00:00After winning the toss, the West Indies told Nepal to bat first in the opening T20 International in Sharjah.
00:08Captain Akeel Hussain took the first wicket with Amir Jangu's smart piece of stumping making it 8-for-1.
00:16Make that 12-for-2 as Jason Holder also opened his account with Casey Carty being the one to take the catch.
00:24Captain Rohit Pordale and Kushal Mahler had to rebuild the innings.
00:31They put on a partnership of 58 for the third wicket.
00:37Debutant Narvin Bidesi sent Mahler back to the dugout for 3-2.
00:44He then removed Pordale for a top score of 38.
00:50Gulshan Jha then chipped in with an important 22 with two sixes.
00:58Bidesi was the man to remove him to end with three wickets.
01:01Casey Carty in the deep just managed to hold on to the catch.
01:08But Holder ended with four scalps as Nepal closed on 148-for-8 from their 20-overs.
01:17When West Indies responded, Kyle Mayers was brilliantly run out by Kushal Burtale for 5.
01:24Amir Jangu was looking good hitting a couple of boundaries.
01:28But with a score on 19, he played an impetuous stroke and it became 53-for-4.
01:38That soon became 76-for-6 with Jason Holder playing a rash shot and paying the price.
01:51Navin Bidesi would then top score with 22 comprising a 4 and a 6.
01:59Then a freak dismissal as Bidesi was out hit wicket giving Kushal Burtale two scalps.
02:06With a run rate climbing, Hossein went for a big one but instead had to depart for 18.
02:12With 28 to get of the final over, Fabian Allen could not do much with the willow.
02:18He was out of the final ball and the Wendy's mortified.
02:27They were restricted to 129-for-9 as Nepal created history with a 19-run win and a 1-0 lead in the three-game series.
02:34With some excellence on the boundary.
02:37Then we would now our native export.
02:38With some excellence on the boundary.
02:39Then we would now our native export.
02:41Well, that is a lot faster.
02:42You will have a very...
02:43You will have a very fortunate effort.
02:44If you're using strategic depth with that of our native screen again.
02:48So that is actually the G- observing field.
02:50I think we are talking as a¡e b***h reference with new linhard bands.
03:06All три.
