Ruturaj, who was stabilizing the game, regrettably left the field in the 10th after collecting 25 runs thanks to Dipendra Singh Airee of Nepal.
When Avesh Khan knocked Aasif Sheikh in the fourth over with the score at 10, he made a key breakthrough that caused Nepal to fall behind in their chase of the challenging mark.

Different Team same spirit
The third and final One Day International (ODI) game between Team India and Australia is planned for Wednesday. If Team India wins, it will be the first ever ODI whitewash. India has not previously accomplished this in an ODI format. Regardless of the quantity of games played in a series, neither Australia nor India have ever accomplished it at both home and away stadiums.
Teams for Asian games and ODI series are different. However, both are flourishing. Cricketers like Shubhman Gill, Rinku Sigh, and Yashaswi Jaiswal have a promising future for Team India.
