00:00So it's the Rangiri Dambulu Stadium where international cricket is played.

00:07Dambulu is on the cricketing map because of the Rangiri Dambulu Stadium and coming up

00:12is India.

00:13The reigning Asian champions taking on Nepal.

00:16We are expecting a very good game, India versus Nepal.

00:25The toss happened a little while earlier and India had absolutely no hesitation in batting

00:30first.

00:31Smriti Mandana was standing in for the regular captain batting first after they won the toss.

00:37Here comes the Indian openers and what can we expect from them?

00:40They are Nepali bowlers are up against them.

00:43So Shefali will be on strike, Kabita will bowl from the far end, slip in and play says

00:50the umpire.

00:51Here comes the first ball, on the pad, straight away going for a foolish length delivery on

00:59the leg stump and a single.

01:05Seems to enjoy pace, now that burst through the hands, did it and goes for four.

01:15Don't bowl friendly full tosses like that after a good delivery.

01:19Again runs on the first over with the boundary of the last ball.

01:27That's a four, that's a very good shot for any cricketer, a straight drive is always

01:33pleasant to look.

01:37On the pads and that will run away to the boundary, becoming a little bit too easy for

01:42the Indian openers.

01:47Lovely drive, lovely timing, what about that for timing, she didn't hit it, she just timed

01:52it.

01:53Oh, sounded so good, goes high, goes long, flat, hard, one bounce, four, that's a lovely

02:16ball to get, if you just want to get your innings going.

02:22To be honest, that's not such a bad ball, because Shefali is expecting it to be full.

02:2826 balls 50 for Shefali Verma, in blistering breathtaking form this tournament, 10th 50

02:37in 2028, 3rd in 2024 and a 2nd in the Asia Cup.

02:43Now Hema's got some height, she has got the distance, high quality six from Dayalan Hemlata.

02:58Short and wide and it's four, that is asking to be hit at that pace, that length, drags

03:07it from outside the off stump, this should find the boundary, this is becoming a little

03:13bit too easy for the Indian openers.

03:17Down the ground, will this be taken, will this be taken, oh yes, second attempt, second

03:22attempt, she's caught it, Rubina is the catcher, straight away, this is a very good shot, this

03:32is a powerful shot, this is Shefali, lent into it and went over cover, gone, gone, surely,

03:45will go upstairs, but it looks like, I think she's, oh okay, I think she's just checking

03:50the collection point, huge sigh of relief from Nepal, which is matched, it's all in

04:07the past, well what a lovely shot that turned out to be, thought initially she didn't time

04:12it as well sad enough, but it's timed well enough to go for four, I think it's outside

04:20the line, no given, given LBW in front, so Kavita Joshi has struck and Nepal continue

04:30to just pull India back towards the end.

04:42That is such a productive region for Richa Ghosh, it's gone for four, steps out, she

04:52will get the distance here, one bounce four, picked the gap beautifully, that is flat and

05:02that's another boundary, so Jemima is finishing the innings off with a flourish, and it is

05:10long off in business, will they push for the second, I think they were content with

05:17one.

05:18So India finish 178-4-3.

05:19Right up there, Shefali Verma, 81, some incredible clean hitting we witness here tonight, and

05:31that is the end of the first half, Jemima Rodrigues, with Richa, that has sent momentum

05:44back towards India, posting 178, 178 then, and Nepal will need to get 179, and that run

05:54chase is coming up, and out walk the Nepal openers, here we go, Renuka to Samjhana, confidence

06:05start, slightly over pitched, middle of the bat, and what a lovely way to kick off the

06:11Nepal innings from Samjhana Khadka, cleaned up from Arundhati, back in India colours,

06:21and back among the wickets, Samjhana has to walk back scoring 7, Nepal 8-4-1, her to

06:30open and as we speak there is a fall off wicket, a very easy catch to Smriti Mandana at mid

06:36off, Nepal have lost their second, Kabita has gone for 6, and they are 21-2 now, and

06:45that's a full swing of the bat, mid off, inside the ring, full vacant area behind her, little

06:50bit fuller, too full, and the width was there as well, helped herself to 4 more, down to

06:58long on, should be taken, made it look very easy, well she's been good since being out

07:04there, but her innings have come to an end, the captain, 14 from 18, Nepal 43-3, and the

07:10teams will have a drink. Nice looking shot, got the width that she was looking for, great

07:19timing as well, just allowed the ball to do the work, found the gap between cover and

07:23point. And it will race away for 4, Eniwit and Sitara Namagal, and what a comeback from

07:37Arundhati, ready, hit for 4, first ball, and straight through, Sitara Namagal the next,

07:45Nepal lose 4. Alright, Rubina goes down the ground, and I think she might have got that

07:57all the way, she has. Rubina looking set, and as you see, is that a commentator's jinx?

08:05Did I just do that? That's just a really good comeback from the wily Deepti Sharma.

08:13Nepal lose their 5th, they're 64-5. And then again, that's a big shout, and gone, the run

08:22score from the last game, Joshi, we were looking for her to entertain us, but the wicket's

08:26starting to tumble now for Nepal, 2 in the over for Deepti, just the 6 runs but 2 wickets,

08:33and they're 64-6 on reeling. You know, we might have another look at that, that throw

08:45came in like a rocket, Salima Emtiaz will go upstairs. You know your momentum's not

08:51going quickly enough forward, if your feet are able to be like that, and her hips are

08:56so far back, but I think she's short of her ground, so good decision to go upstairs because

09:01Nepal have just lost yet another wicket.

09:32Yeah, just enough turn to deceive Dolly, nice there, stuck on crease, no foot movement

09:42whatsoever, slight bit of edges, another one down for Thailand, Dolly Bhattar gone on 5,

09:5282 for 2. Is that taken? Is that clearly taken? Well, they'll want to check, right?

10:11The catch is clean. You can slow it down, slow it down if you can, but that's definitely

10:23out. Yeah, that's the confirmation, that's wicket number 9 for Nepal, Deepti Sharma gets

10:31her third wicket. Shrestha goes for 3, Nepal 93-9 in the 20th over. Running with it, running

10:56with it, and they get the single. They're down to the last two deliveries. That's a

11:05big hit, goes with a couple of bounds to the deep mid wicket. Deepti Sharma picking it

11:15up and I think she's in. Nepal will end on 96 for 9 at the end of 20 overs. India winning

11:23convincingly, batted well, bowled well and fielded well. Nepal on the other hand will

11:30take a lot of the positives out of this match, putting up a fight not just in batting but

11:36in bowling as well against one of the best oppositions in the world. And that is the

11:44final scorecard, the match summary, India a very impressive 178 for 3, but Nepal will

11:49pat themselves on the back for restricting India to 178 because they looked like getting

11:54over 200 at one stage. And in reply, Nepal 96 for 9.
