Nepal posted 148 for 8, with Rohit Paudel (38) and Kushal Malla (30) providing crucial contributions. Jason Holder struck late with 4 for 20, while debutant Navin Bidaisee impressed with 3 for 29, but dropped catches kept Nepal in the contest.

West Indies Falter in the Chase

Chasing 149, West Indies started well with Kyle Mayers hitting a boundary first ball, but wickets fell regularly as Nepal’s bowlers dominated. Kushal Bhurtel’s sharp run-out of Mayers set the tone, and spinners tightened the grip during the middle overs.

Dipendra Singh Airee’s brilliant fielding added to West Indies’ woes, while Holder’s dismissal for just 5 was the final blow. Despite late big hits from Bidaisee and Akeal Hosein, West Indies couldn’t keep up with the asking rate and finished at 129 for 9.
