Nepal Loses Wicket, Kushal Bhurtel Out

In a gripping semi-final showdown at the T20 World Cup qualifiers, Nepal, chasing a target of 135 runs set by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), suffered setback as opening batsman Kushal Bhurtel was sent packing in their pursuit of victory.

Kushal Bhurtel, the dependable opener, showcased his aggressive intent with a brief yet impactful knock, amassing 11 runs off just eight deliveries, including two elegant boundaries. However, his departure to the pavilion left the home team at a crucial juncture with 26 runs on the scoreboard after three overs.

As the game unfolds, Nepal is now showing resilience, with their current score standing at 39 runs after six overs. The contest remains finely poised, and cricket enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the next twists and turns in this high-stakes encounter.
