19.2: Brad Wheal to Gulshan Jha, FOUR! A historic moment for Nepal! They have pulled it off, and in some style. The noise at Wankhede Stadium has crossed every level of decibels, echoing all the way to Kathmandu, as Nepali supporters in the stands soak it all in and savor this emotional moment. Goes for the yorker, does Wheal. Keeps the line of attack on the stumps. Gulshan Jha carves it hard across to the leg side, between long on and deep mid-wicket. George Munsey sprints across to his left from long on and dives with highest commitment to palm it back in the field of play, but his legs appear very close to the boundary ropes. And Munsey has been injured while throwing himself toward the ball to prevent the boundary. The TV umpire is checking George Munsey's effort at the rope. The replay shows his legs brushing the boundary cushion while he's holding the ball. So it is deemed a four and NEPAL WIN BY 7 WICKETS WITH 4 BALLS TO SPARE!

1
19.1: Brad Wheal to Dipendra Singh Airee, FIFTY FOR DIPENDRA SINGH AIREE! From just 23 balls. The on-air commentators mention that this is the fastest T20 World Cup fifty by any Nepalese batter. A stupendous knock from him. Over the wicket, full and outside off. Dipendra Singh Airee opens the face and carves it to deep backward point for one. Looks for two, but is sent back by his partner. The crowd goes absolutely bonkers at the Wankhede as they admire this fighting knock from Airee, which will be remembered for a long, long time. He has almost brought Nepal home from the brink.

18.6: Brad Currie to Dipendra Singh Airee, Full and outside off, Airee gets across and scoops it towards short fine leg. Nearly carries. A single taken. 10 from the over, 66 in the last 5!

1
18.5: Brad Currie to Gulshan Jha, Backs away to the leg side and gets followed. Gulshan Jha drags it towards long on and once again, Airee turns blind for the second. But he slips and loses his footing, changing his mind.

1
18.4: Brad Currie to Dipendra Singh Airee, A low full toss, around off, Dipendra Singh Airee eases it through the covers. He turns blind for the second but Jha sends him back and rightly so. That would have been a suicidal second.

1
18.3: Brad Currie to Gulshan Jha, A low full toss, on middle, Gulshan Jha exposes the stumps and drills it off the toe end to long on for a single. Airee is keen for a second, but Gulshan sends him back.

0
18.2: Brad Currie to Gulshan Jha, Excellent comeback by Currie! Nails the yorker in, tailing down leg. Gulshan Jha swings and misses. The keeper does not gather it cleanly and that allows Jha to get back in the crease.

6
18.1: Brad Currie to Gulshan Jha, SIX! MY WORD! Easily the shot of the night. Currie goes full and outside off. Gulshan Jha collapses his back knee into the pitch, gets under the ball and absolutely launches it high and handsome over deep extra cover for an enormous six. 9 needed from 11 balls. Nepal are almost there.

End of over 18
NEP156/3
NEP Batting Singh Airee 47(20) G Jha 12(12)

17.6: Brad Wheal to Dipendra Singh Airee, FOUR! Bad ball and punished. A short ball, down the leg side, Dipendra Singh Airee gets outside the line and pulls it over short fine leg for a boundary! 2 boundary balls spoil the entire good work in the over. 13 from the over, 56 in the last 4!

6
17.5: Brad Wheal to Dipendra Singh Airee, SIX! PLUNDERED! Airee backs away to the leg side and Wheal follows him, bowling it short and around leg stump. It is a very good ball, cramping the batter for room, but with excellent use of his wrists once again, Airee slams it over deep point! Brings up the 50-RUN STAND as well, in just 27 deliveries. 19 NEEDED FROM 13 BALLS!

2
17.4: Brad Wheal to Dipendra Singh Airee, Banged in short, around off, coming into the batter, Dipendra Singh Airee pulls it into the ground through square leg and charges back for the second.

1
17.3: Brad Wheal to Gulshan Jha, Off the edge, but safe! Off cutter, a touch fuller around off. Gulsan Jha goes hard across the line again, but gets a top edge that drops well short of the incoming deep third fielder. Just a single.

0
17.2: Brad Wheal to Gulshan Jha, Well bowled! Slower ball by Brad, the off cutter on a fuller length, around off. Gulshan Jha tries to slog it over the leg side, goes too hard, loses his shape and fails to get the connection. The ball clips the front pad and rolls in the off side.

