We have seen several modes of celebration in sports and celebrating in different ways is common in cricket. While the custom of celebrating a win in cricket started in the early days, it had become a regular aspect of the game in the last few decades as well. And, in recent times, players come up with different ways of celebrating their success – be it batting, bowling, or fielding. However, in recent times, the ‘Pushpa celebration’ made headlines. Be it men’s cricketers or women, all are effortlessly doing it on the field.

As far as the first semi-final is concerned, Nepal has done exceptionally well. They restricted the opponent to a below-par total of 81 runs. And, courtesy should go to the bowlers, especially Ashmina Karmacharya, who picked up her maiden fifer. Apart from her, Indu Barma bowled brilliantly in the middle overs, taking 3/16 in her four overs as well.
