Dipendra Singh Airee ends Nepal’s T20 WC campaign on a high While chasing the target of 171, Nepal was in a spot of bother after losing opener Kushal Bhurtel (43-off-35 balls) before he could complete his fifty.

However, it was Dipendra Singh Airee, who kept rotating the strike and, in the end, accelerated at a drastic rate. At one point, Nepal needed 70 runs off 35 balls, and he switched gears, chasing down the total in just 19.3 overs.
