From Kathmandu, Pokhara, Jhapa, and all the way to the peak of Mount Everest and the Annapurna range, the Nepalese cricketers have achieved the unthinkable! This is a historic first win for the men in blue and red against a full member nation, a victory that will resonate across the country. The team showed the courage of the highest spirit and the willpower of the mountain areas. What a monumental moment for the nation to secure this win! And look at the hundreds of Nepal fans in the stands, continuously cheering and shouting for their team for four hours or more! You simply cannot write a better script. Nepal, this is your moment to cherish, your moment to enjoy, and your moment to thrive! Alright, back to cricket now. It was a fuller length ball in the slot around the off stump line, Allen hangs back deep inside the crease and whacks it straight and flat towards long off. Bhurtel took the initial grab, tossed the ball high into the field as he lost his balance and went over the ropes, then jumped back in to complete a spectacular catch!
