Early Wobble for Pakistan
Pakistan batted first and openers Usman Khan and Jahangir Bilal added 45 for the first wicket. Nepal then struck back. Bipin Sharma removed Usman for 19, Sachin Bhatt dismissed Jahangir for 22, and Abdul Qadir fell for 6. At 57 for 2 in the 16th over, and soon three down, Pakistan needed a rebuild.
Farhan Yousaf and Ahmed Hussain Take Charge
Captain Farhan Yousaf and Ahmed Hussain turned the innings around with a 135-run stand for the fourth wicket. Farhan made 74 off 95 balls with six fours and three sixes before Sushil Rawal got him.
Hussain kept going. He added another 50 with Hasnain Abbas Dar and finished with 89 off 73 balls, hitting seven fours and two sixes. Hasnain chipped in with 25 off 23, and Hamza Zahoor’s quick 11 off 7 helped Pakistan reach 275 for 7.
Ahmed Hussain Finishes the Job With the Ball
Nepal never found a big partnership in the chase. Rohit Chand top-scored with 37, while Niraj Kumar Yadav (29), Suryanshu Koirala (22), Abhay Yadav (23) and Darsh Sonar (20) all got starts but could not go on.
Ahmed Hussain was the difference again. After his 89, he bowled his full 10 overs for 4 wickets and 35 runs. Mohammad Sayyam and Mohammad Huzaifa took two wickets each, while Rizwanullah and Jahangir Bilal picked up one apiece. Nepal were bowled out for 174 in 43.4 overs.
