Chasing a target of 129, Nepal reached the total in 15.5 overs, losing just two wickets. The opening pair of Kushal Bhurtel and Kushal Malla got off to a solid start. Arjun Saud, the opener from the previous game, was dropped, and Malla replaced him for the opening slot, marking his fourth appearance as an opener in T20Is. The duo put on 51 runs in the first powerplay.

Malla was dismissed for 19, caught by captain Mohammad Wasim off Mohammad Arfan’s bowling, after hitting 1 four and 2 sixes from 17 balls. Their 67-run partnership made the chase more comfortable for Nepal.

Debutant Santosh Yadav came in at number three but was run out for just 1 run off 4 balls, leaving Nepal at 34/2 in the 6th over. Bhurtel, however, continued to anchor the innings, making 57 runs off 31 balls, including 9 fours and 1 six, and bringing up his 14th T20I half-century.

Bhurtel then found support from captain Dipendra, with the pair putting on an unbeaten 58-run partnership for the third wicket. Bhurtel finished with a splendid 84 not out from 57 balls, including 12 fours and 2 sixes, while Dipendra remained not out on 23.

In the bowling department, UAE posted a modest total of 128/8 in their 20 overs, losing 8 wickets in the process. Nepal’s bowlers put on an impressive display. In the first powerplay, UAE had reached 47 runs but had already lost 3 wickets. Hemant Dhami made an early breakthrough, dismissing UAE captain Mohammad Wasim for a royal duck on the first ball of the match.

The wickets continued to fall at regular intervals, with Nandan Yadav claiming a brilliant diving catch to dismiss Aksadip Nath. By the 7th over, UAE had already lost 6 wickets for 48 runs. Despite this, a solid 64-run partnership between Aksadip Nath and Mohammad Arfan brought UAE back into the game. However, Sandeep Lamichhane broke the stand, dismissing Arfan for 32, caught by Dipendra.

Lamichhane then struck again, removing Khujama Tanveer for a duck, caught by Dipendra. Aksadip Nath, who played a crucial knock, scored a half-century, finishing with 53 not out off 42 balls, including 3 fours and 4 sixes.

Sandeep Lamichhane was the standout bowler for Nepal, taking 3 wickets for just 6 runs in 4 overs, including a maiden. Hemant Dhami also bowled well, picking up 2 wickets for 20 runs in his 4 overs.

This victory was crucial for Nepal, especially after their defeat in the first game, as it ensured they would avoid a series loss. The series ended in a 1-1 draw, with both teams sharing the honors.
