OUT! Bowled. Sompal Kami to Vivian Kingma. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed. That's the end of the first innings, and Nepal have done an excellent job with the ball, restricting the Netherlands to a below-par total. Nepal bowlers showed great discipline, taking wickets at regular intervals to keep the pressure on. Despite a solid 72-run partnership between Vikram Singh and Scott Edwards, the Netherlands couldn't capitalize on the platform. Sompal Kami was the pick of the bowlers, claiming three crucial wickets, ably supported by his fellow bowlers who maintained tight lines throughout the innings. Join us in 30 minutes for what promises to be an exciting run chase!
