Meanwhile, Sompal was the star of the show with the ball against Scotland. He picked up three crucial wickets to break the heart of the Scottish batting. He conceded merely 25 runs in his quota of four overs. 

How Nepal Won

Batting first, Scotland could not capitalise on the start they got as they could only post 170 for seven in 20 overs. At one stage, it seemed they would easily go past 200, but some good bowling display teamed with some brilliance in the field helped Nepal bounce back in the game. Michael Jones with 71 off 45 balls was the star with the bat for Scotland.
