9.4 Thakur to Bhurtel, SIX runs

Banged in short and sliding down the leg side, with fine leg inside the circle. There is only one result possible and that's Bhurtel helping it over short fine for another boundary

Nepal Innings

9.5 Thakur to Bhurtel, OUT

Shardul Thakur: golden arm. Strikes in his first over. On a good length and seams away against the inward angle. Bhurtel fiddles with it and edges it behind to Kishan, who makes no mistake this time. Relief for India
