west indies vs nepal in uae, 2025

Holder to Karan KC, out Caught by Mayers!! Third wicket off the over. Was banged in short, Karan KC looked to pull and got a top-edge. The man at short fine circled under it a little to gobble it up easily. Holder finishes his spell with a four-wicket haul. That was a slower one dug in short and Karan KC was too early into the shot. Nepal not getting the final hurrah that they needed. Karan KC c Mayers b Holder 0(1)

Holder to Sundeep Jora, out Caught by (sub)Karima Gore!! The substitute has taken a blinder. That was a low full toss, Sundeep Jora sat down, got under the ball and heaved it away. The man at deep backward square charged to his right, dived and got his hands under it to take an excellent catch. Holder has his third wicket and Nepal lose another in the cause of getting quick runs. Sundeep Jora c (sub)Karima Gore b Holder 9(6) [6s-1]

Holder to Dipendra Singh, out Caught by Navin Bidaisee!! Taken by the man at deep cover. The batter backed away to slash it and was a good catch taken at deep cover. That was a back of a length delivery and Dipendra Singh managed to hit it aerially but failed to find the gap. Dipendra Singh c Navin Bidaisee b Holder 17(19) [6s-1]

Navin Bidaisee to Gulsan Jha, out Caught by Keacy Carty!! Third wicket on debut. That was tossed up, googly, outside off, Gulsan Jha sliced it and the fielder in the deep almost made a mess of it. The man at long-off fumbled it once but managed to hold on. Navin Bidaisee would be chuffed with his bowling so far. Gulsan Jha c Keacy Carty b Navin Bidaisee 22(16) [6s-2]

Navin Bidaisee to Rohit Paudel, out Caught by Ackeem Auguste!! Taken at deep mid. Rohit Paudel went across the line and failed to time it well. The fielder took it well inside the ropes. The batter had to fetch it from well outside off and failed to time it well. Second strike for Navin Bidaisee. Windies have been able to get these timely wickets. And that has helped them to keep the rate in check. Rohit Paudel c Ackeem Auguste b Navin Bidaisee 38(35) [4s-3 6s-1]

Navin Bidaisee to Kushal Malla, out Caught by Holder!! Dragged down to long-on. Taken well in the deep. That was tossed up, outside off, Kushal Malla got under the ball but failed to get elevation. The man at long-on came in, put in a slide and managed to hold on. Navin Bidaisee has a wicket in his first over. Nepal lose their southpaw who was looking good. Kushal Malla c Holder b Navin Bidaisee 30(21) [4s-2 6s-2]

Holder to Aasif Sheikh, out Caught by Keacy Carty!! Carty takes it at mid-on. The batter danced down a little, wanted to loft it but got a high ball. The ball went very high but too far. The fielder went back and took it well. He did tumble down in the end but managed to hold on to it. Nepal are two down Aasif Sheikh c Keacy Carty b Holder 3(4)

Akeal Hosein to Bhurtel, out Stumped!! Hosein has the wicket. The skipper strikes. The batter danced down, missed the line of the ball and was out stumped. The ball was flatter and outside off. The batter danced down blind and that was the problem. Nepal lose their first wicket Bhurtel st Jangoo b Akeal Hosein 6(11) [4s-1]

Dipendra Singh to Fabian Allen, out Caught by Bhurtel!! Fittingly a fantastic catch ends things. Nepal stun West Indies. This is full outside off, Fabian Allen gets forward and lofts, was going for six, Bhurtel at long-off times his leap to perfection, takes it over his head two-handed, realises he is going over, so throws it back into the field of play, goes out, then calmly comes in to take it. Exceptionally judged catch and that is some way to inflict a defeat. Nepal can rejoice and so they will. Fabian Allen c Bhurtel b Dipendra Singh 19(14) [4s-3]

Karan KC to Akeal Hosein, out Caught by Gulsan Jha!! Look at the crowd - most of them Nepal supporters. The slower short ball outside off, Akeal Hosein gets forward to pull and doesn't get the power or timing, holes out to long-on. Calm catch and Nepal inch closer. Akeal Hosein c Gulsan Jha b Karan KC 18(9) [4s-1 6s-2]

Bhurtel to Navin Bidaisee, out Hit Wkt!! What a way to go. Navin Bidaisee goes on the back foot and tucks the length ball to deep mid-wicket, but he gets too deep and the back foot trods on the stumps. Bidaisee was just beginning to strike them and he too falls to leave Nepal on the verge. Navin Bidaisee hit wkt b Bhurtel 22(25) [4s-1 6s-1]

Bhurtel to Holder, out Caught by Rohit Paudel!! That should be the game for Nepal. Holder was the one who could have taken West Indies home. Length and into the pitch on middle and leg, Holder gets forward to swing and doesn't hit it well, straight to the fielder at deep mid-wicket and he reverse-cups. Holder had to go for it as the asking rate was going out of hand. Holder c Rohit Paudel b Bhurtel 5(7)

Bhurtel to Keacy Carty, out Keacy Carty Run Out!! More good work in the field. Airee the man at extra-cover, moves to his left and it's a fine throw right on top of the bails to Aasif Sheikh, even a desperate dive from Keacy Carty is not enough. He drove to the left of extra-cover and set off, Airee is so quick and Navin Bidaisee sent Carty back. Nepal on a high and and have this match firmly in their grasp now. Keacy Carty run out (Dipendra Singh/Aasif Sheikh) 16(15) [4s-1 6s-1]

Rajbanshi to Jangoo, out Caught by Sundeep Jora!! The pressure and it pays off. Full outside the leg-stump, Jangoo goes for a sweep, the top-edge flies and it's caught neatly by deep backward square-leg going down low, nice catch and West Indies are in trouble here. A good over and it has produced one more wicket. Jangoo c Sundeep Jora b Rajbanshi 19(22) [4s-2]

Rohit Paudel to Jewel Andrew, out Caught by Sundeep Jora!! Caught at long-on. Jewel Andrew falls in going for the big hit. It's tossed up on a length on off, Andrew gets forward to loft, skies it and he nearly gets it over long-on, the fielder catches it reverse-cup just before the ropes. Rohit Paudel strikes in his first over. Good catch and judged it well. Jewel Andrew c Sundeep Jora b Rohit Paudel 5(11)

Nandan Yadav to Ackeem Auguste, out Caught by Dipendra Singh!! The slower-ball on a fuller length does the job. It is outside off, Ackeem Auguste gets forward to loft, right off the toe-end of the bat and it's an easy catch to extra-cover. Airee makes no mistake. Auguste played a couple of good shots but perishes now in going for the big hit. Ackeem Auguste c Dipendra Singh b Nandan Yadav 15(7) [6s-2]

Karan KC to Mayers, out Mayers Run Out!! Superb fielding by Bhurtel and he finds the single stump from side-on. It was punched to his left at cover, he gets across quickly and on the move fires a direct-hit with just one stump to aim at. Mayers is not the quickest between the wickets and he is caught short. Needed a dive and Mayers didn't do that. The dangerous Mayers goes early. Mayers run out (Bhurtel) 5(8) [4s-1]
