ENG vs NEP: England narrowly escapes defeat to Nepal in thrilling encounter
Thanks to blistering half-centuries from Jacob Bethell (55) and Harry Brook (53), the England cricket team began the World Cup with a win. England defeated Nepal by 4 runs in the fifth match of the tournament played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Batting first, England scored 184 runs, while Nepal managed only 180.
Nepal performed brilliantly in the match and fought till the end. The Associate Nation has given tough competition to the big teams in the tournament. Nepal needed 10 runs to win in the last over. However, Sam Curran dashed Nepal's hopes by conceding 5 runs.
