Full commentary

Nepal were bossed out of the match by a Hong Kong team that performed to their best. Hard to pick a Man of the Match but maybe, as ACC Development Officer Rumesh Ratayake the former Sri Lankan fast-bowler's the Match Referee, he'll choose a bowler. In which case it's going to be Hong Kong's Nadeem Ahmed who took 3-18. However it was his brother Irfan along with Waqas Barkat and then Nizakat Khan who made a potentially tricky chase look easy who deserve team honours too. Group A in this event is now wide open!

W
Regmi to Kruger, OUT

fizzes off the pitch, lands on a length, on off and middle, batsman fishing and takes the edge.

Courtney Kruger c †Khakurel b B Regmi 0 (2b 0x4 0x6 1m) SR: 0

Seems that the verbals of the Nepal wicket-keeper are upsetting the batsmen. Umpires having to step in.

W
Regmi to Waqas Barkat, OUT

tries the scoop again, hurries off the wicket, bounces too and leg-stump's knocked back. End of an excellent innings. Pressure situations seem to bring out the best in him

Regmi to Nizakat Khan, SIX runs

Nizakat just launches into a ball that lands on the sweet spot in front of him, in the air for a long time and long-on and long-off interested. Hits the sightscreen ten feet up
