West Indies vs Nepal, 2nd T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Shout atop from the Himalayas that Nepal have scaled something humongous. Pinch yourself Nepal Cricket Fans. Your team came, saw and decimated the former world champions. They have outplayed the Windies in every department. And deserve to take the unassailable lead. Party on Nepal. This night should be a long one as this team has earned the right to party real hard! On that note we take your leave. Nepal will be going for a historic clean sweep tomorrow when the 3rd game of this series takes place. Can they do it? We will be back to find that out. Do join us then, till then it's bye bye and ta, ta from all of us here.

Rohit Paudel | Nepal captain: We are very happy, it took a lot to win a game against a Test playing country and two days later we are winning a series and we feel really happy. It's very important, the way Aasif and Jora played, the way Jora accelerated, it helped Aasif. Today we improved a lot, in the bowling department the way we started in the powerplay, Deepi da and Karan started well and Alam followed it up. We take pride in our fielding, last 10-15 years, there's a history that shows Nepal do good fielding. We worked hard on that and credit must go to the boys, especially Deepi da and Gulshan. It was a very important series, to showcase our skills in front of world cricket. that Nepal also belongs here. A lot of eyes are on Nepal, we want to continue it and want to play much more series against Test playing nations. We want to finish off on a high note, the motivation is there to clean sweep the series, for that we have to again start from the beginning. If we do that, we will carry the momentum to the qualifiers and we want to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

Aasif Sheikh | Player of the Match: Easily looking at the wicket we felt 160 was a good total. The idea was to start slow and to build a partnership and that's what we did in the powerplay as well. Credit should be given to Jora - he batted really well. We know we have good hitters and we wanted to hit every ball. It's already a big achievement, want to finish off on a higher note. Want to finish it off 3-0. Cricket means festival for Nepal. I want to thank all the Nepalese, they come everywhere we play, they support us and credit should be given to them as well.

Akeal Hosein | West Indies captain: When you play against a group who have been together just for 4-5 years, you have your work cut out. A force together, you got to play good cricket. When West Indies play Nepal, everyone thinks it's a walkover. It's not about names, it's not about past stats, it's about how you adapt to the conditions and how you play the game. They played 1 or 2 two good shots, kudos to their batters. Personally I would have liked to be economical. When you are chasing 174 or 175, you have your work cut out during the powerplay, you are way behind the eight-ball when you are 16/2 - you are asking way too much from the other batters and on these tracks which are slower and lower, they know the conditions and they exploited it really well. Definitely a talking point for their unit. They were brilliant. They field really well, and it's hard to beat teams when they give their heart and soul. For us it's just about understanding really fast that it's international cricket. I mean no disrespect to the opposition, if you are trying to benchmark yourself here in international cricket and can't match the level, then you have to look yourself in the mirror and ask are you good enough for international cricket.

The Nepal side are doing a lap of honor across the venue to thank their supporters. Stay tuned for the post-match stuff...

21:43 Local Time, 17:43 GMT, 23:13 IST: Look at the Nepal supporters in the crowd. Not only have they won the series, they have done it with style and thumped West Indies in the process. A win by 90 runs is something of a no-contest in this format. No wonder Rohit Paudel and the others are all smiles. A dreadful day for West Indies cricket even though they are missing many regulars for this tour. Airee at the start kept it tight and got Andrew. They stifled West Indies in the powerplay and right from there, they were on the back foot. There was no comeback in the middle overs either as Nepal took regular wickets and none of the West Indies batters could make a big impression. Once again Nepal's fielding was fabulous as they held on to their chances and some were brilliant grabs with Jha leading the way. Deservedly Nepal are the series winners and this should give them so much confidence. A landmark series for them and from here, Nepal will only get stronger and should use this as a stepping stone for further success.

Bhurtel to Zishan Motara, out Caught by Karan KC!! Nepal have demolished West Indies to win the series. What a result this is for them. Thoroughly deserved too. Tossed up on a length on middle, Zishan Motara gets forward to loft and it looks to be clearing mid-off going back, Karan backpedals and judges it so well, takes it over his shoulder and has a big smile on his face. Yet another very good catch. Bhurtel does the Hasaranga celebration. Zishan Motara c Karan KC b Bhurtel 3(4)
