KATHMANDU, Dec 20: Nepal have been eliminated in the Super Four of the ACC Women's U-19 Asia Cup, after losing to Bangladesh by 9 wickets in their last Super Four match on Friday.
Nepal, after defeating Pakistan and sharing points with India in the group stage, reached the Super Four. However, due to rain disruptions, Nepal shared points with Sri Lanka in their first Super Four match on Thursday. With only two points, Nepal were unable to advance to the next stage.
