OUT! Caught. Junaid Siddique to Dipendra Singh Airee. Reverse Swing-In length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, caught by Sharma. That brings us to the end of the first innings, and Nepal managed to post a decent total on the board. Much of the credit goes to Dipendra Singh Airee, who anchored the innings brilliantly with a well-compiled 75, guiding his side out of early trouble despite only limited support from the rest of the batting lineup. In contrast, the United Arab Emirates made an excellent start with the ball, striking three crucial blows during the powerplay and maintaining consistent pressure through disciplined bowling. Their ability to control the middle overs ensured Nepal couldn't fully capitalise on the platform. Join us back for the run chase shortly.

OUT! Caught. Karan KC to Ajay Kumar. Short, wide outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid on, caught by Paudel. Nepal clinch a convincing 37-run victory over the UAE, bowling them out for 163 in what turned out to be a disciplined all-round performance. Chasing a modest target, the UAE never quite found momentum, with the top order failing to establish any meaningful partnerships. There were brief sparks of resistance in the middle order, as Harpreet Singh, Akshdeep Nath, and Muhammad Waseem each played fighting hands, but their efforts lacked the support needed to mount a serious chase. Nepal's bowling unit deserves full credit for maintaining relentless pressure throughout. Karan KC was the standout performer, ripping through the lineup with a superb four-wicket haul, while the rest of the attack backed him up effectively throughout. Dipendra Singh Airee is the Player of the Match.
