Kathmandu, December 24
Nepal’s Sandeep Lamichhane impressed again on Monday taking three wickets in his second match of the Big Bash League against the Hobart Hurricanes.
Lamichhane, who took two wickets in the first game on Friday was the pick of the bowlers for his team Melbourne Stars. However, his effort was not enough to secure a win for Melbourne.
Alex Doolan, who didn’t read the leg spinner’s googly, was Lamichhane’s first victim. Doolan left a big gap between the bat and pad and the ball sneaked through as he played against the turn.
The young leggie then made Aussie wicketkeeper Mathew Wade play a rash shot giving his team hope. Wade top-edged a sweep straight to short fine leg. Lamichhane’s googly was fruitful once again as he trapped Ben McDermott to claim his third wicket.
Lamichhane finished with figures of 3-24 in his four overs bowling nine dot balls in the process. Lamichhane now has five wickets to his name in the Big Bash League.
