The Emirates team was unable to contend with Nepal’s more experienced bowlers, led by Barma (3/19), and finished at 115 for eight.
Nepal, on the other hand, had to endure some nerve-racking moments when they lost three wickets to off-spinner Kavisha Egodage (3/12), halting their momentum following the Power Play.
Khadka, on the other hand, led Nepal’s pursuit on his own, taking shots all over the park.
Earlier, Khushi Sharma (36, 39 balls, 2×4) and Egodage (22, 26b, 2×4) halted a slide after UAE reached 38 for three after the Power Play.
However, their efforts took far too many balls, and none of the other hitters could provide impetus to the UAE innings, which was hampered by some accurate Nepal bowling.
