UAE right-arm off-spinner Gaur broke Nepal’s batting line-up, bowling 22 dot balls, taking five wickets and conceding just two runs in four overs. He was well supported by Indhuja Nandakumar, who bowled 19 dot balls, conceded only six runs and took three wickets. Samaira Dharanidharka got the wicket of number ninth batsman Yadav with his very first ball. Then Kadayat was run out at number ten and Nepal’s innings was over in the ninth over itself.

Nepal will always want to forget this

UAE openers Teerth Satish and Lavanya Kenny remained unbeaten, scoring four and three runs respectively. The score was level after the first over of the second innings and the target was chased off the very next ball. There were no sixes or fours in both the innings of the game. This match will definitely go into the record books and Nepal will always want to forget it.

Nepal had registered a 79-run win against Qatar in their previous match on June 3 (Friday). He dismissed Qatar for only 38 runs but cricket says that it is a game of uncertainties.
