In a historic moment, the Nepal cricket team gave fans back home a lot to cheer as they picked up a comprehensive 3-0 win over the USA in the T20I series. This was a significant achievement as the series win came away from home in not-so-favourable conditions. Nepal were the underdogs heading into the series, but they showed a lot of quality and comprehensively won the series.

They defeated the USA by 17 runs in the first T20I after they successfully defended 164 runs. The second T20I was a lot closer and ended as a tie. Nepal once again showed nerves of steel and fetched an impressive win in the Super Over. Their performance got better in the final game where they thrashed the hosts by eight wickets after chasing 157. Aasif Sheikh, Kushal Bhurtel, and Kushal Malla starred for the side, scoring 50, 40, and 44 respectively to lead the team to an emphatic win. This is the first time Nepal has defeated a team 3-0 in a T20I series.

Kushal Bhurtel was the star for this emphatic win as he led the charge with the bat, scoring 142 runs in three matches at an average of 142. Sompal Kami ended the series as Nepal's top bowler, taking five wickets in three games, at an average of 18.40.

Meanwhile, fans on social media expressed delight over the remarkable feat.

Nepal will next take on USA and Scotland in the ICC Cricket World Cup League Two 2023-2027 series. Nepal have underperformed in the tournament so far. They are currently placed seventh on the table, with one win and six defeats in eight games. One match ended as no result. The tournament is vital as it ensures a direct qualification to the ODI World Cup qualifiers for the top four teams. Nepal would like to carry the winning momentum from the T20I series and get much-needed wins in the CWC League 2 to move up the table.
