Nepal need 10 from 6

February 08, 2026
Nepal 175-6 (19 Ovs) vs England 184-7 | SCORECARD

Wood comes back into the attack. Lokesh Bam wastes no time, smashing a boundary off the first ball. But Wood is under pressure -- two wides follow, and then a swing and a miss. Wood adjusts his line, but Lokesh pounces again with another boundary. 

Nepal now need just 14 runs to win. Even Buttler and Brook are talking to Wood, trying to steady him, but the pressure is mounting. Another wide gives Nepal extra breathing space. Lokesh skies one next ball -- and it's dropped by Will Jacks! They sneak two runs. A quick single follows, with Jacks scrambling to stop the strike -- every run counts. Then the drama peaks. 

WICKET! Bowled! Gulsan Jha departs for 2 off just 2 balls, leaving Nepal needing 10 runs from 6 deliveries.
