Nepal Stuns Scotland in Landmark T20 World Cup Victory

Nepal's cricket team celebrated a significant milestone on Tuesday as they clinched their first victory in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, overcoming Scotland by seven wickets at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. Captain Rohit Paudel praised Dipendra Singh Airee for his pivotal role in securing the win.

During the post-match presentation, Paudel highlighted the importance of this victory, underscoring its impact on team morale as Nepal concluded its league-stage matches. The win showcased the team's evolution and resilience after their earlier games, particularly their encounter with England.

Scotland captain Richie Berrington also acknowledged Airee's match-winning performance, which turned the game's momentum in Nepal's favor. Despite a strong start from Scotland, key bowling by Sompal Kami shifted the dynamics, ultimately allowing Nepal to successfully chase Scotland's 170-run target.
