| 12.5 : 12.5: Kagiso Rabada to Aasif Sheikh, SIX! Wow, that is probably the shot of the match and that's gone out of the park.

Nepal doing it in style at the moment. |

| 17.3 : 17.3: Tabraiz Shamsi to Dipendra Singh Airee, OUT! CAUGHT! Bowls it flat and spins it down the leg. Dipendra Singh Airee gets across the line to sweep this away but gets a faint edge on the glove. |

Ottneil Baartman bowls it short again, around off. Jha plays and misses again. The batters look to scamper for a bye as de Kock throws it at the bowler's end. Heinrich Klaasen collects it quickly and knocks down the stumps. Gulshan Jha is short of his crease and Nepal fails to get over the line. Soo close and yet soo far for Nepal. |
