Dipendra Singh Airee: Dipendra Singh Airee struck a brilliant unbeaten half-century as Nepal fought back twice -- with ball and bat -- to overpower Scotland by seven wickets in a last-over thriller in Match 33 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday.

This is Nepal's first win at the T20 World Cup in 12 attempts, and left Scotland, the last-minute replacements for Bangladesh, ruing the missed opportunity. They had lost all their matches in the 2024 edition.

Airee hammered an unbeaten 50 off 23 balls, smashing four boundaries and three maximums and with vital contributions from Kushal Bhurtel (43 off 35), Aasif Sheikh (33 off 27) and Kushal Jha (24 not out off 17), helped Nepal race to a memorable victory in their final league match.
