Nepal secured its semi-final berth for the ICC Under-19 Plate Championship by beating Scotland by 48 runs in Auckland today.
Nepal had the benefit of a 102-run opening partnership between Kanishka Chaugai (43) and Yashwant Subedi (45) and built on that with Bardan Chalise adding 30, Sakthi Gauchan 31 and Binod Das 27 not out to see the side to 205/5 off their 50 overs.
Stewart Leggat took two for 28 with his off spinners and Moneeb Iqbal two for 33.
Scotland got off to a poor start and while Brendan McKerchar scored 42, Steven Gilmour 29 and Iqbal 28 but the side could only total 157, as Gauchan finished with three for 32.
Nepal will now play Bangladesh in the Plate semi-final at Lincoln No 3 on Wednesday.
