Unbeaten half-centuries from Dipendra Singh Airee and Aarif Sheikh saw Nepal cruise to a win against UAE in their first warm-up game in Chennai ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026. An unbroken 103-run stand between the two batters saw Nepal chase down a modest target of 146 with seven wickets and three overs to spare.
