Hosts Nepal secured a six-wicket victory over Scotland in their Cricket World Cup League 2 encounter. Scotland's 194 total proved insufficient after Brandon McMullen's explosive 73 and Michael English's steady 51, as Lalit Rajbanshi claimed four crucial wickets including Scotland captain Richie Berrington and Michael Leask.

Nepal's chase featured early setbacks with Khushal Bhurtel lbw for 28 and Aasif Sheikh run out for 29 after an initial flurry of boundaries. Rohit Paudel's unbeaten 74 and Ishan Pandey's 55 steered the home team to victory with six wickets in hand, finishing the contest emphatically with a six that sealed the win.

The triumph gives Nepal two wins in the tri-series after their earlier defeat to Scotland. The hosts now face the United States in their final match on Friday, while Scotland play the US again on Wednesday. Both teams continue their World Cup qualifying campaign with the series serving as crucial preparation for the upcoming global tournament.
