Nepal’s spinners caught up with South Africa by posting a below-par 115/7 in their allotted 20 overs.

In total, Nepal bowled 14 overs of spin as Dipendra Singh Airee (3 off 21) and Kushal Bhurtel (4 off 19) wreaked havoc. Sandeep Lamichhane (0 for 18) did not take a wicket but he was very economical (4.50).
