Summary
Nepal are up against United Arab Emirates in the series-deciding second T20I at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur on Tuesday, April 21.
The hosts find themselves under pressure after UAE took control of the series, clinching the opener with a calm six-wicket win via the DLS method.
That first clash slipped away from Nepal early. Asked to bat, their top order folded quickly, leaving them struggling at 63 for 4.
The innings needed someone to hold it together, and captain Dipendra Singh Airee tried to do just that with a gritty 32, dragging them toward a somewhat competitive total.
But the rain refused to stay away, ending Nepal’s innings at 128 in 18.5 overs. The interruption flipped the equation, setting UAE a revised target of 78 in just 10 overs.
Even with a couple of setbacks during the chase, Muhammad Waseem stayed composed, striking 33 and steering UAE across the line with time to spare.
