundred from Nepal captain.
Khadka required only 49 balls to reach his hundred and thereby became the fourth-fastest Asian to slam a T20I hundred. Earlier, Singapore had elected to bat first and put up a total of 151/3 in 20 overs.
