Late Heroics Lift Nepal to Respectable T20 World Cup Total

In a gripping T20 World Cup Group C encounter, Nepal managed to lift themselves to a competitive total thanks to crucial performances from Dipendra Singh Airee and Sompal Kami. Facing the West Indies at Wankhede Stadium, Airee's 58 and Kami's 26 not out were pivotal in reaching 133 for 8, overcoming a dismal start.

Nepal found themselves in early trouble with poor shot selections and lackluster performances from their specialist batters, leaving them at a precarious 46 for 5 in the 11th over. Airee's aggressive gameplay, characterized by three sixes and four boundaries, was crucial in providing the team some much-needed stability and momentum.

Meanwhile, Kamis' late-inning heroics, including three consecutive boundaries in the 18th over, kept Nepal afloat. Despite a troubled beginning, highlighted by key dismissals and a record low powerplay score, Nepal was able to post a fighting total against the West Indies on an unpredictable pitch.
