Royal Gurkhas Cricket Club

Silver Ray Realty- Brisbane

First of all, huge congratulations to both the teams who have qualified for the finale of the Nice T20 Cup.

Especially to Nepalese Rhino Cricket Club for securing their ticket in such… unforgettable circumstances.
And of course, a standing ovation to the ever-so-professional Queensland Nepalese Cricket Association-QNCA for brilliantly forgetting to even mention the Final Round 2 (Semi-Final) clash between
Royal Gurkhas Cricket Club and Rhinos last Sunday.

Maybe it wasn’t important enough? No worries, we’ll handle the match report ourselves.

Here’s the “not-so-important” summary:

After losing the toss, Royal Gurkhas Cricket Club was sent in to bat on a slippery, rain-affected pitch. While the weather tried its best to stop us, our boys stood firm and posted a commanding 182 runs. Captain Sam led from the front with a classy half-century. Superb batting support from Jigar Jadav, Krishna, and Pawan Jung Karki , pure grit on a dangerous surface.

Chasing 183, the excitement lasted a breathtaking 1.2 overs before the match was officially called off. And just like that, Rhino Cricket Club secured their place in the finale.

Despite a fighting total and outstanding batting performances, the Man of the Match award unanimously goes to “The Rain”. Truly match-winning stuff.
We won’t talk about “ कर्मा ”

We are fighters , we fight till the very end.

Yes, we remember the match where we chose not to continue after a red card was shown to the umpires.

And yes, we also remember how eager some were to play on while one of our warriors lay on the field with a broken and dislocated shoulder. Compassion clearly wasn’t in everyone’s game plan ,winning at any cost seemed more important.

That was the first innings.

This time, the innings was complete ,and survival lasted only 1.2 overs.

Anyway, what goes around comes around. We are Gurkhas. We come from behind, and when we return, we return harder. Period.

Lastly, heartfelt thanks to Silver Ray Realty- Brisbane and AR O ON for all the constant support and belief in Royal Gurkhas Cricket Club.

Jay Gurkhas 🙏

MATCH UPDATE – ROYAL GURKHAS vs NICE Nepalese Cricket Club Brisbane

NCCB won the toss and decided to send us in to bowl first.Our boys stepped up with discipline, focus, and that calm गोर्खा attitude we’re proud of.

Bowling Highlights:

Captain Sam struck early with two quick wickets, putting immediate pressure on the NCCB top order. He bowled like a man who had absolutely no intention of dragging the game out.
Basically:
“Stay focused, lads. Keep building.”
And sometimes: “मूला, wrap it up boys. I’ve got Muffin waiting.”

Then came Rupan Rayamajhi “The Mystery Spinner”. He delivered an outstanding spell: 4 overs, 3 wickets, only 8 runs.
Flight, dip, precision—he had everything going. Even the most settled batters were being tested. A proper, well-earned spell of quality bowling.
NCCB didn’t give in easily though. They fought back well and reached 106 runs, showing real determination and making sure the game stayed competitive.

The Chase:

Anish Baniya opened with a calm, grounded presence—exactly what the chase needed.
Pawan Jung Karki and Jigar Jadav backed him up beautifully, timing the ball cleanly and hitting boundaries with confidence.
We got to the target in 13.4 overs, losing 4 wickets along the way.

A big thank you to Arun Tiwari and Silver Ray Realty- Brisbane for their continued support. We do the work on the field, but the journey is always shared with those who stand behind us.

Man of the Match:
🏅 Rupan Rayamajhi — for his brilliant, match-changing spell of mystery spin.

जय गोर्खा 🙏

Nice Builds Premier Cup – Match 1

Royal Gurkhas CC vs Nepali Warriors
Our first match was a special one, playing against a team that shares the same history and friendship with us. We lost the toss and were asked to bowl in overcast conditions, but our bowlers did a great job and kept Warriors to 83 runs.

Bowling Highlights:

• Sam Pokhrel led from the front with an outstanding 3/14 from 3.1 overs.
• Rupan Rayamajhi was exceptional , picking up 3 wickets for just 11 runs in his full 4 overs.
• Nabodit Chhetri and Aashish Poudel chipped in with a wicket each.
• Tight spells all around helped restrict the opposition early.

Chasing 84 was tough, but important runs from Jigar (26), Rupan (13), and Aashish (10) helped us win by just 3 wickets.

Man of the Match: Rupan Rayamajhi
For his all-round performance with 3 wickets and a crucial 13 not out*.

Big respect to Warriors for a good, hard-fought game. Always great playing against our brothers.

Attention. Another on👇👇

The Royal Gurkhas have a new fast bowler.
He doesn’t talk. He delivers. Calm off the field but fierce on it — he doesn’t need words or attitude.
Every delivery speaks for itself.
Ego has no place here — only discipline and purpose.
Welcome Mr. Sangam, the new force in our ranks.
At Royal Gurkhas, we don’t chase fame. We build name.
Jay Gurkhas 🙏

"Krishna, The Pacer, Who?"...Say Hello to the Spin King!

Well, well, well… Looks like our Krishna decided to take his pace bowling talents over to the rival camp. I mean, who needs a fast bowler when you can have a spin wizard, right? 🤷‍♂️

But don’t worry, we’ve got a new Krishna in our gang! And this one’s got a completely different kind of magic up his sleeve. Forget the pace, folks – we’ve got a spin maestro ready to bamboozle the opposition with every turn!

Our new allrounder might not be sending thunderbolts down the track, but when it comes to turning the game, he’s the one to watch. So, while our old Krishna might’ve been fast and furious, this new Krishna is about to spin the wheel of victory for us.

To our new star, welcome to the Gurkha family! We’re excited to see you bring that spin magic and take us to new heights. No pressure, but… the old Krishna had pace, so you better bring spin in full force!

Here’s to the power of brotherhood, a little spin on the ball, and a whole lot of victories ahead.
Welcome aboard, champ!
Jay Gurkhas 💪🏽
