Nepal, on the other hand, topped Group A with wins over Mongolia and Maldives. Interestingly against Mongolia, Nepal smashed all-time highest T20I team total of 314 in 20 overs and then bundled out the opponents for 41 runs. Kushal Malla slammed the fastest T20I century by a batsman off just 34 balls while Dipendra Singh Airee smashed a half-century off just nine balls to break Yuvraj Singh’s record. Things will be very much difficult for Nepal when they face India despite the Men in Blue fielding a second-fiddle side. However, given the dimensions of the ground and T20 format anything can be possible.
