...Presentation...
Earlier in the game, Nepal were bowled out for 122 runs after being invited to bat first. Kushal Bhurtel's 39 off 29 balls was the highlight, but the middle and lower order struggled to build momentum. Despite a 41-run opening partnership, wickets fell regularly, and Nepal couldn't post a competitive total. For West Indies, Ramon Simmonds was the star of the show, taking 4/15 in just 3 overs. Jediah Blades picked up 2 wickets, while Akeal Hosein and Jason Holder supported with key breakthroughs.
Nepal knew they were coming into the chase well short of runs and Rohit Paudel can't blame his bowlers here to defend such a score. They did showed what they are capable of with the ball in this tour but with the series in the bag, bit of laid back performance was seen as Nepal allowed quite a few freebies to roll in.
A consolation win for West Indies but they have ended the tour with a massive performance. Playing with authority, West Indies have shown what they are capable of as they have made amockery of this under-par score.
