Overview
- Kushal Bhurtel smashed six consecutive sixes in the ninth over, finishing 129 off 43 balls on Sunday, May 31, 2026.
- Reports differ on the over’s total because a wide was bowled during the sequence, with some outlets listing 36 runs from six legal balls and others counting 37 including the extra.
- Nepal finished 313 for 2, hitting a combined 29 sixes, and then bowled China out for 92 to record a 221-run victory.
- The score makes Nepal the first men’s side to post 300-plus totals twice in T20Is and marks one of the largest winning margins in the format.
- Bhurtel joined the small group of players to hit six sixes in an over and his performance is likely to raise his international profile ahead of Nepal’s next qualifier match versus Malaysia on June 4, 2026.
