The solid opening partnership by Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh laid a strong foundation, followed by crucial middle-order contributions from Ishan Pandey and Dipendra Singh Airee. Pandey's impressive 84 and Airee's rapid-fire 59 not only propelled Nepal to this record total but also demonstrated the depth and talent within the squad.
