OUT! Run Out. Jaspreet Singh to Lalit Rajbanshi. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to short extra cover, direct hit by Manenti. Nepal's innings comes to a close with a mix of promising starts and missed opportunities. The top order showed intent, with Rohit Paudel and Aarif Sheikh providing some momentum, but regular wickets kept breaking their rhythm. Dipendra Singh Airee and Aasif Sheikh looked steady for a while, yet neither could convert into a big score. The middle and lower order struggled against disciplined bowling, particularly from Crishan Kalugamage, who picked up crucial breakthroughs and kept the run rate in check. Ben Manenti's tight spell also applied pressure, while Ali Hasan and Jaspreet Singh chipped in with timely strikes. Karan KC's late hitting gave Nepal a brief spark, but two run-outs and a collapse in the final overs meant the innings ended abruptly. Join us shortly for the run chase.
