United Arab Emirates vs Nepal Live स्कोर, Match 6 of T20 World Cup Warm-up Matches, 2026

Done with this game - That wraps up this game. Nepal have walked away with the bragging rights against fellow Associate side UAE after a well-rounded performance. The action continues as teams move through their warm-up fixtures, fine-tuning plans and ironing out a few creases. Wednesday, 4th February 2026, offers a packed schedule with Scotland facing Namibia, Afghanistan meeting West Indies, Pakistan up against Ireland, and a blockbuster to close the day as India take on South Africa. We hope you will join us again. Until then, goodbye and cheers.

Flash, fall, fix - With the bat, UAE produced an effort that brought smiles and a mild headache in equal measure. The Powerplay was productive and promising, but the innings lost its way soon after. The scoring rate stalled, and wickets fell with stubborn regularity, one feeding the other. At 5 down for 66, Harshit Kaushik and Sohaib Khan stepped in with a timely rescue act. Their 68-run partnership gave the innings much-needed oxygen and brought the total close to 150, but it ultimately was not enough.

Flavourless bowling from UAE - This game laid bare plenty of problems for the UAE. There was a flicker of early spark, driven almost entirely by three excellent overs from Muhammad Rohid, who bowled with genuine fire and venom. Beyond that, the bowling lacked bite and purpose. The spinners found little from the surface and did themselves no favours with inconsistent lines. The end result was a defeat that will sting and demand some hard reflection.

A statement win by Nepal! What a commanding performance! Chasing a target of 146, Nepal wobbled early at 45 for 3, but that was as shaky as it got. Dipendra Singh Airee (50* off 31 balls) and Aarif Sheikh (61* off 37 balls) then took complete control with an unbeaten 103-run stand that oozed composure and intent. They blended caution with timely aggression, shut the door firmly on any UAE comeback and cruised home with plenty of overs to spare. A chase paced to perfection and finished in style.

FOUR! That seals it, and in style. Short on middle, Sheikh turns inside the crease and clouts it behind square leg for the winning boundary. The hundred-run partnership comes up as well, and Nepal cruise home with three overs to spare, a comprehensive seven-wicket win.

Full and on off, it's pushed off the front foot to covers.

Wide! Slips a full ball down the leg side, Aarif leaves. 2 needed more.

Fifty for Dipendra Singh Airee, off just 30 balls! Full on middle, he clips it calmly to deep mid-wicket and jogs through for a single. A fine knock, timed to perfection.

On middle, nudged to mid-wicket for a run.

SIX! Aarif is dealing in sixes now. Short on off and sitting up nicely, he rides the bounce and hammers it over square leg. Nepal are turning this into a procession.

SIX! BOOM! A fraction short around off, Aarif swivels on the back foot and muscles it cleanly over mid-wicket. That is a huge hit, and Nepal are within touching distance now, just 11 more needed. FIFTY FOR SHEIKH OFF 33 BALLS!

Change in bowling. Muhammad Arfan comes back into the attack.

SIX! Bang! Full and flighted around off, Dipendra Singh Airee charges down the track and launches it high and handsome over long off. That clears the ropes with ease. Nepal now need 17 from 24 balls.

Uses his feet to a full ball and strokes it to long off for a single.

Full and around off, Dipendra Singh Airee brings out the reverse-batted shot and forces it to deep cover. Only a run.

Flighted and on middle, Sheikh nurdles it towards square leg for one.

Skidding down the leg side, Airee fails to flick and it goes off his pads to short fine. They gather a leg bye.

Loopy and full, around leg, it's knocked down to wide long on for a quick couple.

Simranjeet Singh is back on.

FOUR! Cracking shot! Full and around off, Aarif leans into it and crunches a drive through the covers. It screams away to the fence. A 14-run over, and Nepal now need 29 from 30 balls.

FOUR! Up and over point! Short and wide, begging to be put away, Aarif rocks back and hammers it over the infield. No chance for the fielder. 33 needed off 31 balls.

Length ball on off, Airee taps it down to backward point and steals a quick run.

Back of a length, around off, Sheikh steers it through point for a run.

Play and a miss! Short again, outside off, Sheikh tries to cut but this time there is some extra bounce and it beats his bat.

FOUR! Nepal keep cruising towards the target. Short and wide outside off, Aarif waits on the back foot and cuts it past the diving point fielder. A good start for Nepal after the break.

Drinks break. Nepal are firmly in the driver's seat, riding on the unbeaten stand between Dipendra Singh Airee and Aarif Sheikh. With just 43 needed from 36 balls, the chase is well under control. For the UAE, the only route back into the game is a sudden rush of wickets. Can they enforce that? Let's find out.

Spinning down the leg side, it's swept wide of short fine by Aarif Sheikh and they get three runs. 7 from the over, 43 needed off 36 balls.

100 up! Quicker and on off, forced down to long off for a run. A tidy over so far.

Tossed up and on middle, slogged in front of square leg for a single.

Flighted and full, it's pushed with an angled bat to point.
