And they say its different to win a war then to win a battle, it has been a huge war since 14 years and Nepal have tried to win against UAE but failed more then 5 times.Finally the dream come true for the Nepalese after 13 years.A win came and came with new hope with new doors open.This is the first time since 1998 Nepal have won against the UAE after 5 consecutive defeat against them and its a history to win against UAE for the first time in 50 overs format. The strength of Nepalese seems miraculous this time.Their way of handling pressure is seems like they are some test playing nation and to drag you team towards the victory in crucial situation is the most inspiring and magical moment for the Affiliated nation like Nepal who has always been blamed for their poor bating strategy.Very slow but exceptional inning played by Anil mandal who kept the hope alive after Nepal were 11/3 in 6.3 overs. The scoring rate of Nepalese slow down deep and seems in great trouble for just to score very low total. At one stage they were at 49 in 25 overs with an rate of 2 when destructively get their settle S Veswakar out of scoring 16 runs of 51 balls. Then came KP of Nepal Airee who scored fast 17(24) with 2 sixes without any four and finally boosted his side for the victory.It was very low total for the Nepalese other wise they would be in great trouble to score without their star batsman,they did well at last and of course a win is a win finally.But a lot is to do for the players for the matches coming rest of the tournament.Great batting display from Mandal 63(129) and even Aire was terrific hitting two sixes out of which one six right on the top tear of the Sharjah ground.Historical ground recording yet another history beating the host after more than a decade.
In this glorious moment we should not forget that the bowling side UAE put excessive pressure on Nepalese batsman. The victory is not in their hand but they have totally controlled Nepali side. Over all it was Nepalese day to win the match but this performance might not lead side quit far in grasping the dream of Asia Cup and finally ODI status. A lot of improvement in team and combination is still seems lacking. Along the middle of the inning Nepalese side put on pressure to them self with lack of strategic strike rotate, so improvement in strike rotating ability will finally lead Nepal to open new door to make next historic win against the giant Afghanistan.
