West Indies vs Nepal, 1st T20I in Sharjah

15.4
Sompal Kami to Navin Bidaisee, FOUR, poor delivery and I could hear an expletive from the stump mic. Down leg, with short fine inside, just needed bat and Navin Bidaisee flicks wide of short fine
15.3
Sompal Kami to Navin Bidaisee, SIX, just over deep backward square-leg. A good length delivery on middle, Navin Bidaisee goes on the back foot and pulls, just has the elevation to clear the fielder. Much needed for West Indies

16.3
Bhurtel to Navin Bidaisee, out Hit Wkt!! What a way to go. Navin Bidaisee goes on the back foot and tucks the length ball to deep mid-wicket, but he gets too deep and the back foot trods on the stumps. Bidaisee was just beginning to strike them and he too falls to leave Nepal on the verge.

Navin Bidaisee hit wkt b Bhurtel 22(25) [4s-1 6s-1]

Sompal Kami to Akeal Hosein, SIX, now dropped by Bhurtel at deep mid-wicket and it goes for six. Full outside off, Akeal Hosein knows the line and he shuffles across there, heaves and Bhurtel standing right on the edge, palms it over. Should have taken that. Pressure getting to Nepal? More luck for Hosein
17.4
Sompal Kami to Akeal Hosein, FOUR, dropped by short third man going back and it goes for four too. Right through the hands and on to the chest, bobbles away. Full and well outside off, Akeal Hosein shuffles across and lofts, the thick outside-edge goes straight up, not an easy catch and Hosein gets a life
18.3
Karan KC to Akeal Hosein, out Caught by Gulsan Jha!! Look at the crowd - most of them Nepal supporters. The slower short ball outside off, Akeal Hosein gets forward to pull and doesn't get the power or timing, holes out to long-on. Calm catch and Nepal inch closer.

Akeal Hosein c Gulsan Jha b Karan KC 18(9) [4s-1 6s-2]
