00:11from all over the world they come to india and sri lanka specifically today to mumbai for this
00:19wonderful carnival of cricket we've had a few in mumbai recently but this is wonderful because
00:24it features nepal who made such a wonderful start they come from that lovely country up there
00:29up against italy in their first t20 world cup what an occasion it would be for them
00:34and it's these two teams we saw the nepalese fans come in huge numbers in their game against
00:41england and italy i'm sure back home they won't be short on support either
00:48this is where we are nepal versus italy here at the 1k stadium that has hosted so many wonderful
00:55cricket matches over the years so here we are that's how nepal line up to the hotel and asif
01:01paudel was so good ivy's an excellent player then arif lokesh bomb beach and jar
01:06current casey nandan yadda was excellent with the ball momsons alongside me tell us about italy
01:11actually winning the toss and looking to bowl first it's a couple of changes for them today
01:16it just reads sing in for thomas dracker and marcus campapiano in for the injured wayne madsen
01:23they threatened at times against scotland in their first fixture so they're looking to put
01:27things right today kushal brutal got them off to a fabulous start against england
01:35alongside him asif sheik they're starting with an off spinner against two right-handers ben
01:41menenti well well actually quite here's the first ball ben menenti
01:56oh just over just over and will find its way to the boundary for the first
02:02of what i suspect will be a few over the next body overs
02:05michael bettel needs to unleash those arms hits it over the ring
02:12first boundary of the innings
02:20first boundary of the innings
02:20straight in straight in straight in man justin from the point
02:25burtel was charging he's not going to play the kind of innings he did against england
02:31justin mosca does the work here hassan ali it's that hard length
02:37michael bettel trying to hit here's that ring again not the cleanest of takes but that won't
02:43matter to him or italy they've got their first pole danger man goes for five nepal eight for one
02:54what it means is that the captain is in roy fardel strikes about 120 or thereabouts
03:04just beats the field with his ways to get boundary and there are other ways to get a boundary
03:09you can only find the inside edge of a massive shake
03:16that's nepal's second boundary of the day
03:24this time more in control better placed and four more
03:30it's a good position which looks like an off cutter rolling the fingers over that one
03:36it's nice and fine cross that short fine leg
03:45quiet hold of that one
03:47they waited a while for it
03:49this is the first biggie
03:52roy fardell hits the first six
03:56slightly over pitched chair from smuts just invites the shot from perel just the one step
04:03this is those arms 76 meters back first six of the innings
04:12picked up and picked up a long way
04:16could be a case of 12 v 11 here today that's brought the crowd to life pedal second maximum
04:24pick the off cutter and it was hit in the direction where his two deep fielders are
04:30so if you're sure you're disappointed it's gone for six but at least you've forced
04:35rowid powdel to hit where your protection is very capable side
04:42drag down fielder at long arm holds on
04:46and paddle looking for a third maximum perishes
04:51not necessarily the best delivery
04:54pedal was looking to go square but he could only pick out long arm in the deep
05:01road will be disappointed with it was too far outside the line above the off stump for him to hit
05:07it's square up if you're pulling it from that far outside off stump usually it goes a little bit
05:13straighter not into the gap not over the boundary not just quick scoring he's a good young captain but
05:20he's gone for 23 49 for two
05:29massive chair depender singhary to the crease
05:39well then keeper convinced as a assy shake just absent-mindedly
05:47copy copy that review for a stumping standby
05:52freeze it there thanks
05:54yeah there's nothing grounded behind the line nothing grounded behind the line thank you i'm ready to
05:59make our decision for the big screen OUT saying all terms the line belongs to
06:07the umpire so higher-ranked team at least to start with 20 from 20 for Asif
06:14Sheik 49 for three
06:18Arif Sheik the Iceman to the crease Nepal probably trending downwards this
06:25one's pulled away finds the gap and we'll find four good identification of
06:31that shorter length that we were just showing and Arif Sheik gets his first
06:36boundary
06:39nice control to be able to hit it square because it's straighter in line as
06:45opposed to Rohit Paudel good effort
06:53clever outfield is a friend of the batter so welcome boundary for Arif Sheik
06:58and Stuart uh although he's running his fingers down the side of the ball there
07:02has got a bit more pace and with the fielder up inside the circle
07:14waited for it just needed to get back on ball pick up the voice here the Nepal fans
