In a dramatic finish to the ICC World Cup League 2 clash in Dundee, Nepal pulled off a stunning one-wicket victory over Scotland with just one ball remaining. Chasing 297 for victory, Nepal’s last-wicket pair scrambled across the line after a wide delivery from Mark Watt sealed the result, sparking wild celebrations from Nepalese fans who stormed the pitch. The match looked firmly in Scotland’s grip after reducing Nepal from a strong 152-2 to 192-7. But Karan KC, coming in at No.9, delivered a sensational counterattack with an unbeaten 65 off 41 balls, smashing four sixes in the process. He guided Nepal home with nerves of steel, making 18 runs in the 49th over before keeping his cool in the final over. With Nepal needing five off the last three balls, Karan hit two consecutive twos. Then, with the scores tied and one ball left, Watt’s delivery down the leg side was deemed a wide, handing Nepal an improbable win. A delayed decision from the umpire caused the fans to erupt as they rushed onto the pitch. Also READ: IPL 2025 Final: Will Tim David return for RCB vs PBKS?
