England Survive Nepal Scare in T20 Thriller

NEW DELHI: (Web Desk) – England survived a major scare to edge past Nepal by four runs in a dramatic T20 World Cup clash in Mumbai on Sunday, as Sam Curran kept his composure in a tense final over to deny the underdogs a historic upset.

Chasing 185, Nepal mounted a fearless run chase and finished on 180 for six, falling agonisingly short despite putting England’s bowling attack under immense pressure. Earlier, England posted 184 for seven after opting to bat, with Jacob Bethell and Harry Brook scoring brisk half-centuries, while a late cameo from Will Jacks boosted the total. Nepal’s reply was led by aggressive stroke play from Lokesh Bam and Dipendra Singh Airee, thrilling a packed Wankhede Stadium crowd.
