With their fans turning up in numbers, Nepal batters gave them something to cheer as Dipendra Singh Airee pushed back. After steadying the innings, Airee led the late Nepal charge. He scored 58 off 47, with the help of three fours and three sixes, registering only the second half-century for his country in the T20 World Cup.
His 54-run partership with Sompal Kami (26 not out) took Nepal to a respectable position. They switched gears in the last five overs, reaching the crescendo in the 19th over where they plundered 18 runs.
Holder, who bowled an incredible opening spell of 2/4 in two overs, registered his first four-wicket haul in the tournament, finishing at 4/27. Hosein, Forde, Shamar Joseph and Roston Chase claimed a wicket each.
In response, West Indies mustered 44 in powerplay for the loss of Brandon King’s wicket. King wasn’t at his comfortable best, and handed an easy catch to mid on off Nandan Yadav, departing for 22.
But Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer did not let Nepal get a toehold into the match. Going full-throttle, Hope struck five fours and three sixes for an unbeaten 61 while Hetmyer scored 46 with the help of four fours and two sixes. It was as comprehensive a win as West Indies would have hoped to clinch their Super 8 berth.
