Nepal one of the non test playing country which have done well in the Under 19 in asian region as well as under 19 world cup having been chosen as plate champion and had very good history of beating some test playing nation like Bangladesh , Newzland and south Africa. Nepal have dominant when it played against non test playing nation but in previous tournament Nepal had failed to select for the world cup losing seminal against talented Afghanistan.

Before leaving for Bangladesh In an interview with Cricket Nepal, Prithu said the team’s aim to gain the lost glory by qualifying to the Youth World Cup. In Bangladesh Nepal loses all three matches against host Bangladesh that had taken place in Sylhet. First two match were 50 overs and lat was the 20-20 match. In first match Nepal failed against Bangladesh with the deafeat of ten wicket while in second match Nepal again lost with 145 runs. Nepal U-19 cricket team ended the Bangladesh tour with a 68-run loss in the one-off Twenty20 match against Bangladesh U-19 at Sylhet on Saturday.Though they had lost against strong Bangladesh they had learned lot from the practice match. So coach and captain are still hopeful to win the champions ship and select for world cup. “We have learned a lot from here. We got an opportunity to face a tough spinner and came to know that we have to improve a lot in batting,” said jagat Tamata who have been appointed as a coach after Nepal said good bye to the srilankan coach Roy dias.

| Japanese player celebrating with Asian cup 2011 |
Japan also the contender of world cup 2010 from Asia have won the 2011 Asian Cup with an extra-time 1-0 win over Australia in Doha.
 |
| goal keeper of japan Eiji Kawashima |
The Blue Samurai notched up an unprecedented fourth title thanks to a 109th minute Tadanari Lee volley, giving manager Alberto Zaccheroni his first piece of silverware in less than six months in the job.A left-foot volley in the 109th from Lee when he was left completely unmarked 10 meters (yards) from Australia's goal. Lee had always on the planet to completely time his volley from a go by way of defender Yuto Nagatoma and fire it prior Australia goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer.Australia could only have themselves to blame as they missed a host of chances throughout proceedings but Japan held firm in defence, led by goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima, and eventually ran out winners to qualify themselves for the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil.

Australian after their semifinal win against Uzbekistan were supposed to win the title by many vieweres went wrong and the people in Khalifa stadium cheered for japan for their winning sprit.It is the fourth time in asian cup histroy japan have been crowned as champions.
