Everest have done really well in the end and they have just fallen short by a margin of 9 runs. They will be ruing their missed chances in the field with the ball in hand. They picked up 30 runs from the final over but even that wasn't enough.
The openers went berserk for Everest early on and Arjun Shahi brought up his 50 in just 19 balls. However once he had been dismissed the run rate just dipped in the next few overs and the game slipped away from their hands. Ashish Bam remained unbeaten in the end as he scored an incredible 85 runs from just 30 balls.

Rocky holds his nerve and he has ensured a win for his side here. He got the wicket of Jeevan Lamsal on the final ball of that over and Everest will need another 38 runs to win from the final over.

Just two overs left in the contest now and Everest are trying to crawl back into the game! They need 53 runs from the final two overs and both these overs need to go supersonic if they're to comeback.
