Here are his ODI stats.
Best figures in ODI cricket
The 25-year-old Ngarava made his ODI debut back in February 2017. He claimed his maiden four-wicket haul in the format and it came just at the right time. Standing in his 33rd ODI, the youngster has now raced to 37 wickets at a decent economy rate of 5.5. 20 of his ODI wickets came in 19 ODIs at an economy rate of 5.27.
How did the Nepal innings pan out?
Nepal were off to a brilliant start as openers Kushal Bhurtel (99) and Aasif Sheikh (66) added 171 runs for the opening wicket. While Kushal Malla (41) and skipper Rohit Paudel (31) also made crucial contributions, the rest of the batters could not do much. Nepal hence lost their last six wickets inside 43 runs. Besides Ngarava, Wellington Masakadza (2/42) did well.
