Rohit Paudel: We would have bowled first. We did well in the first six overs, we struggled in the middle overs. Sompal Kami comes in.

Shai Hope: Good morning, we're going to bowl first this time. Look a little bit of moisture in the surface, probably a little bit more damp than we expected , so try to utilize as much as we can. (How to keep the same intensity?) You just said it, we just need to do the same thing. It's important for us to ensure that we cover all our bases. We understand the threat that they can pose. So it's important that we just focus on our processes and hit all the straps that we can. Yes, one change. Shepherd out, Matthew Forde comes in. Slight little niggle, Shepherd's been struggling a little bit, but we just want to make sure precautionary measures are being in place and Forde can come in and do the job. So we're very happy to give him some rest today.

Nepal Innings

0.5 Hosein to Bhurtel, OUT

Hosein draws first blood! Bowls the menacing non-turner ball drifting in with the shiny new ball, Bhurtel moves onto the back foot to negate across the line, goes through the gates and crashes onto the stumps. The batter stands there for a few seconds, tries to process the whole scenario, then trudges off back to the dug-out. Fourth time Hosein dismissed Bhurtel in T20I cricket.
