Scotland secured a thrilling two-run victory over Nepal in a rain-affected ODI in Kirtipur. After posting a competitive 243-8, largely thanks to opener George Munsey's blistering 75, Scotland's bowlers held their nerve. Nepal fell short despite a valiant chase, needing 13 off the final over but only managing 11.

The match took dramatic twists with rain interruptions forcing a revised target of 221 in 39 overs for Nepal. Captain Rohit Paudel and Dipendra Singh Airee brought Nepal back into contention before being dismissed. Brad Currie proved the hero with figures of 3-43, restricting Nepal in the final over despite Gulshan Jha's unbeaten 61 from 35 deliveries.

Scotland now share top spot in the Cricket World Cup League 2 with USA on 36 points, though they've played five more games. Captain Richie Berrington praised his team's ability to hold nerve under pressure. Scotland's next challenge comes against USA on Thursday, with both teams eager to strengthen their position in the league standings.
