Nepal Beat Scotland to Wrap up T20 World Cup Campaign
- On Tuesday, the Nepal national T20 side secured their first T20 World Cup victory by beating Scotland by seven wickets at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, with Airee unbeaten on 50 off 23 balls.
- After narrow defeats earlier in the tournament, Nepal used the final Group C closing match at Wankhede Stadium to end a 12-year T20 World Cup winless run, achieved by the Nepal national T20 side in 2014.
- Early fireworks from Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh set Nepal's chase after Scotland posted 170/7, while Gulsan Jha remained 24 not out in an unbeaten 73-run stand with Airee.
- Airee collected the player-of-the-match award and said `First of all, I would like to thank the fans. They came to India and to Mumbai and supported us a lot. I am very happy,' as thousands of Nepalese fans at Wankhede Stadium sparked rapturous scenes.
- Despite being already eliminated, the win let Nepal sign off the tournament with a memorable victory in the Group C dead rubber, and Rohit Paudel, Nepal captain, said the victory 'means a lot' and credited lessons from the England match for future improvement.
