At long last, Nepal notched up its first victory at the expense of  Scotland in the men’s ICC Twenty20 World Cup cricket tournament in  Mumbai,India. They put on an impressive and incredible performance to get the better of Scotland by seven wickets. The win ended the losing streak and finally sent their army of supporters who had packed the Wankhede stadium for every match of Nepal into a celebratory frenzy. After winning the toss,Nepal opted to field first. The decision seemed to have backfired as  the bowlers struggled to contain the Scottish openers  from  scoring runs with ease.The first wicket  partnership  yielded 80 runs.
