For Hong Kong, it was a simple formula in last match of the first round of the World Cup Qualifiers 2018: beat Nepal to go to Super Sixes and retain ODI status.
The pair ran superbly between the wickets and put pressure on the Hong Kong fielders. Zimbabwe, Scotland and Afghanistan made it to the Super Six after finishing inside the top three from Group B.
Openers Gyanendra Mall and wicket keeper Anil Kumar Sah combined for 41 runs for the opening partnership before Sah for for 26 runs in 9.5 overs. Nepal started well, but lost their way in the middle overs before recovering to win by 5 wickets.
The defeat also means Hong Kong must now go into a play-off round in an effort to preserve their one-day status and place in the top division of the World Cricket League.
Nepal are playing for pride as it had failed to qualify for super six after losing all its previous three encounters.
Aizaz Khan and Ehsan Khan grabbed two wickets apiece as Nepal stumbled to 66 for five in the 20th over but RK Paudel (48) and Sompal Kami (37) stayed together to take their side to victory.
Earlier, Ehsan Khan had helped Hong Kong lend their innings an air of respectability by adding 32 for the ninth wicket with Ehsan Nawaz.

Nirmala Sitharaman will visit China in April
Of late, China's state-run media has also been making the right sounds to possibly facilitate the effort to improve ties. Wang was here to here to attend the foreign ministers meeting of RIC grouping comprising Russia, India and China.
The victor of this tie will play against the victor between Hong Kong and Netherlands for seventh place and last spot left to be grasped for ODI status.
Zimbabwe were unable to find the late impetus with a flurry of wickets hurting their chances, and they eventually finished with a much smaller total than they might have hoped for.
Earlier in the match, Nepal kept taking wickets at regular intervals, not allowing any batsmen to settle.
Nepal's 17-year-old leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane was the chief destroyer with an outstanding ten-over allocation in which he took three for 17.
Hong Kong 153 (Nizakat Khan 47; Sandeep Lamichhane 3 for 17, Basant Regmi 3 for 20) lost to Nepal 155 for 5 in 30.4 overs (Rohit Kumar 48*, Sompal Kami 37*; Aizaz Khan 2 for 40) by 5 wickets with 116 balls to spare. For Afghanistan, who had just one victory against Nepal from four matches, it was even simpler: Nepal beat Hong and they are through.
The Nepal win has secured a place for Afghanistan in the Super Sixes.
