38.6Currie to G Jha6
Six runs. SIX! Brad Currie to Gulshan Jha. Short, wide outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. That's it! A nerve-shredding finish to a high-intensity contest, with Scotland edging out Nepal by just two runs via the DLS method. Scotland's bowlers set the tone early and fought brilliantly to defend a tight total. Brad Currie led the attack with a superb spell, picking up three crucial wickets at key moments, while Mark Watt once again showed his class with a disciplined two-wicket haul. Chasing under DLS pressure, Nepal showed tremendous fight. Dipendra Singh Airee and Gulsan Jha anchored the innings with composure and intent, both crafting excellent half-centuries that kept Nepal in the hunt deep into the contest. Despite their efforts and a strong push towards the end, Nepal ultimately fell agonisingly short by the narrowest of margins. Brad Currie is the Player of the Match.
