Nepal sent a strong message to the cricketing world with a thrilling four-wicket win over West Indies A in the first T20I. Chasing a target of 205, Nepal rode on a magnificent century from skipper Rohit Paudel (112 off 54) to secure a dramatic victory with two balls to spare.
This win is huge boost for Nepal as they achieved it against a strong West Indies A side featuring as many as 10 players with international experience, including captain Roston Chase (49 Tests, 45 ODIs, 11 T20Is) and opener Alick Athanaze (4 Tests, 10 ODIs).
One of the great wins in Nepali cricketing history over a very strong West Indies side in front of 20,000+ with a truly unforgettable captain's innings from Rohit Paudel with 112 off 54 balls as Nepal chase down 204 to go 1-0 up in the series!!

Even more impressively, Nepal accomplished this feat without their premier spinner Sandeep Lamichhane. Paudel’s knock was a masterclass in power hitting, laced with 10 fours and 6 sixes. He was ably supported by Dipendra Singh Airee’s cameo of 24 runs from 18 balls.
Earlier, West Indies A posted a competitive total of 204 on the board, thanks to contributions from Roston Chase (74 off 46), Athanaze (47 off 25), and Keacy Carty (38 off 26). With this win, they have shown that they are no pushovers and will be a force to be reckoned with at the upcoming T20 World Cup.
