Cricket in Nepal is like a hidden gem that’s slowly getting its shine. Currently, your sport betting in Pakistan is available at 1xBet, and here you can also wager on different sports played all across the world.
While football might be the more dominant sport in the country, cricket is becoming a bigger deal, and it’s a sport that has really brought Nepal together over the past decade or so. The passion for cricket here is intense. Here it is possible to see kids playing in places like narrow streets, open fields and even on the terraces of Kathmandu’s crowded neighborhoods.
When making your sports betting in 1xBet Pakistan, you can also wager on cricket matches played at different places too.
A Great Underdog Story
Nepal’s cricket journey has been quite the underdog story. The national team, known as the “Rhinos,” first got its big break on the international stage in 2014 when they played in the ICC World Twenty20. Don’t forget to get the 1xBet Pakistan download application, which can also help you to wager on Twenty20 cricket matches too.
This was a huge moment for them; they didn’t win the tournament, but they did grab a lot of attention by beating teams like Afghanistan and Hong Kong. Since then, they’ve been on a steady rise, gaining One Day International (ODI) status in 2018, which is no small feat for a country with limited resources for cricket. ODI matches are available to wager if you download the 1xBet Pakistan application too.
Great Talent
There’s some impressive talent coming out of Nepal too. Take Sandeep Lamichhane, for example. He is their cricket superstar. At just 17, he was picked up by the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) back in 2018, becoming the first Nepali player to join the IPL. The finest cricket bets online are featured at 1xBet, and you can also make them on IPL matches too.
Since then, Sandeep’s leg-spin has been catching eyes in leagues all over the world. His success has inspired a lot of young players in Nepal who now dream of following in his footsteps.
The Nepal’s cricket team is ranked 15th in the ICC ODI rankings and 13th in the T20I rankings as of 2024. Not bad for a country that’s still developing its cricket infrastructure. They even have their domestic T20 league, the Everest Premier League (EPL), which started in 2016 and has gained quite a following. In the last season, the league featured 6 teams.
- the Bhairahawa Gladiators;
- the Biratnagar Warriors;
- the Chitwan Tigers;
- the Kathmandu Kings XI;
- the Lalitpur Patriots;
- and the Pokhara Rhinos.
