Result
Due to heavy rain delay, the match was reduced to just five over per innings. Bahrain captain Deepika Rasangika took the lead and her 13-ball 34 took Bahrain to 41/1. Bahrain opener Tharanga Gajanayake played a shocker of an innings where she could only muster 3 runs off 12 balls.
Nepal had no problem in chasing 42 and they reached the target with four balls remaining and won by nine wickets.
This gives Nepal their first win of the tournament after their opening fixture was washed out.
