First four balls of the last over were dots as the game shifted towards Canada. But Karan scored a six in fifth ball to make the equation 2 runs to win from 1 ball. A wide ball then meant sure that the scores were leveled. A single run in the last ball was enough to seal the victory for the Nepali team.
