Yuvraj Samra's 105 Fires Canada to Victory
Canada have won by 24 runs. Canada batted first and posted 256/10 in 50 overs. Nepal, chasing 257, fell short at 232/10 in 46 overs.
Yuvraj Samra was the standout in the first innings, scoring 105 off 117 balls (SR 90). 4 sixes and 11 fours provided the impetus.
Arjun Kumal fought hard with 87 off 112 balls, but it was not enough to haul Nepal over the line. The required rate climbed too steeply in the end.
With the ball, Lalit Rajbanshi delivered figures of 4/39 in 10 overs (Econ 3.9). A match-defining spell that tore through the batting order.
NEP lead the series 19-3. The pressure is firmly on the chasing side now.
The Turning Point
The result was shaped by a series of small moments rather than one dramatic turning point. The winning side was simply more clinical in their execution across both innings.
