Nepal Vs USA Live Score, ICC Cricket World Cup League Two: US Field First; Rhinos Lose Quick Wickets|NEP 115/4 (24.5)

Another one bites the dust. Aarif Sheikh comes and goes for a score of 2 and Saurabh Netravalkar has his first wicket of the day. Nepal under pressure now as they lose their 3rd wicket in the space of just 4 overs. Onus now on skipper Rohit Paudel and Dipendra Singh Airee.

The saying is true - one brings another. Soon after Kushal Bhurtel's departure, Bhim Sharki has fallen as well and it's that man Harmeet Singh again. The spin bowler has now denied half-centuries to both Bhurtel and Sharki.

The first 100 runs are up for Nepal and it took them more than 20 overs to do so.

Oh no! Kushal Bhurtel has to depart for 47 and becomes Harmeet Singh's first scalp of the day. He handed an easy catch to Saurabh Netravalkar and the partnership has finally been broken.

Kushal Bhurtel and Bhim Sharki's partnership is getting stronger and the duo are in full control at the moment with Bhurtel inching towards a half-century.

USA bowlers are a bit under pressure from the steadiness of Kushal Bhurtel and Bhim Sharki. Runs are coming easily for Nepal at the moment as the Americans look for more breakthroughs.

The 1st batting powerplay is up and Nepal have scored 5 runs per over after the early fall of opener Aasif Sheikh. Kushal Bhurtel and Bhim Sharki have steadied the innings with their 50-run partnership.

The talented Bhim Sharki has joined Kushal Bhurtel in the middle and the duo have played some really good shots so far as they aim to put together a partnership here.

Early wicket for Nepal as opening batter Aasif Sheikh walks back after getting bowled for just 2 runs by left-arm off spinner Nosthush Kenjige.

And we are underway for the match between Nepal and USA at the Dubai International Stadium. Saurabh Netravalkar bowls a maiden first over to start things off. Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh open the batting for the Rhinos.
