Nepal created history as they beat the West Indies by 19 runs in Sharjah for their first-ever win against a Full Member across formats. They had beaten Afghanistan in a T20I in 2014, but Afghanistan were an Associate back then.
Even if you keep the win aside for a moment, it was a historic occasion for Nepal. It was their first T20I against the West Indies and the start of their first bilateral series against a Full Member.
They made it even more special by outplaying the two-time world champions in every facet of the game. It was a complete team effort by Nepal: six of their batters hit at least one six, six of their bowlers took at least one wicket, and their fielding was top-notch.
Summarised scores: Nepal 148 for 8: Paudel 38, Malla 30
Holder 4 for 20, Bidaisee 3 for 29
West Indies 129 for 9: Bidaisee 22
Bhurtel 2 for 17
Nepal won by 19 runs
