Jitendra Mukhiya was named the Man of the Match for his brilliant spell. That's all from this game. The Bangladesh vs Hong Kong game is up next. Join us back for that.
The Nepalese bowlers were absolutely sensational today. Sagar Pun, the part-timer was superb in his three overs while Jitendra Mukhiya was phenomenal in hitting the yorker lengths at will in the death overs. Gauchan took a couple of wickets in his first over itself and the fielding was outstanding too. Afghanistan's batting was survived by Stanizkai and Shafiqullah towards the death overs but in the end, they fell short of 9 runs.
Nepal were struggling in the first innings but then the duo of Khakurel and Vesawkar did an extremely remarkable job of first snitching a partnership, then accelerating the run-scoring in the end.
Amongst minnows itself, we have a shock win here! Afghanistan beat Bangladesh in the Asia Cup and now have been defeated by Nepal in the World T20 qualifier. That is what exactly this format does.

Sompal Kami To Mirwais Ashraf
Nepal win by 9 runs! What an emphatic victory for the less-known minnows. Length delivery angled across, Dawlat misses out and the Nepalese fielders rejoice in delight.
Dawlat Zadran walks out to face the last ball. 10 required off 1 ball.

Sompal Kami To Asghar Afghan OUT!
OUT! Stanikzai's gone! End of Afghanistan's fight and Nepal will rejoice, if not for an extra delivery. A low full toss, maximum runs were there for the taking but Stanikzai's bat turned in his hand and the ball went down the throat of Malla at long on.

Jitendra Mukhiya To Samiullah Shinwari OUT!
OUT! Nepal have been excellent on the field today and the skipper Paras Khadka himself, has taken two wonderful catches. Shenwari tries to charge out and convert the full toss but top-edges it high in the air. The ball goes towards mid on where the bowler and Khadka go towards it but Khadka calls out stronger and takes a diving catch. Outstanding!
