Tim David's in great form. WA should call him up immediately.

Hahaha that's dire
David genuinely probably should be playing for WA if Turner wants some time out though (he dropped himself lol). Carder and David are probably of similar quality but picking 5-6 seamers is extremely lame.

In Associate vs Associate T20I history, if the team batting first scores >=120, they win 63% of the time
This increases to 71% of the time if the team batting first scores >=135
Win toss, bat first, win game.

And no surprise our form recently coincides with Aizaz Khan losing 7 out of 8 tosses. In 6 of those games we've had to chase. Nepal stupidly sent us in to bat first. The only chase we've won was vs Thailand. The one toss Aizaz did win, we scored 171 vs Malaysia, but then the bowling fell apart in face of a confident lineup at the end of a losing series and they chased it down.

If you remove that arbitrary 120 stat, the team batting second wins more often. Stop making up excuses, HK suck.

The 120 cut off is relevant because it shows that at associate level batsmen just don't have what it takes to maintain a greater than run a ball strike rates under pressure. It's a lot of block block bash without having the nuance to knock the ball into gaps or hit the ball into unorthodox areas.
It might be worth filtering further into the top tier associates and see what their stats are like. My experience following this level of cricket for the last year or so suggests that the batting is good enough that scores of 120+ are extremely common, but not good enough yet to where that can be chased down with the same frequency that it is scored. The path to victory as the side bowling first is to shoot them out cheaply - winning a reasonable runchase is slim
I think bowler friendly pitches are also a factor. Batsmen don't have the experience/skills to deal with pressure, and the conditions don't allow them to just slog through the line and bail themselves out
I'll happily dig up Singapore's success rate in chasing 120+ and 135+ scores later. Would also be interesting to compare it with full-member T20I stats and see how frequently sides chase 140+ and 155+ at that level.

Also another world record for Nepal yesterday - Sandeep Lamichhane bowled 22 dot balls vs. Thailand, the most ever by a single bowler in an innings in T20Is! 22 out of 24 deliveries were dots - he bowled two maidens to start with, conceded a single wide in his third over, and in his final over was hit for 2 runs and bowled a wide that went away for 4. 4-2-9-1 - 7 of which were wides.
