Church Boys United Thrash Sankata as Friends and JYC Battle to Gritty Stalemate

The National League 2082 continued on Wednesday at the ANFA Complex, Lalitpur. The day brought contrasting results: Church Boys United secured a decisive, high-scoring win, while Friends' Club and Jawalakhel Youth Club drew in a defensive battle marked by missed chances. **Friends' Club and JYC Share Points** The afternoon match was closely contested, as Friends' Club Kopundole and Jawalakhel Youth Club (JYC) finished 1-1. Friends' Club took the lead in the 16th minute through Ashish Chapagain, capitalising on early pressure. They maintained that advantage throughout a physical first half, during which goalkeeper Mausham Lungeli Magar received a yellow card. Jawalakhel Youth Club equalised early in the second half, as substitute Bikash Darlami Magar scored in the 47th minute. The remainder of the match was tactical, with both coaches making substitutions in search of a winner. Despite several late yellow cards, including two for Prashant Laksam of Friends' Club, neither team could secure victory. However, Laksam's strong midfield performance earned him Player of the Match honours. ![](https://bootballer.com/storage/media/posts/HUh6UkoU650YEd8wHm6Mvs9j7bzh0hfBIBUxyTNM.jpg) **Church Boys United Overpower Sankata Club** Church Boys United (CBU) secured a 5-2 victory over Sankata Club. Taking control in the first half, CBU led by two goals at halftime, with Rohan Karki scoring in the 28th minute and Sumit Shrestha finding the net just before the break. Shrestha, who was later named Player of the Match, added a second goal in the 79th minute to seal the win. Sankata Club responded in the second half with goals from Bibek Rai and Richard Chukwudalu Onyema. However, defensive lapses allowed CBU's Milan Rai to score as well, keeping Church Boys United in contention as the single-round robin tournament enters its final stages.

Tribhuvan Army Football Club (TAFC) showed second-half grit to secure their victory. **Sankata’s Foreign Legion Tears Through NRT** In the league’s opening match, Sankata Club quickly established control and earned a decisive 4-0 win over New Road Team (NRT). Sankata’s forwards secured the result within the first 30 minutes. National team captain Win Theingi Tun opened the scoring in just the 5th minute. The pressure remained relentless. Lucia Leila Jose doubled the lead in the 26th minute, immediately followed by a Shukriya Miya strike in the 28th. Despite NRT’s attempts to tighten their defence, Quinabaral Okosuwa Amankra added a fourth goal in the 52nd minute. This secured three points for Sankata. ![](https://bootballer.com/storage/media/posts/ivCLeubQjLyOkmQadThLcMXmZmJwAd7qKT3PBSpU.jpg) **Army Overcomes Stubborn Jhapa in Second-Half Surge** Tribhuvan Army FC eventually cruised to a 5-0 win over Jhapa FC.

Karan KC’s All-Round Heroics Put Nepal Police Club in Control of Jai Trophy Final

Karan KC’s All-Round Heroics Put Nepal Police Club in Control of Jai Trophy Final

KATHMANDU – In a tense repeat of last year’s final, Karan KC showed why he is Nepal’s top big-match performer. He scored a determined half-century and delivered a strong opening spell with the ball. This put Nepal Police Club (NPC) in control. NPC now leads Tribhuvan Army Club (TAC) as the Jai Trophy Men’s Elite Cup nears its last day. **The Great Recovery** The match started with an unusual twist: both teams ended their first innings with the same score of 221. However, each side reached that total in very different ways, setting the stage for a complex contest. NPC chose to bowl first on Day 1 and held the Army to 221 runs. But their own batting started poorly. Police struggled at 122 for 7. Most of their top order was out, and a big deficit seemed likely. Karan KC then stepped up with calm experience. He scored an important 72 from 109 balls. He built key partnerships with tail-enders Lalit Rajbanshi and Sagar Dhakal. This effort helped the team reach 221 and level the scores. His innings gave the defending champions new confidence. **The Bowling Blitz** After his batting heroics, Karan opened the bowling and quickly pressured the Army’s top order. He claimed three wickets, leaving the Army’s middle order exposed. The Army tried to fight back. Kushal Malla scored 36, Shahab Alam 33, and Bhim Sharkey 32. Then, spinners Lalit Rajbanshi and Sagar Dhakal supported Karan’s pace. Each took three wickets with accurate spin bowling. ![](https://bootballer.com/storage/media/posts/SHwlgroUGWa5FLuECHkbHkW1uTo9ziudjZbdVduL.jpg) **Match Situation at Stumps (Day 2)** At the end of the second day, the Army had a narrow lead of 178 runs with just one wicket left. Sompal Kami and Akash Chand will return to the crease tomorrow. They hope to push the lead closer to 200. **A Rivalry Renewed** This three-day final is longer than the two-day matches in the league stage. It is a rematch of last year’s title game. Last year, the Police narrowly beat the Army to win the trophy. They seem ready to do it again. The tournament includes the top four teams from the Prime Minister’s Cup: NPC, TAC, APF, and Bagmati Province. It was postponed from February due to the House of Representatives elections. Still, the high level of cricket has made the wait worthwhile.

