That brings an end to our coverage of this game and also this 2-match ODI series. Nepal showed character and won the decisive moments of the game. They deserve the win and rightly so. That's all from our side. Switch tabs and enjoy the coverage of the England vs India Test. It's turning out to be a thrilling contest. Goodbye, for now.
18:48 Local Time, 16:48 GMT, 22:18 IST: What a fantastic game of cricket. It went down right down the wire and it were Nepal who held their nerves in the final overs and managed to pull off a thrilling win. Wesley Barresi played a gem of a knock but Sandeep Lamichanne bowled a magical spell wherein he bagged three crucial wickets. The Dutch tail-enders took the game deep but it was the Nepal captain who got that all important run-out and helped Nepal notch up their first ever win in ODIs. Not to forget the fifties brought up by him and Sompal earlier in the day. So pivotal. Their fans would be happy as this marks a memorable day for them. Hopefully, first of many to come.
