Nepal triumphed over the USA by 17 runs in the first T20I, thanks to key contributions from Rohit Paudel and Dipendra Singh Airee. Paudel’s aggressive 49 off 33 and Airee’s crucial 28 off 17 helped lift Nepal to 164/9 after a shaky start. Airee, who was equally impactful with the ball, took 3 wickets for 27, playing a vital role in USA’s downfall. Despite Shayan Jahangir’s fighting 60 off 34 deliveries, USA fell short, struggling to gain momentum in their batting powerplay. For the USA, Harmeet Singh’s 2-18 wasn't enough to suppress the Nepali batsmen.
In the chase, USA’s top order crumbled early on. Nepali bowlers, led by Airee and Karan KC, struck at regular intervals to leave the hosts in trouble. While Jahangir showcased some resistance with a brisk fifty, the lack of support from other batsmen allowed Nepal to dictate terms. USA, who were 26/3 in the powerplay, never recovered fully from the early setbacks. With 49 needed off the final two overs, Jahangir swung valiantly but could only reduce the margin of defeat.
Nepal’s bullish approach in their own powerplay set the tone for the game, and the experienced Paudel-Airee partnership ensured they had enough on the board to keep USA at bay. The visitors outshone USA in all departments, confirming their superiority in this encounter. For match predictions and more insights into upcoming games, check out Lotus365’s sports betting page.
