In attempting to chase 149, the West Indies struggled for much of the innings, despite some fight. Kyle Mayers fell early, and Nepal's disciplined bowling attack kept taking wickets at key moments throughout the innings. Kushal Bhurtel (2/17), Lalit Rajbanshi (1/6), and captain Paudel himself added to the pressure with the ball. Navin Bidaisee made an impressive debut, scoring 22 after taking 3/29. The lower-order batsmen Fabian Allen (19) and Akeal Hosein (18) were unable to score at a sufficient run-rate, as West Indies managed only 129/9, allowing Nepal to celebrate a historic and memorable victory.
