Nepal Cricket Association (CAN) has appointed South African coach Nic Pothas as a consultant coach of the Nepali national cricket team for the ICC Cricket World Cup League-2 to be held in Scotland.

Issuing a statement on Thursday, CAN has stated that Pothas has been appointed as the consultant for the national cricket team.

Previously, he was associated with the national teams of Sri Lanka, West Indies and Bangladesh.

The Nepali national men's cricket team is preparing for a triangular series under the ICC Cricket World Cup League-2.

Nepal, Scotland and the Netherlands are playing in the Triangular Series to be held in Scotland from June 2-12.

With the guidance of Pothas, the Nepal team is expected to play their best with improvement in the performance, CAN said.

Josh Inglis and Priyansh Arya scored stereo fifties as Punjab Kings defeat Mumbai Indians by seven wickets to go to the top of the points table and guarantee themselves a top 2 finish. After Arya and Inglis departed late into the match, skipper Shreyas Iyer anchored the innings and dragged PBKS over the line, The Indian Express reported.

Suryakumar Yadav anchored the Mumbai Indians innings yet again with a half century as they posted 184/7 against the Punjab Kings on Monday. Except for SKY, the MI batters couldn’t convert their starts with PBKS bowlers keeping them on a lease. Vijaykumar Vyshak, Arshdeep Singh and Marco Jansen all took 3 wickets apiece to keep MI under 200 runs.

Shreyas Iyer won the toss and said that the Punjab Kings will be bowling first against Mumbai Indians at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. With Gujarat Titans dropping more points on Sunday, it presented a golden chance to Mumbai or Punjab to finish in the Top 2, according to The Indian Express.

Sunrisers Hyderabad has beaten Kolkata Knight Riders by 110 runs. Chasing a mammoth total of 278, Kolkata Knight Riders were bundled out for 168 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday. Harsh Dubey was the pick of the bowlers for SRH with three wickets, The Indian Express reported.

Earlier, skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first. Heinrich Klaasen has scored a blistering ton to help SRH post 278/3. The innings came after the foundation laid by Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma.

Both sides are already out of the playoff race even before today’s game. Hence, the result of this game is inconsequential in terms of the playoffs, according to The Indian Express.

Liverpool signed off their Premier League title-winning season on Sunday with a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace, as Mohamed Salah's late equaliser cancelled out Ismaila Sarr's opener at a jubilant Anfield, Reuters reported.

With the league wrapped up with four games to spare, Sunday's match was played in a celebratory atmosphere and Palace fans – still on a high from last weekend's FA Cup final triumph – joined in with an early chant of "champions".

"It's always special to win something, but at certain clubs maybe a little bit more," Liverpool boss Arne Slot said.

"I experienced this at Feyenoord where the fans are so passionate, and it's the same and more over here."

Sarr slotted home in the ninth minute after he was found in acres of space by Tyrick Mitchell, who had intercepted a loose pass from Conor Bradley, but conceding barely made a dent in the party, according to Reuters.
