T20 WC: Paudel Credits Airee, Bowlers And Fans As Nepal Score Maiden Win Over Scotland
Nepal Captain Rohit Paudel: Nepal Captain Rohit Paudel gave credit to the lessons they learnt in the close defeat to England and the steely nerves shown by his bowlers and batters in the death overs for their maiden win in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in 12 attempts in the final league match against Scotland at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday.
Nepal started the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 on a rousing note with a narrow defeat to England. But they suffered demoralising defeats to the West Indies and Italy. But the win against Scotland restored some pride and will be remembered for a long time.
Nepal looked down and out as Scotland were cruising handsomely at 130/1 in the 15th over, looking at a total close to 200. But Nepal fought back bravely with Sompal Kami claiming 3-25 and Nandan Yadav bagging 2-34 as they restricted Scotland to 170/7 after electing to bowl first.