07:21back-to-back boundaries for Arif Sheik for the opening 10 overs but a couple of
07:26boundaries here Arif Sheik just starting to give some impetus to this innings
07:37beauty Kalugamage
07:38it was the googly perhaps and Arif Sheik didn't pick it
07:44yeah apt timing this to take the wicket for Kalugamage
07:50it's the googly it's a good one just coming back both on the angle and out of the back of
07:56the hand
07:56Dependra Singh Irie don't know whether he didn't pick it or just took the wrong option but either way
08:01he will pay a heavy price and Nepal now 93 for four Irie gone for 17
08:10almost the hero for Nepal in the last game
08:13Lokesh Bam
08:14haven't really seen the ball turn significantly yet this afternoon
08:20big shots fielder in the deep thinks he's in it excellent catch
08:27yeah big wicket given the damage that Lokesh Bam can inflict
08:33AJ Mosca who put down a catch an important catch in that first game
08:38he put down George Munsey this time makes no mistake out in the deep and he looks absolutely
08:44delighted with the result as well he might
08:48with Sanja number seven plenty of time still
08:56and once again finds a fielder it's that kind of day for Italy
09:02they've showed great discipline and awareness in the field to hold their chances
09:08we were discussing fielding earlier how important it is real pressure on Nepal as the wickets keep tumbling keep falling
09:18I think current KC
09:27once again it seems that every time a ball is in the air it finds a fielder underneath just one
09:35of those days
09:39Rohit Paudel couldn't execute his pull shot Arif couldn't execute his
09:46Gulshan Jah who strikes the ball reasonably well when on some hits it straight to Longhorn
09:52Gulshan Jah goes for three one or two for seven
09:55Nandan Yadav is the new batter pulled so well the other night
10:06and one more
10:12miscommunication
10:15apparent KC wanted it but he didn't want it
10:18sold his partner down the river whether he would have made it if he'd gone anyway
10:23Yadav is angry and he's gone one or two for eight
10:28Sandeep Lammechani comes in this
10:31quite the best known of all the Nepalese cricketers
10:40now there is a hit there is a hit the fans and the players have been yearning for
10:48for Nepal in the past he picked the slower ball quite nicely
10:55again straight is the weed
10:5810 of the silver
11:02more rounds might beat the fielder
11:04this is running away to the boundary the crowd has found its voice again
11:09it's a nice touch
11:11it actually surprised me the pace it went down there with to beat by sweeper who came in off the
11:16screen to the left
11:22straight up just inside the circle he's called for it and he holds it
11:27they were pointed captain in the tournament only lasted four overs
11:32they didn't equip themselves that well against Scotland they talked about nerves and miss execution
11:39today so far they've barely put a foot round
11:42that's routine
11:44Sandeep Lammechani goes for five one two three four nine
11:50right Lalitraj Banshi is in at eleven
11:56trouble at the non-striker then here it's
12:00they have been outstanding in the field of the Italians
12:04they fielded everything they've caught everything now they're hitting the stumps as well
12:09the bowlers have been magnificent but they've had some genuine friends as fielders
12:17excellent from Harry Manenti
12:19the way that he picked it up and turned quickly angled his body
12:24to hit it bullseye
12:26and as they walk off
12:29the team in that very very famous blue
12:33the team in that very very famous blue
12:33will be the happier of the two sides
12:36lots of questions to be asked
12:38in that Nepal dressing room
12:40but most important
12:41will be a positive one
12:44can we defend this
12:47Nepal have made it difficult for themselves to say the least
12:50Italy were exceptional in that first innings
12:53they will need 124 to take a first ever world cup win of any kind
12:58Nepal are going to need to drag them into the chaos
13:00can they is the big question
13:02and they are not without their chances
13:05just in Moscow
13:06butterflies are
13:08gangling around after a first baller against Scotland
13:12he will be eager to get up and running
13:14in this tournament
13:20interesting to see it's going to be Karen Casey
13:22and Poqueiro himself
13:25to get things going
13:30immediate movement and shape on offer
13:33stock delivery
13:37great pick up stroke
13:40agricultural yes but highly effective
13:43bottom hand comes through soars for six
13:45see that back lift
13:47the bat is going back with a good deal of intent
13:50and he essentially just picks up a perfectly good length ball
13:58every batting
14:00using the pace on the ball
14:02to get it up and over the head of Nandan Yadav
14:04early concerns for Nepal
14:06and Italy's flag flying high
14:10500 runs up now for AJ Mosca
14:12and T20 internationals
14:14it's a smart bit of batting that actually
14:15because he got that front foot way across
14:22superb
14:23and this may well go all the way
14:27understandably a few nerves jangling
14:28having struggled against Scotland
14:30in that opening game
