                      Nepal on a roll to be 1st in the competition. Nepal secured their promotion to Division 3 by winning their fifth consecutive game in Kuala Lumpur, beating Denmark by 25 runs on the D/L method. Nepal opener Anil Mandal scored 113 but had little support from his team-mates - Sharad Vesawkar's 27 was the next best score - and they were dismissed for 240 in 50 overs. Their last man, Sanjam Regmi, was out obstructing the field. Bashir Shah was the pick of the Denmark bowlers, taking 1 for 33 in ten overs.
                      Denmark's chase was interrupted by rain after 25 overs, when they were 77 for 3, and the revised target was 156 in 31 overs. They lost Andreas Lambert for 47 off the first ball after the resumption and were evertually restricted to 130 for 9. Nepal's captain Paras Khadka took 4 for 34 in six overs while Shakti Gauchan was extremely economical, taking 1 for 17 in a ten-over spell.

Nepal doing well in division 4


Nepal in a roll to qualify  for 2013 Division Three and final with impressive run rate of +2.465 wining all four matches. Nepal maintained their winning run in the tournament with a 32-run win over USA at the Kinrara Oval in Kualalumpur. 
The star of Nepal's fourth consecutive win was 19-year old opener Subash Khakurel, who scored only the second century ever in WCL division 4. Khakurel's 115 was ably supported by contributions from the top order and although Nepal lost quick wickets towards the end, they managed to put up 258 on board. 
USA were kept alive in the by Sushil Nadkarni's 84, but a five-wicket haul by Basanta Regmi ensured that Nepal held on to the top spot in the points table.
Khakurel, who was declared Man of the Match, said: "I'm feeling great after scoring this century because I was a bit worried due to the swing from the pace bowlers at the beginning, but I managed to build my confidence by picking lots of singles and build from there."
