Nepal secured their first T20 World Cup victory since 2014 with a thrilling seven-wicket win over Scotland in Mumbai. Dipendra Singh Airee starred with a blistering unbeaten 50 off just 23 balls, guiding his team to 171-3 in 19.2 overs to chase down Scotland's 170-7.

Scotland, led by Michael Jones' fluent 71, appeared set for an above-par total before collapsing from 132-1 to 162-7. Sompal Kami's three-wicket burst and Tom Leask's spin bowling helped restrict the Scots. Nepal's chase began steadily, with both openers benefiting from dropped catches, before Airee's late onslaught sealed the win.

This victory provides redemption for Nepal after their heartbreaking last-ball defeat to England in the tournament opener. For Scotland, who were late replacements after Bangladesh's withdrawal, the loss marks another disappointment in a campaign that yielded just one win from four matches.
