Nepal clinches historic last-ball ODI win over Scotland in Dundee

Nepal achieved a historic and thrilling one-wicket victory over Scotland in a World Cup League 2 ODI match in Dundee, marking their highest-ever successful run chase of 297. The match was highlighted by a dramatic final ball wide delivery from Scotland's Mark Watt, which handed Nepal the win and sparked a pitch invasion from their fans. Karan KC was the standout performer, scoring an unbeaten 65 off 41 balls, including crucial boundaries in the final overs and forming a vital 60-run eighth-wicket partnership with Gulshan Jha. Scotland, who batted first, posted a competitive 296/7 with notable contributions from Charlie Tear and Finlay McCreath, but their bowlers could not contain Nepal's late-game surge. Nepal, under new head coach Stuart Law and supported by consultant coach Nic Pothas, had prepared extensively in the UK with practice matches before the tri-series. This victory marks Nepal’s third win in the CWC League 2 and offers hope for improved performance as the team looks to defy the odds in the ongoing competition.
