Scotland and Nepal recently faced off in an important fixture in the ICC Cricket World Cup League Two series on October 29, 2024, at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas. This match saw Nepal clinch a five-wicket victory over Scotland, continuing their competitive momentum in the league. Scotland batted first and was bowled out for 154 runs in 41.4 overs. Sandeep Lamichhane, Nepal's star leg-spinner, delivered a crucial bowling performance, taking three wickets for 45 runs in his ten overs.

 

Nepal’s chase started cautiously, with key players like Aasif Sheikh and Kushal Bhurtel stabilizing the innings after some early wickets. Aarif Sheikh emerged as the match’s top performer, scoring an unbeaten 51 runs off 42 balls, sealing Nepal's victory in just under 30 overs. His consistent boundary-hitting allowed Nepal to maintain a solid run rate throughout their innings​
