In a lop-sided semi-final match at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, the team from the Himalayas outscored their African rivals 89-18. It was yet another dominant win for Nepal.
The Group C winners had earlier scored 100+ points in their 103-8 quarter-final win over Iran, who qualified from Group A as runners-up to hosts India.
Earlier in the World Cup, Nepal had defeated Bhutan (83-24), Germany (66-22), Sri Lanka (110-10) and Bangladesh (83-24) to take Group C honours with a perfect record.
Their male counterparts have also reached the semis, where they will take on Iran later in the night. Nepal men settled for second spot in Group A, behind India, with three wins in four. But they outclassed Bangladesh 67-18 in the quarter-final.
