South Africa Vs Nepal Live Cricket Score - Live Cricket Score, Match 31 - Full Scorecard

Dipendra Singh Airee to Reeza Hendricks, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Nepal are on a roll and Reeza Hendricks' sluggish innings finally comes to an end. Dipendra Singh Airee bowls this one quite quick and into the pitch over the middle stump. Hendricks goes on the back foot and goes hard at the pull shot but miscues it badly just over the bowler's head. Airee settles under it and takes a simple catch. South Africa four down now.

Dipendra Singh Airee to Quinton de Kock, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Dipendra Singh Airee draws first blood. Arm ball, on the off-stump line. The ball holds in the surface after pitching as de Kock comes forward and chips it back to the bowler. Dipendra Singh Airee accepts it gleefully and Nepa get the first wicket. Another failure for Quinton de Kock as he departs for just 10. 

Kushal Bhurtel to Aiden Markram, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Kushal Bhurtel makes amends for the dropped catch and sends the Proteas skipper packing. Holds this one back and floats it up on a nagging length outside off. Aiden Markram waits for it but is still a bit early in the cover drive. The ball takes the inside edge and goes on the bounce to crash into the stumps. A timely wicket here for Nepal.

Kushal Bhurtel to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! CAUGHT! Karan KC pulls off a stunning juggling act and Kushal Bhurtel has got the big fish here. Nicely tossed up, a bit full and pushed wide of the off stump, Heinrich Klaasen stands tall and just tries to hit through the line. The ball is slapped away aerially and towards deep cover where Karan spills it on the first attempt and gets a few more bites at it before eventually taking it with the right hand.

Dipendra Singh Airee to David Miller, OUT! CAUGHT! Beautifully bowled by Dipendra Singh Airee and David Miller has to depart here. Nicely tossed up from around the stumps, a bit fuller and around off stump. Miller looks to hold his ground and heave across the line but the ball just turns a bit and gets sliced up off the outside edge. Sandeep Lamichhane at short third man takes a simple reverse-cup catch and Nepal get another big wicket.

Kushal Bhurtel to Marco Jansen, OUT! TALEN! Kushal Bhurtel with his third wicket and what a bowling performance this has been from Nepal. Bhurtel goes into the pitch and slows it up, getting the ball to turn away from off stump. Marco Jansen goes on the back foot and looks to slog it over long on but the connection isn't there. Anil Sah there dives across to his right and manages to hold onto the catch.

Kushal Bhurtel to Kagiso Rabada, OUT! STUMPED! Kushal Bhurtel ends with a four-fer and Nepal will be ecstatic with that bowling display. Burtel tosses the ball up on a dragged length on leg stump. Kagiso Rabada steps out to go big over long on but gets beaten all ends up and Aasif Sheikh has an easy stumping job to do behind the stumps. South Africa finish with a meager total of 115 for 7 on the board.

Tabraiz Shamsi to Kushal Bhurtel, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Tabraiz Shamsi strikes off his second delivery. Tosses it full, at the off-stump line. Kushal Bhurtel goes for the reverse sweep but misses completely and the ball cannons into the stumps. Shamsi is delighted as South Africa draw first blood. 

Tabraiz Shamsi to Aasif Sheikh, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Tabraiz Shamsi gets his fourth wicket and probably the most important one of his spell. This was tossed up on the middle and spun back into the stumps. Aasif Sheikh plays all around it and the ball clatters into the stumps. The set batter Aasif Sheikh is back in the hut as Nepal have lost half their side.

Tabraiz Shamsi to Rohit Paudel, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Tabraiz Shamsi gets two in the over and he is pumped. South Africa are right back in the game. Shamsi bowls it slower through the air, just outside off, and spins it back sharply into the off-stump line. Rohit Paudel goes for the expansive drive and gets foxed by the spin. Nepal lose their second!

Aiden Markram to Anil Sah, OUT! TAKEN! Is that the wicket that changes the game? Only time will tell. Aiden Markram floats the ball up a bit fuller and pushes it a bit wider of the off stump as well. Anil Sah reaches out and looks to thump it over long on but gets it quite height without any real timing. Marco Jansen comes in from the deep and slides forward to reverse-cup is nicely.

Tabraiz Shamsi to Dipendra Singh Airee, OUT! CAUGHT! Bowls it flat and spins it down the leg. Dipendra Singh Airee gets across the line to sweep this away but gets a faint edge on the glove. Quinton de Kock takes a sharp catch and is given by the on-field umpire. Dipendra Singh Airee goes for the review. The replays show a clear spike on the glove and Airee is a goner. Nepal lose their fourth!

Anrich Nortje to Kushal Malla, OUT! TIMBER! Another one bites the dust and Nepal are faltering in the run-chase. This was on a hard-length, on the middle and off-stump line. Kushal Malla goes for a wild pull across the line and misses it completely. The ball clatters into the stumps and the sixth Nepal wicket is back in the pavilion. 

Ottneil Baartman to Gulshan Jha, OUT! RUN-OUT! SOUTH AFRICA HOLD THEIR NERVE! AGONY FOR NEPAL! They have fallen short by just one run. Ottneil Baartman bowls it short again, around off. Jha plays and misses again. The batters look to scamper for a bye as de Kock throws it at the bowler's end but the ball hits the back of Jhas. Heinrich Klaasen collects it quickly and knocks down the stumps. Gulshan Jha is short of his crease and Nepal fails to get over the line. Soo close and yet so far for Nepal.
