Teen leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane produced the third-best figures by a Nepal bowler in T20 Internationals to set the stage for a thrilling win over Netherlands in the Oman Pentangular T20 series on Monday.
The Dutch were well placed at 97-2 in the 13th over before Lamichhane (4-20) and fast bowler Karan KC (4-17) derailed their innings, bowling the Netherlands out for 133.
Lamichhane, 19, took the important wicket of top-scorer Max O’Dowd (43) and had the second-best T20 figures by a Nepal bowler before Karan dismissed tailender Paul van Meekeren to rise to second spot and push Lamichhane to third.
The chase proved to be far from comfortable for Nepal. Only two top-order batsmen – captain Paras Khadka (33) and keeper Binod Bhandari (26) – reached double figures. It was down to seamer Karan to take his team past the finish line.
Karan hit 31 of just 14 balls with one four and three sixes to secure victory with four wickets and one ball in hand.
Lamichhane has become a well-known name across the globe with regular stints in the top T20 leagues. Karan is the highest wicket-taker in T20Is for Nepal with 29 and Lamichhane is behind him on 25.
Why are asylum seekers being housed in hotels?
The number of asylum applications in the UK has reached a new record high, driven by those illegally entering the country in small boats crossing the English Channel.
A total of 111,084 people applied for asylum in the UK in the year to June 2025, the highest number for any 12-month period since current records began in 2001.
Asylum seekers and their families can be housed in temporary accommodation while their claim is assessed.
The Home Office provides the accommodation, meaning asylum seekers cannot choose where they live.
When there is not enough housing, the Home Office can move people to hotels or large sites like former military bases.
