Sam Curran to Lokesh Bam. Reverse Swing-Out full toss, off stump deep in crease driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off for 1 run, fielded by Bethell. England edged past Nepal in a nail-biting thriller, as they clinch victory by four runs. Full credit to Nepal, who fought valiantly and kept the chase alive right until the final ball. Kushal Bhurtel provided a sparkling start in the powerplay, though he couldn't convert it into a substantial score. The partnership between Rohit Paudel and Dipendra Singh Airee steadied the innings and showcased real class. Lokesh Bam's terrific knock brought Nepal within touching distance, but he fell short of steering his side to glory. For England, Adil Rashid, usually their trump card, went wicketless, while Liam Dawson chipped in with two crucial breakthroughs. The standout, however, was Sam Curran, who held his nerve brilliantly in the final over under immense pressure to seal the win for his team. Will Jacks is the Player of the Match.
