West Indies have posted a decent total on the back of two sublime centuries from their captain Shai Hope and the southpaw Nicholas Pooran. The decision to bowl first proved to be a good one for Nepal as they managed to get early wickets and created panic in the bowling powerplay but once that partnership got going, they found it tough to make inroads as the West Indies experience came to the fore and dominated the proceedings. Nepal would rue the costly dropped chance of Pooran when he was still in single figures but now they will have to put it all behind and challenge the West Indian bowlers and take the game deep. I'll take my laptop off the ice pack, slow down the fan, and then Danyal Rasool will be here to guide you through the first 10 overs of Nepal's reply

Sudesh: "Bhurtel and Aasif should come really good today. Nepal requires an opening partnership similar to one they had against Zimbabwe few days back. Bhurtel can complete his century and thereby cross his heart breaking 99 . On the other hand a big innings from Aasif would nullify his dropped catch. Both batters are talented and if Nepal have to come good , these two batters contribution is need of hour. All the best Nepal. "

Janak: "Every cloud has silver lining, at least the boys are taking wickets... too late though"

Shrochis: "I am going to spend the next 30 or so minutes imagining that Nepal hunt this target down successfully. What fun that would be!"

Nicholas Pooran: I definitely enjoyed that, scored a century after a while, that partnership was very important, we were trying to score 300 plus. I wasn't thinking too much about the situation. Hope has been doing it for the team since last five six overs

Ruwantha Ediris: "Fielding is below par. They really need a proper bowling coach and need to practice on fielding. "

Ujwal: "Look at how it started and now look how it's going. Cricket do not wait so long to shift the momentum and with this great side if you give Aarif a long spell then of course they'll smash it. It's a steep hill to climb now for Nepal, but let's pray the boys will do it."
