Match Analysis

Nepal’s innings struggled to find momentum, with opener Aakash Tripathi top-scoring with a gritty 43 off 77 balls. Uttam Magar (29) and Abhisekh Tiwari (29) tried to stabilize the innings but couldn’t overcome Bangladesh’s tight bowling. Rizan Hossan (2/8) and Md Rafi Uzzaman Rafi (1/15) bowled economical spells, while Iqbal Hossain Emon and Al Fahad picked up two wickets each to ensure Nepal’s middle and lower order offered little resistance.

In reply, Bangladesh started cautiously but found a match-winner in opener Zawad Abrar, who scored a fluent 59 off 65 balls, striking 5 fours and 4 sixes. Captain Azizul Hakim anchored the chase with a composed 52 not out, despite a 4-wicket haul from Nepal’s Yuvraj Khatri. Bangladesh faced minor hiccups in the middle order but eventually cruised to the target.
