This also became the quickest half century by any nepali batsman in this format of cricket. Before this record, Binod Bhandari had made a half century in 25 balls against Malaysia earlier this month in the international series played against Malaysia, where Nepal had won the series by 2-0.

Binod Bhandari finished the match with the six in the last ball of the 8th over. There was still 1 more over remaining for Nepal. Binod faced 8 balls and scored not out 13 runs with the help of a six. Sharad was not out in 3 runs in 2 balls. All three nepal wickets were taken by malaysian bowler Muhamad Syahadat. He gave 19 runs in 2 overs. S Mniandy was too expensive, he gave 21 runs in a single over. Source After this match, this is the latest point table. It's still hard for Nepal in terms of the run rate and as the weather of Singapore is rainy any match can be lost but Nepal needs to win the remaining 2 matches with big margin to improve their run rate if the matches are not interrupted by rain. Hopefully, Nepal will top the table and get selected for World Cup t-20 selection tournament. Anything is possible at the moment, stay tuned. I will update this tournament in my blog. Thanks !