Army Holds Edge as Police Struggle Early in Jai Trophy Final

Army Holds Edge as Police Struggle Early in Jai Trophy Final

KATHMANDU: Bowlers dominated day one of the Jai Trophy Men’s Elite Cup final at Mulpani Cricket Ground, keeping the match between Tribhuvan Army Club and Nepal Police Club evenly poised. At the end of play on Tuesday, Nepal Police Club were struggling at 41 for 3 in their first innings, still 180 runs behind after Army scored 221 earlier in the day. **The First Innings: A Collective Effort** Earlier, after the police won the toss and chose to field, their bowlers made early breakthroughs. Yet, the Army’s top and middle order soon fought back to post a defendable score, led by opener Imran Sheikh’s steady half-century. Continuing the Army’s effort with the bat, Trit Raj Das (32), Bhim Sharkey (39), and Kushal Malla (38) added useful runs after Sheikh’s solid start. Basir Ahmad’s 30 was important in the lower order, but the Army tail collapsed with three batters out for zero. The team was bowled out in 58.2 overs. On the bowling side, Rashid Khan stood out, delivering a masterclass in clinical pace bowling to take 4/17 in just 4 overs, with strong support from veteran seamers Karan KC and spinner Lalit Rajbanshi, who claimed three wickets apiece. ![](https://bootballer.com/storage/media/posts/JbEegBJH5dFg7F7OYnEc1zi9aUIePOMZk1PcjYgl.jpg) **The Response: Sompal Strikes Back** In response, when the police began their innings, the army’s bowlers made an immediate impact. Sompal Kami led the attack, dismissing Kushal Bhurtel (18) and opener Amit Shrestha (1). Building on that momentum, Akash Chand then removed Dilshad Ali (1), leaving the Police at 41 for 3. Dinesh Kharel (11 not out) and Rashid Khan (3 not out) will resume tomorrow. **Day 1 Brief Scores**: **Tribhuvan Army Club**: 221 All Out (58.2 overs) * Imran Sheikh 50+, Bhim Sharkey 39; Rashid Khan 4/17 **Nepal Police Club**: 41/3 (At Stumps) * Kushal Bhurtel 18; Sompal Kami 2/Wkts

Blue Thunder: India Demolish New Zealand to Rule the World Again

Blue Thunder: India Demolish New Zealand to Rule the World Again

AHMEDABAD – On a night of clinical execution and sheer power, India dismantled New Zealand by 96 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium, successfully defending their T20 World Cup title. The victory before a raucous home crowd cemented India as the undisputed giants of the format. From the first ball, the Men in Blue played with an aggression the Black Caps could not match. India posted 255/5—the highest ever in a World Cup final—essentially batting New Zealand out before the second innings began. The foundation of this historic total was laid by Abhishek Sharma’s blistering start. His 18-ball half-century shattered records and put immediate pressure on the Kiwi bowlers. Sanju Samson expertly continued the momentum, playing the innings of his life. Samson’s 89 off 46 balls was a masterclass in clean hitting. He struck eight towering sixes that left New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner searching for answers. Despite a brief middle-order wobble when Jimmy Neesham claimed three wickets in a single over, including captain Suryakumar Yadav for a duck, India never slowed. Shivam Dube’s late assault kept the scoreboard moving at an unrelenting pace, pushing the target into the realm of the impossible. ![](https://bootballer.com/storage/media/posts/FuIkR3kSFGh8XEBC3jLEgZ35cxYVnS4s1YftSaw0.jpg) Faced with a daunting 256-run chase, New Zealand’s reply faltered after losing their openers early. Indian spinners Axar Patel and Varun Chakaravarthy choked the scoring in the middle overs, forcing Kiwi batters into risky shots that proved costly. Tim Seifert resisted with a gritty 52 but found little support. The climbing required run rate proved overwhelming, and the New Zealand middle order crumbled under pressure and precise Indian bowling. The final act of the evening belonged to Jasprit Bumrah, who once again proved why he is considered the world’s premier fast bowler. Returning for his second spell, Bumrah decimated the lower order with a display of pinpoint yorkers and deceptive slower balls, finishing with remarkable figures of 4 for 15. When the final wicket fell in the 19th over with New Zealand stranded at 159, it signalled the start of a massive celebration across the nation. This victory not only marks India’s second consecutive T20 World Cup trophy but also sets a new gold standard for how the shortest format of the game is played on the world stage. ---
