The stage is set for a thrilling Tri-nations T20 International Series finale as Nepal faces a 172-run target against Papua New Guinea (PNG). Nepal, after winning the toss and electing to bowl, delivered an impressive performance to restrict PNG to 171/8 in their 20 overs.
Kushal Bhurtel and Aakash Chand led Nepal’s bowling charge, each securing three wickets. Karan KC and Gulsan Jha also played key roles, claiming a wicket apiece.
Tony Ura stood out as PNG’s top scorer with a determined 61 runs, finding support in Alei Nao’s 30. However, Nepal’s bowlers kept a tight lid on the rest of the PNG batting order, preventing any other significant partnerships.
