Brad Wheal to Gulsan Jha, FOUR, the Cardiac Kids have done it. They create history with their first-ever win in this T20 World Cup. The names of Gulsan Jha, Dipendra Singh Airee, Rohit Paudel, Kushal Bhurtel and the others in this side will echo around Mount Everest and the peaks of all the hills that surround their country. There will be non-stop celebration on the streets of Nepal and wherever the Nepalese reside around the world. It will be one big party. Coming to the ball: It's full on off, Gulsan Jha heaves and it's running away to the wide long-on fence, Munsey gets there, slides but the legs are in touch with the cushions when he pulls it back. He takes his time to get up as he looks to have been hurt. There's a sense of anxiety as the third ump is asked to check it this was a four, that agonising wait for the number of supporters who have thronged the Wankhede today wearing Nepalese colors. Then umpire KN Anantha Padmanabhan signals four and the emotions can take over. One sees Paudel and the others come out of the dressing room for the post-match handshakes, the Nepal captain having a little smile on his face

Brad Wheal to Dipendra Singh Airee, FOUR, again great hands and wrists. It's a short of length delivery and sliding down leg, Dipendra Singh Airee lifts one leg and pulls over short fine, one bounce over the ropes and even coach Stuart Law is impressed watching on. He gives a grin and shakes his head in admiration

Brad Wheal to Dipendra Singh Airee, SIX, what a shot. A slower-ball and short of length and trying to follow Dipendra Singh Airee outside the leg-stump, but Airee slashes that so hard, up and over backward point and it has the elevation to go all the way. Flies over the fence and the Nepalese are jumping up and down in the stands. Such quick hands and great wrists

Brad Wheal to Kushal Bhurtel, SIX, top-tier at deep backward square-leg. A short of length delivery and angling into the right-hander, Kushal Bhurtel backs away outside the leg-stump, bigger side but doesn't matter to Bhurtel. He pulls and it flies off the bat

Brad Wheal to Kushal Bhurtel, no run, look at McMullen and Brad Wheal's reactions. They can't believe the leg bail hasn't fallen. A sharp back of a length delivery and angled in, Kushal Bhurtel makes room slightly to pull, misses, just a kiss on top of the leg bail and that's the sound. Scotland were convinced it was out and lose the review
