Nepal has given a target of 152 runs to Oman on Wednesday in the Super Six of Twenty-20 World Cup Asia-East Asia Pacific Qualifiers. After winning the toss, Nepal scored 151 runs after losing 9 wickets in the scheduled 20 overs. For the first time in the tournament, Nepal scored more than 150 runs.
Kushal Bhurtel and Asif Sheikh gave a brilliant start, but Nepal's middle-order batting again disappointed. The two added 61 runs in 8 overs. Asif scored 24 runs in 20 balls, hitting 2 fours and 1 six, before being bowled by Nadeem Khan.
Nadeem bowled captain Rohit Poudel for 1 run round the leg. Nadeem bowled brilliantly, dismissing Dipendra Singh Airi for 2 and Kushal Malla for 7 runs while taking all four wickets of Nepal. Malla, who was completely unsuccessful in this tournament, completed 1000 runs in Twenty20 Internationals during his innings.
Adil Alam Ansari scored 16 runs in 15 balls, including 3 fours. Bhurtel scored 69 runs in 51 balls. Bhurtel, who was out lbw in the 18th over, hit 7 fours and 1 six. Gulshan Jha, who hit 2 consecutive sixes in the 19th over, scored 18 runs in 10 balls. Nandan Yadav, who was run out on the last ball of the innings, scored 9 runs with 1 six in 4 balls. Sompal Kami remained unbeaten on 1 run.
From Oman, Devrehot spinner Nadeem took 4 wickets for 20 runs in 4 overs. Sufian Mehboob took 29 in 4 overs and Jiten Ramanandi took 2 wickets each for 26 runs in 4 overs.
Nepal and Oman had qualified for the World Cup even before taking the field on Wednesday after two results from the day's matches came in their favour. This is Nepal's second consecutive World Cup entry and third overall. In the first 2 matches on Wednesday, Qatar defeated Japan by 3 wickets and UAE defeated Samoa by 77 runs.
The team that wins this match will have a strong chance of winning the tournament.
