Nepal are ranked 16th in the world and are no mugs. They should of beat South Africa a couple of years ago but shit the bed in the final over, and they've beaten The West Indies.

Netherlands beating England at Lords in 2009 was a much bigger shock.

Ah right didn’t know that! Looks like they have a chance here 10 of 6 balls they need
 
I'm working abroad, and see a Nepalese lad in the gym most days. He works on the site. Today he was sat on one of the benches in the gym excited for this contest. I'm certain he should have been working but I don't blame him one bit for wanting to catch a bit of the cricket.

He doesn't speak much English but I'll be able to convey how incredible his cricket team have been here. They are so polite and respectful.

That was one helluva scare they have given England. What a game, and what an effort by Nepal.
 
Late to the party, but what a game that was on Sunday! Credit to Nepal, they gave us a real test. They beat the Windies, albeit a much changed side, in a 3 match T20 series not long ago so they're definitely showing their ability to compete with the best.

This is one good thing about T20 cricket, there's always the ability for an underdog to cause a shock on their day. UAE going well against NZ here - need to up the rate to 10 an over considering the wickets they have in hand. It's normally the difference between the top sides and the rest, squeezing the margins under pressure. Jack's scored critical runs off the final over for England, Curran bowled superbly in the final over to restrict Nepal.
