Brilliant start for Nepal as they have got a wicket off the fifth ball. Scotland's experiment of using Mark Watt as their opener has not worked and Dipendra Singh gets a wicket in his very first over.

Nepal start on the frontfoot. Just three conceded by Dipendra in the opening over of the game.

SCO 3/1 (1)

Nepal are all over Scotland here. Five wickets in five overs and Scotland now find themselves in deep, deep trouble. Top five sent back to the pavillion. Scotland have no idea what is happening and Nepal must be enjoying that. One way traffic so far and we might be in for an early finish.

SCO 24/5 (4.5)

SCO 55/5 (10)

A partnership is starting to take shape finally for Scotland. They have already lost half of their side and now they are under immense pressure. Nepal have bowled well right through this innings but they would to wrap things up quickly especially after the kind of start they had.

SCO 63/7 (13)

Sandeep Lamichhane bowls a double wicket maiden and Scotland are yet again in deep trouble. There is just no way to escape now. They are going to get bowled out for a really low score. Michael Leask is still there and only he has the capability to take Scotland over 100 now. Will he able to do it? Or Nepal bowlers will continue to rule?

Nepal have turned the screws on Scotland as the latter are all out on 97. Sandeep Lamichhane's four wickets has allowed the Rhinos to get back in to this fixture.

Lokesh Bam and Anil Sah are the men dismissed for Nepal in the pursuit of 98.

Nepal captain Rohit Paudel lost his wicket after making a 14-ball seven. Safyaan Sharif bowled him to make Nepal three wickets down. Kushal Bhurtel and Dipendra Singh Airee are batting at the crease. Nepal still need 49 runs in the last 10 overs.

NEP - 49/3 (10)

Kushal Bhurtel is the new batter to lose his wicket. Mark Watt dismissed him LBW on the first delivery of the 13th over. Bashir Ahamad has joined Dipendra Singh Airee at the crease with Nepal needing 35 runs in the last seven overs.

NEP - 63/4 (13)

Bashir Ahamad is the new batter to lose his wicket. Michael Leask took his wicket with a caught & bowled. Rupesh Singh and Kiran Thagunna are present at the crease with Nepal needing 14 runs in the last 18 balls.

NEP - 84/6 (17)

Michael Leask came to bowl the 18th over and conceded just four runs and also dismissed Rupesh Singh on the last delivery of the over. Jasper Davidson came to bowl the next over and was welcomed with a four. But he finished his over with just seven runs which left Nepal needing four runs in the last over. Kiran Thagunna and Karan KC took three singles on the first three deliveries to make the equation interesting. Then Thagunna lost his wicket on the 4th delivery. But Sandee Lamichhane took a single to win the match for Nepal.

NEP - 98/8 (19.5)

Scotland will clash with the Netherlands on Wednesday, whereas Nepal will take on the Dutch side on Thursday at the same venue.

That's all from our side. Goodbye and take care!
