OUT! Caught. Jason Holder to Karan KC. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, caught by Forde. That will be the end of the first innings. Nepal have struggled early, losing wickets in clusters, which put them under pressure. The captain and top order couldn't settle, leaving the middle order with a heavy burden. Dipendra Singh Airee stood tall with a composed and aggressive knock, anchoring the innings and providing much-needed stability. Sompal Kami added late fireworks, ensuring Nepal reached a competitive total despite the early setbacks. On the bowling side, West Indies kept things tight. Matthew Forde was particularly economical, while Jason Holder's experience shone through with crucial breakthroughs. The spinners chipped in at key moments, and overall, the attack maintained control even when Airee threatened to shift momentum. The target isn't massive, but Nepal's bowlers will need early wickets and disciplined lines to make this contest interesting. Join us shortly for the run chase.
