Lalit Rajbanshi claimed three wickets for 20 runs while Karan KC took two for 14. Fiaz Ahmed top-scored for Bahrain with 15 runs while Muhammad Wasim contributed 13 and Ali Dawood scored 10. No other Bahrain batter reached double figures. Nepal’s bowlers kept consistent pressure on Bahrain throughout the innings dismissing the side with 13.4 overs still remaining. The result gives Nepal a strong start to its Premier Cup campaign. The team will next face hosts Malaysia before taking on Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong in the group stage. Nepal are aiming to produce a strong performance in the tournament and compete for the title.
