Scotland v Nepal | Match Highlights | ICC Men's CWCL2 2023-27
A thriller in Scotland as another League 2 match goes down to the last ball!
Scotland looked in control early even after losing the toss, with Charlie Tear's 80 and Finlay McCreath's 55, helping the hosts to 296 off their 50 overs.
The hosts had Nepal on the canvas at 192/7 in the 39th over in spite of Kushal Bhurtel's 55, though it was Karan KC, having often stepped up in seemingly helpless situations, saving his country again.
Walking out at No.9, Karan struck an unbeaten 65 from 41 balls, including four sixes. An over of 18 meant his side needed seven off the final over, though Karan lost No.10 Sandeep Lamichhane on the first ball off the final over, meaning he was joined by last man Rijan Dhakal.
