END OF OVER:
49 | 3 Runs 2 Wkts | USA: 207/10 | RR: 4.22

  • Shayan Jahangir100 (79b)
  • Gulsan Jha10-0-52-3
  • Dipendra Singh Airee5-0-15-2

12.42 pm Well, Jahangir decided to go for glory tapping a single for a century for himself. In the process, he left the tail exposed and he never gets back on strike. Netravalkar bowled next ball and Phillip lasts just two deliveries before being wiped out. It means Jahangir is stranded with six balls left unused in the USA innings. USA could have fetched another 15-20 runs had Jahangir been on strike. How crucial will those six unused deliveries be?

Karan KC takes four wickets in his new ball spell which put USA in a massive hole. Jahangir helped USA claw out of it and has given USA a fighting chance with his century. Still, USA appear to be severely under par here based on how the pitches have played in Harare over the first two match days, especially with a short boundary on one side of the ground. Nepal will be heavy favorites to chase this down. Stay with us for the start of the reply when Ashish Pant returns to the commentary box.

Gulsan Jha to Phillip, OUT, yorker again! Phillip plays across the line and misses to be struck on the toe. Hit in front of middle and leg and the appeal goes up. Was this hitting the stumps or missing leg stump? Ahmed Shah Pakteen feels it was going to hit leg stump.

END OF OVER:

  • Shayan Jahangir97 (76b)
  • Dipendra Singh Airee5-0-15-2
  • Gulsan Jha9-0-49-1

Ashwin: "Any score above 220 is a job well done for USA considering they were 18/4 and scored 70 odd runs in 25 overs for the fall of 5 wickets. Nepal's frequent and chronic loss of traction in the death overs is appalling. This is the reason it lost its first match and could have serious impact on today's match as well."
