Zimbabwe's U19 side may have beaten Nepal in their warm-up match, but the Himalayan side extracted sweet revenge in when they met in the Plate Championship on Sunday. Having been put in to bat when Zimbabwe won the toss, Nepal posted 158 from 45.1 overs - not a great total, and one that should have been chasable. Puspa Thapa top-scored on 40, while Edzai Jaure and Stewart Matsika both took 3/34. In reply, Zimbabwe collapsed (as usual) to a platry 59 all out from 27.2 overs.

Zimbabwe now meet Malaysia on Tuesday (26th) as part of the play-offs for 13th-16th place in the competition, and Zim must now be facing the real possibility of finishing last in the competition.
Nepal U19 158 (45.1 overs; Thapa 40, Jaure 3/34), Zimbabwe U19 59 (27.2 overs; Chimbambo 20, Khadka 3/13. Nepal U19 win by 99 runs.
