Karan KC’s new-ball burst stamps Nepal’s dominance over USA

Nepal medium pacer Karan KC left a devastated USA top order in his wake with 4 for 11 in a seven-over new-ball burst to set up a six-wicket win at Takashinga Sports Club.

For the second match in a row, a maiden ODI century was made in vain for USA as Shavan Jahangir was left unbeaten on an even 100 off 79 balls with his side bowled out for 207 in 49 overs. Coming off a golden duck against Zimbabwe, Bhim Shark’s unbeaten 77 ensured the total was hauled down with ease as they cantered across the line with seven overs to spare.

Nepal 211 for 4 in 43 overs (Kushal Bhurtel 39, Bhim Sharki 77*, Dipendra Singh Airee 39*; Steven Taylor 1-14) beat USA 207 in 49 overs (Sushant Modani 42, Gajand Singh 26, Shavan Jahangir 100*; Karan KC 4-33, Gulsan Jha 3-52) by six wickets
