Nepal Batting Analysis Nepal started slow but batted really well in the middle order to recover. Bhim Sharki had anchored the innings and there were useful contributions in the middle overs by Kushal Malla and Dipendra Singh Airee.

Nepal had scored 239 runs, losing 9 wickets and UAE was set a target of 240 runs. United Arab Emirates National Cricket Team – 2nd Innings (Batting) The UAE began their chase with a steady start.
