Match Highlights
Nepal started slow with no loss of wickets in the first few overs; however, as the bowlers upped the ante, the opponent’s lineup fell and went from 48/0 to 77/7, leaving them slim to no chance to get back in the game.
Player of the Match was given to Maharashtra youngster Dhas for his crucial century. Accepting the award, he said he idolizes Sachin Tendulkar and that’s why he has taken the jersey no. 10.
