Nepal had set a target of 114, with Bhutan only able to reach 8-62 in their 20 overs, having lost two wickets after just one ball.<\/p>\n
After Ngawana Choden was bowled with the opening delivery of the innings, Ritshi Choden came in at No.3 but appeared to be unprepared.<\/p>\n
She could be seen holding her helmet in her hands as she rushed out to the crease, but then was not shown reaching the wicket as the Nepalese players spoken to the umpires.<\/p>\n
After an animated discussion they began celebrating, with the umpire seemingly begrudgingly calling for the timed out dismissal because Choden had not reached the crease in time.<\/p>\n

Nepal apologised for the legal but controversial move on social media afterwards.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe incident involving the timed-out dismissal of a Bhutanese batter during today\u2019s match does not reflect the values and spirit of cricket that the Cricket Association of Nepal strives to uphold,\u201d the Cricket Association of Nepal said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn behalf of the Cricket Association of Nepal, we extend our sincere apologies for the actions of our Women\u2019s National Team in this matter. While the dismissal was effected within the Laws of Cricket, we recognise that the spirit of the game extends beyond the written laws and must remain central to our conduct at all times.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a developing cricketing nation, we place the utmost importance on sportsmanship, mutual respect and fair play. We acknowledge that this incident has fallen short of those standards and regret any disappointment it may have caused.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe convey our sincere apologies to Bhutan Cricket, the player concerned, and all relevant stakeholders. CAN remains firmly committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and the spirit of cricket, both on and off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nepal\u2019s cricket association has apologised for going against the spirit of the game after its women\u2019s team successfully…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":715560,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,85,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-715559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=715559"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715559\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/715560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=715559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=715559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=715559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
