A dominant India continued their winning streak and defeated Nepal by eight wickets to storm into the semi-finals of the fifth Blind Cricket World Cup at the Eden Garden Cricket Ground in Ajman yesterday. Electing to bat, Nepal could muster only 156 in 37.5 overs for the loss of nine wickets as India dished out a fine bowling and fielding effort.
For India, Prakash Jayaramiah took two wickets conceding 22 runs while skipper Ajay Reddy, Rambir, Prem Kumar and Jafar Iqbal picked up a wicket each. India then chased down the target by losing just two wickets. Ajay Gariya (B2) scored 54 of 29 balls and struck six fours. Mehender remained unbeaten on 40 off 30 deliveries while Rambir played an unconquered knock of 38 in 23 balls. India will now play Bangladesh in the semi-final on January 17.
