38.1

SIX! Michael Leask to Rohit Paudel. Off break length ball, wide outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. The skipper finishes things off in style as Nepal cruise to a six-wicket win. A dominant start from the openers laid the perfect foundation with a brisk 58-run stand for the first wicket. After their departure, Ishan Pandey and Rohit Paudel stitched together a crucial partnership to put the chase firmly under control. Pandey played a fine hand of 55 before departing, but skipper Paudel took charge brilliantly, remaining unbeaten on 74 to guide his side comfortably across the line and help Nepal climb further up the points table. A disciplined bowling effort from Scotland, though the lack of runs hurt them in the end. Lalit Rajbanshi is the Player of the Match.
