Scorecard summary
Kuwait 20/10(13.2 overs)
3/1 (1.2)
Nepal 21/1(2.5 overs)

Kuwait outplayed but that was to be expected. Kuwait are a mix of something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue; Nepal are a class apart. Tougher challenges await Nepal, starting with the Maldives tomorow who were watching them from the stands today. Thanks for being with us, this is the ACC's Ainnur and Shahriar signing off from Incheon, Raju's been with us back at Cricinfo HQ too.

Yajendra (India): "Shakti Gauchan remaining wicketless is the biggest achievement for Kuwait." So catty you, Yajendra. Actually the biggest achievement for Kuwait is to field a team of Arabs who play simply for the love of the game and the honour of representing one's country at the Asian Games.
