Kathmandu/Scotland – Nepal’s bowlers delivered a dominant performance, restricting Scotland to a modest total in the ongoing match of the Tri-Nation T20 International Series at the Titwood Stadium in Scotland.
After losing the toss and being sent in to bat first, Scotland were bowled out for just 97 runs in 19.4 overs. The hosts struggled against Nepal’s disciplined bowling attack, with only Michael Leask (46), Matthew Cross (15), and Brandon McMullen (10) reaching double digits. No other Scottish batter could offer significant resistance.
Nepal’s spin sensation Sandeep Lamichhane was the star of the innings, taking 4 wickets for just 11 runs, including a maiden over in his four-over spell. Dipendra Singh Airee and Karan KC also made crucial contributions, claiming 2 wickets each.
With this performance, Nepal has been set a target of 98 runs, a manageable chase given their strong batting lineup. The team will look to capitalize on their bowlers’ efforts and secure a win in this important fixture of the tri-series.
