Anil Mandal and Mahesh Chhetri once again provided a solid opening partnership adding 63 runs. Anil, who had scored 72 two days earlier against Hong Kong, was caught behind at 39 off Aamir Ali.
Anil played 45 balls and his seven fours in his innings.
Mahesh made 35 off 69 with four boundaries before becoming the second victim for Ali.
A run-a-ball 53-run partnership came from Basant Regmi, who was elevated in the batting order, and captain Paras Khadka.
Paras was run out at 29 off 28 balls with six fours. Basant made 29 off 32 with five fours before falling at 135. Ali completed three wickets.
Sharad Vesawkar (22 not out off 31) and Dipendra Chaudhary (14 not out off 26) completed the victory for Nepal with 11.3 overs remaining.
Earlier, opening pacers Mehboob Alam and Amrit Bhattarai, who replaced Binod Das, took a wicket each to put Oman on backfoot at 4/2.
A half-century from Vaibhav Wategaonkar and handy contributions from Adnan Ilyas (22), Sultan Ahmed (20) and Ali (24) helped their score.
Wategaonkar scored 56 off 104 balls with four boundaries. Rahul BK was pick of the bowlers taking three wickets (3/32) while Shakti Gauchan grabbed two. Sanjam Regmi got one.
Paras Khadka was named man of the match for his 29 runs and a wicket. He also held two catches.

Request for Nepal cricket live updates
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a regular cricket follower of Nepal, actually a die-hard fan. Although I live in the U.S., I try and follow Nepalese cricket whenever and whereever possible. I acknowledge the fact that the ACC have done a good job in providing some scores of cricket matches through the ACC website, and we are all thankful for that. But it would be great, if you could try and provide faster updates for most of the games. Even something as updates every 5 overs would suffice. For fans like us, who stare at the computer screens for 8 straight hours looking for a slight change in scores, I don’t think it is too much to ask. I know the ACC does have funds available for something as miniscule as this. We would really appreciate your efforts on this. We are not asking for the games to be broadcasted live on the internet, but just a simple regular updates. I know the ACC is trying to promote cricket in all Asian regions and we are grateful for those efforts, and also create a huge fan base for these countries. How can that be accomplished if fans do not even have the resources to watch their teams progress in the cricketing arena? Thus, I would like to plead the ACC to take some measures to have this issue resolved. Any kind of progress on this matter would be truly appreciated. Thanking you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
* correction :- oman instead of kuwait
Dear Ujjwal ji,
