12:30pm Right. That will be a wrap from us for this game. The cricketing action at the Asian Games continues, though, with Pakistan taking on Hong Kong in about an hour and a half from now. Until next time, this is me (Shashwat) saying goodbye on behalf of Chandan, Ranjith and everyone else at ESPNcricinfo. Take care!

The pre-Asian Games expectations didn't have Ancy Sojan as a medal contender, but the young Indian won a silver medal last night with a show of exuberance and confidence that belied her youth and inexperience at the highest level.

12:23pm A 23-run win for India in the end, although there were numerous stages during the run-chase when they would have felt the pinch. Each of Airee, Bhurtel, Malla and Jora got starts. But none of them was able to convert it into a big score, like Jaiswal did. They could not get the finishing kick that Rinku provided for India either, although that can be put down to the number of wickets they lost in the middle overs.

Speaking of India, well, they will not be pleased with how they bowled. Arshdeep lacked his usual accuracy and sprayed the ball around. Dube was expensive, and yet bowled three overs, while Sundar, perhaps a front-line off-spinner, only bowling a solitary over. Bishnoi was superb, though, bagging three wickets and was ably supported by debutant Sai Kishore, who scalped a wicket and only gave away 24 runs in four overs.

While there were bright spots for India, on the bowling front that is, there are still some evident flaws that they need to iron out if they hope to go all the way. As for Nepal, they would be proud of the fight they showed, and this game might have provided them with a template of how to play against the big teams.

Dube to Karan KC, SIX, six to finish off but India win by 23 runs! Slower delivery that sits up to be hit outside off. Karan picks the length up nicely and dumps it over the long on fence. India move on to the semi-final but take nothing away from this brave and courageous Nepal display!
