Nepal Beat Scotland by Six Wickets to Climb League 2 Table

The win lifts Nepal to fifth in League 2, strengthening their push for a top-four berth.

Overview

Nepal, who won Monday in Kirtipur, reached 199 for 4 in 38.1 overs after bowling Scotland out for 194.
Captain Rohit Paudel anchored the chase with 74 not out and Ishan Pandey added 55 after a brisk start from Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh.
Scotland’s 194 was built on Brandon McMullen’s 73 off 44 balls and Michael English’s 51 as Lalit Rajbanshi took 4 for 32 and Sandeep Lamichhane claimed 3 for 47.
