In a thrilling encounter at the ACC U-19 Asia Cup, India showcased a stellar bowling performance, restricting Nepal to a meager total of 52 runs in the third group stage match. Opting to bat first after losing the toss, Nepal faced a relentless Indian bowling attack that proved too formidable for their batsmen.

Facing 22.1 overs, Nepal’s innings came to a swift end as they lost all their wickets, managing only 52 runs on the scoreboard. Hemant Dhami top-scored for Nepal with 8 runs, including a solitary four off 18 balls, while Dipak Bohara and Arjun Kumal contributed 7 runs each.

Arshin Kulkarni also played a crucial role, taking two wickets, while another wicket fell to the talented Indian bowler.

With Nepal setting a target of 53 runs for victory, the stage is set for an exciting chase as India aims to secure another win in the ACC U-19 Asia Cup.
