Nepal innings (target: 278 runs from 50 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
G Malla	c Ashfaq Ahmed b Amir Hayat	24	41	25	1	0	96.00
9.1 short ball outside the off stump, looked like a harmless delivery. Malla stands tall and tires to hit it past the fielder at short midwicket but fails to get enough bat on it and Ashfaq there reacts quickly and takes it at full stretch to his top left. 38/2
D Nath†	b Rohan Mustafa	13	38	29	2	0	44.82
8.5 quicker delivery on the stumps, Nath swing wild as he goes down on on keen... missed it completely and the ball crashes into the stumps 38/1
P Khadka*	not out	112	164	103	3	8	108.73

DS Airee	b Imran Haider	35	67	66	0	2	53.03
27.2 Imran strikes! quicker delivery and on the stumps, Airee is beaten trying to defend it and that's the end of a good partnership. 111/3
S Vesawkar	c Imran Haider b Amir Hayat	30	37	37	3	0	81.08
37.6 one could see this coming! Vesawkar was struggling to get the ball away for runs and the pressure was showing... this one is pitched up outside the off stump and he tires to hit it over the fielder at mid-off but ends up looping it straight to the fielder there. Amir Hayat with the breakthrough for UAE. 174/4
Aarif Sheikh	c Ahmed Raza b Imran Haider	7	13	11	0	0	63.63
40.4 did I say sensible cricket! lots one straight down the throat of deep midwicket. Should have left the hitting to his captain and just looked to rotate the strike 186/5
RK Paudel	c Rohan Mustafa b Amir Hayat	23	21	17	3	0	135.29
45.1 slower delivery outside the off stump, Paudel drags it from outside off and hits it in the air on the leg side. Fielder at midwicket paddles back and takes a good high catch. 228/6
Karan KC	b Amir Hayat	2	4	2	0	0	100.00
45.5 full and on the stumps, Karan swings but makes no contact and the stumps are in disarray... well bowled Hayat. No fairytale ending for Karan today but Nepal is still in the game with Paras out there. 234/7
Sompal Kami	c Rameez Shahzad b Ahmed Raza	6	4	4	1	0	150.00
46.4 what a catch! lofted away too deep midwicket as Kami tries to move things along... not hit well and the ball goes high and not far enough..Rameez Shahzad running in from deep midwicket put in a good forward dive and takes it inches away from the ground. 241/8
B Regmi	not out	5	16	6	0	0	83.33
