"I am very proud of the unit, especially the way we bowled and batted, I'm very proud of that," Paudel said at the presentation. "We were very close but a little far. In crunch moments we did well, but the way we fought was very good. If we get more exposure regularly then next games we will be on the other side (of the result)."
Nepal's near-upset was driven by their spinners, Dipendra Singh Airee and Kushal Bhurtel, who claimed seven wickets for just 40 runs in their combined eight overs. Sandeep Lamichhane, playing his first game of the tournament, bowled four economical overs for just 18 runs. The spinners effectively choked South Africa, conceding only 75 runs in 14 overs.
