India vs Nepal, 1st Quarter-Final at Hangzhou, Asian Games (M), Oct 03 2023 - Match Result

six to finish off but India win by 23 runs! Slower delivery that sits up to be hit outside off. Karan picks the length up nicely and dumps it over the long on fence. India move on to the semi-final but take nothing away from this brave and courageous Nepal display!

full just outside off. Karan aims for the moon again and.......misses

excellent yorker hung outside off. Karan swings and only connects with fresh air

another top yorker just outside off. Karan scuffs it back to the bowler

back of a length delivery angled across outside off. Karan swipes across the line and misses it by quite some distance

into the blockhole on off stump. Karan chalks it right back at the bowler

holes out to long on! Well-disguised slower ball outside off that Lamichhane does not quite pick. He has an agricultural hack at it and mistimes it completely. Sai Kishore runs in and completes a regulation catch!

low full toss outside off. Karan reaches out for it and scuffs it down to long off

off-pace and outside Karan's hitting arc on the off side. He swipes wildly at it and only connects with fresh air

four more! Banged in on off stump. Karan continues swinging and this time, gets a top edge that flies over the keeper's head!

gets it right this time, though! Length on middle and leg stump. Karan stands up tall, swings through the line and pounds it over long on!

full just outside off. Karan aims for the moon and no surprise that he makes zero contact

Watch. The. Spin. And. The. Bounce. Full toss on off stump. Lamichhane heaves it towards long on. Bishnoi comes hurtling to his left, overruns it and then cannot lay a hand as the ball hits the fence

off-pace and into the pitch outside off. Lamichhane swings like a rusty gate and misses the ball by a mile

very full delivery at the stumps. Karan digs it out towards long on for a single

back of a length on leg stump. Karan misses it as the ball pings off the thigh pad towards short fine leg. Lamichhane hares down the track and is then sent back. With him half-way down, Avesh, for some reason, tries the direct hit instead of getting it to the bowler. He misses his shy and Lamichhane escapes

dug in short on off stump. Lamichhane fends it into the off side and gets off the mark

picks out long on to perfection! Full and straight at the stumps. Jha gets his front foot out of the way and swings through the line. Gets a decent chunk of it but because the ball is so full, he cannot get under it enough. Arrows it straight to Jaiswal, who makes no mistake!

what a catch at long on! Full toss on off stump and Kami, perhaps expecting another length delivery, is caught by surprise. Has a mow at it but does not get the timing he is after. The ball lobs up towards long on, where Sai Kishore comes tearing in, dives forward and snaffles up an excellent catch!

oh dear! Slower delivery on a length just outside off. Kami has no clue about it and swings way too early. The lack of pace, though, means that the ball bounces just in front of Jitesh, bobbling past him and into the fence
