A four-wicket burst by pacer Dilon Heyliger powered Canada to a smooth 63-run win over Nepal during the first-round warm-up matches ahead of the T20 World Cup here on Tuesday. Asked to bat first, Canada, who are set to make their debut in the marquee ICC event, made 183 for seven aided by Nicholas Kirton's 51 and Ravinderpal Singh's unbeaten 41 off 17 balls. Heyliger (4/20) then ripped through the Nepal line-up as they could only make 120 before getting bowled out with three balls to spare. After the early return of Aaron Johnson, Kirton and Navneet Dhaliwal revived their innings with a half-century stand for the second wicket. Heyliger (13) also chipped in with the bat, helping Ravinderpal to make 48 for the unbroken eighth wicket partnership. The 34-year-old later returned to rattle Nepal with the ball in a fine spell.

Nepal's Lamichhane likely to miss T20 WC after US embassy denies him visa

Nepal's high-profile cricketer Sandeep Lamichhane on Wednesday claimed that the US embassy has denied him visa for the upcoming T20 World Cup, where he was hoping to make a comeback to international cricket following his acquittal in a rape case. In a huge setback to his career, Lamichhane, the only cricketer from Nepal to have played in IPL, was arrested in September 2022 on allegations of raping an 18-year-old girl. He was later released on bail but remained suspended from domestic and international cricket. Exactly a week ago, the 23-year-old leg-spinner was acquitted by an appeals court following which the ICC allowed the Nepal cricket board to add him to the World Cup squad. "And the @USEmbassyNepal did it again what they did back in 2019, they denied my Visa for the T-20 World Cup happening in USA and West Indies. Unfortunate. I am sorry to all the well wishers of Nepal Cricket. @USAmbNepal @CricketNep," Lamichhane posted on X, quoting an earlier post when he was denied visa i
