Nepal once again delivered a weak batting performance in the Cricket World Cup League 2. After losing the toss and coming in to bat, Nepal was bowled out for 157 runs in 44.4 overs by the Netherlands in Utrecht on Thursday. In the match against Namibia on Tuesday, Nepal had also been bowled out for exactly 157 runs.
