Nepal secured a dominant 3-0 series win against a lackluster USA team, wrapping up the final T20I match with an emphatic 8-wicket victory. The USA struggled to recover from their heartbreaking Super Over loss in the second game and crumbled under pressure once again. Despite being at 125 for 3 after 16 overs, USA could only post 156, thanks to a stifling spell by Sompal Kami (3 for 27). USA’s innings faltered in the death overs as Nepal once again proved too strong.
Nepal's chase was led by opener Aasif Sheikh, who hit his first half-century of the tour, and valuable contributions from Kushal Bhurtel and Kushal Malla, both of whom scored brisk 40s. Nepal comfortably reached the USA total with 15 balls to spare, making it a series sweep. The USA bowlers struggled, with Aasif Sheikh and Bhurtel dominating the attack early on, and Malla finishing the game with style.
The USA’s decision to bat first backfired when skipper Monank Patel was trapped leg before wicket in the second over by Kami, setting the tone for a tough day. Despite some resistance from Sai Teja Mukkamalla, who scored a solid 68 off 47, USA could not capitalize and fell short of a competitive total. Their batting failed to fire, and their bowling couldn't contain Nepal’s power hitters.
As the USA now prepares for the upcoming 50-over tri-series with Nepal and Scotland, fans and analysts are already turning to Reddy Anna match predictions to assess their chances of bouncing back. With four days to regroup, the USA will need to address their weaknesses if they hope to challenge in the longer format.
