Nepal Vs UAE Live Score, ICC Cricket World Cup League 2: Sharki, Sheikh Anchor Innings After Early Blow | NEP 59/1

A steady rebuild from Nepal after the early setback. Bhim Sharki and Aasif Sheikh are rotating the strike well, keeping the scoreboard ticking. The pair’s calm approach has steadied things nicely at 52/1 after 12 overs.

After losing Kushal Bhurtel in the 2nd over, Aasif Sheikh and Bhim Sharki have steadied the innings and anchoring with constant running between the wickets. UAE bowlers haven't done anything wrong so far and have kept the line and length pretty tight.

Poor start for Nepal. They have lost their first wicket in the 2nd over already. Zahid Ali strikes and sent Kushal Bhrutel back to the pavilion. Bhurtel departs for just 2.
