Nepal achieved a historic victory by defeating West Indies by 19 runs in the opening T20I at Sharjah, marking their first-ever win against an ICC full-member nation. Skipper Rohit Paudel and Kushal Malla contributed to Nepal’s total of 148 for 8, overcoming strong bowling performances from Jason Holder and Navin Bidaisee.

This win signifies Nepal’s growing presence in world cricket and sets the stage for a potential series victory as they prepare for the second T20I on September 29.
