Sandeep Lamichhane is Nepal’s most notable cricketer and the country’s inaugural IPL participant.

He is known for his sharp googlies and precise control, and he has won matches on a consistent basis.

Here are the top 3 bowling performances of Sandeep Lamichhane in cricket:

3. 6/11 vs Papua New Guinea,

Sandeep Lamichhane shone against Papua New Guinea, taking 6 for 11 and smashing through their batting lineup. The PNG batters struggled to deal with his control and sharp variations. 

Nepal had batted first at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground Oman Cricket (Ministry Turf 1) ground and posted 233 thanks to 86 by Rohit Paudel and forties from Gyanendra Malla (45) and Karan KC (42). In response, Lamichhane ran through PNG batting with 6/11 in 5.1 overs. No PNG batter crossed the 19-run mark made by Tony Ura. In the end, Nepal won the game by 151 runs.

2. 5/9 vs Kenya, 2022

Lamichhane ripped through Kenya’s batting order in Nairobi. He exploited his variations effectively, combining leg-breaks and googlies to cause a middle-order collapse. It was a masterclass in T20 bowling, complete with accurate lines, flight, and constant pressure. 

Kenya had chosen to bat first after winning the toss, and Lucas Olouch top-scored with 29, and Collins Obuya made 20 runs. Kenya made 101 runs in 20 overs, with Lamichhane picking 5/9 in four overs. However, his efforts were in vain as Nepal lost the game after being restricted to 94/9 with Rohit Paudel making 47.

1. 6/16 vs USA, 2020

This encounter between the USA and Nepal was part of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 and was played in 2020 in Kirtipur. Nepal won the toss and chose to bowl first. The USA was shot out for 35 runs, thanks to Lamichhane’s 6/16 and Sushan Bhari’s 4/5.

Nepal won the match with ease by eight wickets despite losing the openers for cheap. Every over Sandeep bowled tightened the noose around the batting side, shredding the American lineup. His dominance, composure, and relentless pressure were demonstrated in this pivotal moment in his ODI career. The batters’ lives were ruined by his unwavering accuracy and cunning.
