The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 match between Nepal and the United States of America set a new joint record.
The USA team were restricted by Nepal for a joint-lowest ODI score of 35 on Wednesday at Kirtipur.
Batting first, the USA batsmen managed to stick for just 12 overs on the crease, with opener Xavier Marshall being the top-scorer with a knock of 16 runs.
The rest 9 batsmen were bundled out in single digits as Nepal spinner Sandeep Lamichhane emerged as the top wicket-taker with figures of 6 for 16 to his name.
Lamichhane was helped by Sushan Bhari to remove the remaining four batsmen by giving away just 5 runs.
Chasing the total, Nepal took only 5.2 overs to score 36 runs. They also lost two batsmen in the process.
Nepal's Paras Khadka (20 off 12) and Dipendra Singh Airee (15 off 11) remained unbeaten to guide the team to a historic victory.
