England clinched a dramatic four-run victory over Nepal in the fifth group match of the ICC T20 World Cup, surviving a late scare in a high-octane contest at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. Chasing a challenging target of 185 runs, Nepal put up a spirited fight but fell just short, finishing on 180 runs.
Dipendra Singh Airee top-scored for Nepal with a brisk 44, while captain Rohit Paudel contributed 39 runs. Kushal Bhurtel added 29, and Lokesh Bam remained unbeaten on 39, but Nepal could not cross the line in the final over. Asif Sheikh managed just seven runs.
