Nepal have now secured a place in World Cup qualifiers for the 2023 ICC World Cup which is scheduled to be hosted by India. Batting first UAE piled on a massive 310 at the loss of six wickets. Vriitya Aravind registered an excellent 94 while Muhammad Waseem scored a brilliant 63 as UAE posted a competitive total.

But Nepal made sure that they remain on the right path as they were 42 runs away from a victory. This is when the umpires announced that play cannot be continued due to the bad light. Nepal managed to grab a win as they were nine runs ahead as per the DLS method. Local residents climbed up on trees to enjoy a brilliant day of cricket featuring their national team.
