OUT! IN AIR... TAKEN! Kushal Bhurtel gets the big fish and they are all pumped up! Kushal Bhurtel bowls it flat and fuller, on leg and middle. Jason Holder, who was not quite finding his timing right, goes for a big blow toward the leg side. He attempts to heave it away but mistimes and loops it toward the deep mid-wicket fielder. Rohit Paudel judges the ball well and scoops it well into his palms. Fabian Allen is the new batter on the crease!

Fullish, outside off. Kushal Bhurtel lunges and drives it toward the off side. 

Oh my word! What on earth was Navin Bidaisee doing! That was surely a goner if the fielder had hit the stumps directly! Sompal Kami bowls back of a length, around off. Fabian Allen soft hands it toward the cover fielder and there is no communication between the batters, whether to take the single or not. Bhurtel picks up the ball and takes all his time to throw it directly to the non-striker's end stumps, as Navin Bidaisee sets off and he is all the way to the middle of the pitch. But, it is all luck in favour of Bidaisee that the ball doesn't hit the stumps.

OUT! HIT WICKET! Now that is something we don't usually see from the batters! Kushal Bhurtel bowls it short and on the stumps.

NO BALL! Sompal Kami must be feeling furious with himself, as if he had checked his run-up, it would have been a catch-out! On a length, on leg and middle. Fabian Allen mistimes his heave and the ball loops toward deep mid-wicket, where Gulsan takes the catch and throws the ball away for the celebration, but the umpire signals NO BALL, as the bowler has overstepped! Free hit upcoming! 

FOUR! Optimum usage of a Free Hit delivery! Slower delivery, pitching it around off. Fabian Allen does well to read the change of pace, and he smokes it away toward the deep mid-wicket fence for four more runs.

SIX! HIGH AND HANDSOME! Kushal Bhurtel is the culprit this time as he drops a difficult chance at the fence and it sails beyond the fence for six. On a length wide of off, Akeal Hosein steps across and slogs this towards the deep mid-wicket region. The ball was at a catchable height for Kushal Bhurte, but he fails to time his jump to perfection and the ball kisses his fingertips and goes over the fence for six.

OUT! CAUGHT! Karan KC eliminates the dangerman! He bowls it on a good-length, outside off. Akeal Hosein covers the stump and tries to launch it across the line, but gets the connection on the upper half of the bat. The ball skies toward the long on region, where Gulshan Jha does well to keep his nerves still and scoops the catch safely. 

On a length, wide outside off. Obed McCoy gets forward to loft it away but misses on a large gap.

OUT! IN AIR... TAKEN! That is some exceptional catch from Bhurtel, and it couldn't have been a better ending for Nepal! Dipendra Singh Airee bowls it fuller, outside off. Fabian Allen presses to his front to lash it up and over the off side. The ball flies like an arrow to sail just over the wide long off fielder, but Kushal Bhurtel offers a fine leap, takes the catch, and in the mid air he loops it away as he loses his balance to land behind the boundary ropes. He steps over the boundary line, comes back into the field of play, and takes the catch back again to create history for his country! Nepal beats West Indies by 19 runs!
