The Seventh Place Play-off of the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers 2023 will see Ireland take on Nepal at the Takashinga Sports Club in Harare. The winner of this clash will finish in the seventh position at the World Cup Qualifiers.
Ireland had a disappointing time in the competition. They managed to win only a single game out of four in the group stages and failed to qualify for the Super Six. They beat the United States in the Seventh Place Play-Off Semi-Final and will look to carry forward the winning momentum.
The Irish bowlers bowled brilliantly and knocked over the United States on 196, with Craig Young finishing with figures of 3/35. The top-order batters then stepped up and contributed as they chased down the total in the 35th over with six wickets in hand.
Nepal also had a similar journey in the group stages. They lost three games out of four to be eliminated from the Qualifiers. They beat United Arab Emirates in the Seventh Place Play-Off Semi-Final to book a place against the Irish side on Tuesday.
Karan KC and Sandeep Lamichhane grabbed three scalps each as they knocked over UAE on 181. Dipendra Singh Airee played an outstanding knock of 79* to guide his side across the line with three wickets in hand. Nepal will be hoping that they fire in unison against Ireland in their upcoming clash.