14:31and missed a couple on his pads early on
14:33but haven't got off the mark now
14:39really well guided
14:40outfielders quick
14:41will just chase in vain
14:44boundaries coming
14:45with a flurry
14:47powerful punch over the leg side
14:49with something a little more delicate
14:52just guiding this down
14:53through third
14:55nicely played
14:59just
15:00out of the reach of Kuchel Bertel
15:02a flying Kuchel Bertel
15:05looking to come at
15:06Karen Casey
15:07did go in the air
15:09wasn't far away
15:11from the fingertips of Bertel
15:13but
15:20there
15:21goes again
15:21gets it again
15:24Raj Banshee
15:25left arm spin so
15:27try and get the left-hander on strike if you can
15:30and take advantage of the matchup
15:37Oh
15:37it's standing
15:38superb
15:39batting
15:41exploits the change in field
15:42straight deep mid wicket
15:45so watch how he gets way outside
15:47off stump
15:49almost on the return crease by the time he's hit that ball
15:55fantastic batting
16:00six more
16:01this is quite superb
16:04it's a double decker all the way up there
16:07the 50 comes up in just four overs
16:10it's 50 for none
16:12tremendous blow
16:13he's just giving it a little bit of air
16:15he's floated it up on the batter's eye line
16:18down on one knee
16:19and hit that a long long way
16:21what an opening partnership
16:23this is between the Moscow brothers
16:2550 up now
16:26end of the fourth
16:32slug swept and four more
16:34well right now
16:35this is turning only one direction
16:38it's turning into a hammering
16:39Italy
16:40sensing history
16:43and as we get towards the end of the power play
16:46this is when the batters tend to want to try and
16:48put real pressure on the bowlers
16:50they've got their eye in
16:5150 on the board
16:59the Azzurri are sending the ball to the skies
17:03they might be gate crashing Nepal's party
17:06it's a phenomenal six by AJ Mosca
17:11slightly over pitch looking to give it a bit of air
17:16another one
17:16big arm swinging through the ball
17:19between hits
17:20clean hits
17:20big arm swinging through the ball
17:20back on the ground
17:26ball beyond the boundary
17:28even Lamizane cannot stop these two
17:31even Lamizane cannot stop these two
17:33once again it's clever batting here
17:36looking to hit the ball into areas where the field is on
17:41targetting that area over short fine leg he doesn't quite get all of it but he gets it fine
17:46enough he's got a hammer in his hand aj mosca dresses away to the boundary this is beautifully
17:59played the two men on the leg side boundary picks up the length so quickly down on one knee rolls
18:08the wrist right over the ball great display of a sweep shot hard in front of square
18:18all the way for six from aj mosca again
18:26he's on to this inner flash slightly short yet i'm looking to bounce it into the surface but it's
18:35all timing
18:37it's it over the man a deep square leg you can only watch as it sails over his head
18:46my goodness it sounded so good
18:50oh the italians they're in wonderland at the one kiddie 92 without loss after nine
18:58almost a front foot swivel
19:02such good touch hits it 20 meters 30 meters in front of square clean as you like
19:1750
19:21the junior mosca
19:24well played 50 of 37 for justin mosca and it's been a wonderful innings almost always in control
19:33yeah full of character because he came into this game of course having uh not made an impression in
19:40the first game in kolkata against scotland he looked a little nervous
19:47and look at what the senior does that is so well connected one gets to a 50 the other says
19:55i'm not
19:56going to leave you alone for too long anthony mosca 54 of 28 balls a slog sweep as any you
20:04will see
20:06anything you can do brother and aj has got there just a little bit quicker
20:14he goes again wonderful strike leg side fantastic batting
20:22well he's a strong lad he's really picked up his back with intent today and
20:27those sixes have generally come over the leg side over mid-wicket
20:31hit the ball cleanly and with tremendous power that's what it's all about
20:37the ball just keeps traveling to long and distant corners of the 1k stadium
20:46top-class shot this his brother has been a little more agricultural over the leg side high-class shot
20:56justin mosca right two to get
21:05one to get who would have thought i was tempted to say who would have thunk but next to a
21:12fine writer of
21:13the english language i preferred thought up one moment down the other can you play as underdogs yes can you
21:20play as front runners a little more difficult it's a no but it's a miss field it is a win
21:28a 10 wicket win for the deadians look at them celebrate they sang the national anthem with gusto

21:57moment for this team they were put away comfortably by scotland up in kolkata but they've bounced back
22:03here in real style glum faces for the nepalese fans in the stands but the smattering of italian fans
22:13absolute delight the coach called for more bravery they batted bravely bold with real skill
22:20and such an efficient fielding performance today fantastic moment this power hitting clever hitting