0
17.1: Brad Wheal to Gulshan Jha, A crucial dot ball. On a back of a length, angled outside off. Gulshan Jha stands tall, tries slash it over the infield, but the ball bounces over his angled bat. Swing and a miss!

SCO170/7
SCO Batting M Watt 10(4) O Davidson 1(1)

6
19.6: Nandan Yadav to Mark Watt, SIX! A biggie to end the innings, Full, on middle and leg, Watt stands deep in his crease and swings it over mid-wicket. There is a fielder in the deep, Lokesh Bam, who leaps but the ball goes beyond. SCOTLAND END ON 170/7!

1
19.5: Nandan Yadav to Oliver Davidson, The blockhole is hit, around middle and off, Oliver Davidson drives it towards long off for a single.

1WD
19.5: Nandan Yadav to Oliver Davidson, WIDE. Full and well outside off, left alone.

0
19.4: Nandan Yadav to Michael Leask, OUT! EXCELLENT REVIEW FOR CAUGHT BEHIND! A short ball, around off and middle, following the batter as he backed away to the leg side. Leask looked to pull but missed. The keeper collected and straightaway went up in an appeal, but the umpire turned it down. A horde of fielders came around suggesting that there was a nick and coax their skipper to take it upstairs and Paudel took the review. And sure enough, UltraEdge returns a spike when the ball is close to the bat! The decision is overturned and the dramatic collapse of Scotland continues. 132/1 BECOMES 162/7!

1
19.3: Nandan Yadav to Mark Watt, Outside off, mistimed down to long off for a single.

2
19.2: Nandan Yadav to Mark Watt, Good work in the deep. On middle, Mark Watt swings this down the ground. Long off gets across and dives to his right, in front of long on, stopping the boundary. Two runs taken, two saved.

0
19.1: Nandan Yadav to Michael Leask, Down the leg side, Michael Leask looks to flick but misses. The ball goes behind the wicket and Leask is ball watching but his partner calls him through. The keeper gets to his left, picks the ball up and fires a throw at the bowler's end but misses. Leg bye signalled.

End of over 19
SCO158/6

1
18.5: Sompal Kami to Mark Watt, Another slower ball, fuller in length, outside off, Mark Watt is early into his shot but manages to steer it towards short third for a single.

0
18.4: Sompal Kami to Tom Bruce, OUT! BOWLED! Terrific ball and wonderful celebration by the bowler! Delivered from the back of the hand, a lovely slower ball, on a fuller length, Tom Bruce comes down the track and tries to reach out, but fails to read the delivery. The ball goes beneath the bat and hits the timber! Kami raises his finger in celebration but then gets down in a meditation pose, as if signalling for peace and calmness. Later, he even has a joking word with the batter, showing good relations between the two teams. From 132/1, SCOTLAND ARE NOW 156/6! 8 balls left. Third wicket for Kami as well.

1
18.3: Sompal Kami to Michael Leask, Very full, outside off, Michael hammers it uppishly towards cover. It is the substitute fielder, Basir Ahamad, who comes charging in, but the ball dips in front of him. Thrusts his body forward and the ball goes off his body and bounces back, instead of going past. Just a single taken.

0
18.2: Sompal Kami to Michael Leask, A touch short, outside off, Leask goes for the pull but gets a bottom edge back down the pitch.

2
18.1: Sompal Kami to Michael Leask, Outside off, a full toss, pace off, dipping down, Michael Leask heaves this behind square leg and charges back for the second. Very good knuckle ball.

End of over 18

0
17.3: Nandan Yadav to Matthew Cross, OUT! BOWLED! Sensational pace bowling. Cross walks across his stumps to lap but does so a bit early. The bowler spots and fires in a pretty full ball, right around the off stump. The batter misses his shot and the ball cannons into the stumps. Cross comes and goes as well and from 132/1, SCOTLAND ARE NOW 150/5!

4
17.2: Nandan Yadav to Matthew Cross, FOUR! Nicely done. On a length, around off and middle, Matthew Cross leans and works it to the left of short fine leg. The fielder dives but cannot cut it off. Deep square leg races to his right and dives as well, but cannot stop it either. 150 UP FOR SCOTLAND! 16 balls left.

1
17.1: Nandan Yadav to Tom Bruce, On middle, on a length, chipped over mid-wicket for a single.
