Nepal registered a remarkable victory against the United Arab Emirates on Thursday in a jam-packed TU Cricket Ground in Kathmandu. A win in the last match of the Cricket World Cup League 2 also saw Nepal surpass Namibia in the third position of the table to ensure a direct spot in the World Cup Qualifiers.
The home team were victorious by nine runs (D/L method), as no further play was possible after the end of 44 overs, mainly due to the bad light. Nepal were 269 for six at that stage.
