In the Prime Minister's Cup (PM) ODI Men's National Cricket Tournament last year, Koshi Pradesh was bowled out for just 25 runs. It was one of the great successes of Gandaki province. Sunday was just the opposite. Koshi dismissed Gandaki for 31 runs.

Gandaki could only last 20.4 overs at the extra take over ground in Tilottama. This is the second lowest score in the history of PM Cup. No player from Gandaki could make a double score . 9 runs scored by Arjun Kumal was a personal big score. Sujan Gautam scored an unbeaten 6 and Chandra Paudel scored 5. Three batters were out for zero runs.

Koshi's Bipin Mahato took 6 wickets alone. Player of the match, he spent 17 runs in eight overs keeping 3 maidens. Firdos Ansari kept 5 maidens in 8 overs for 10 runs and 3 and Dipesh Kandel took 1 wicket. 

Koshi, who had lost in the previous four matches, completed the target by losing 1 wicket in the ninth over. This is Koshi's first victory. Shakib Haque scored 16 unbeaten runs in Koshi's win. Chirag Shah scored 10 runs and was dismissed by Subas Bhandari. Sonu Ansari remained unbeaten on 4 runs .
