Super Eights phase of the T20 World Cup when they cruised to victory against Nepal by nine wickets in India.<\/p>\n<p>After restricting Nepal to 133-8 in their 20 overs on Sunday, captain Shai Hope\u2019s 61 not out helped his team romp to 134-1 in 15.2 overs in the Group C clash at Mumbai\u2019s Wankhede Stadium.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended

scored three sixes and five fours in all.<\/p>\n<p>He put on an unbroken 91 with Shimron Hetmyer to reach the 134 target with 28 balls to spare.<\/p>\n<p>Hetmyer was 46 not out at the end from 32 balls with two sixes and four fours.<\/p>\n<p>After Hope won the toss and chose to field, Matthew Forde bowled a magnificent spell of 1-10 from his four overs and removed Nepal captain Rohit Paudel for five.<\/p>\n<p>Nepal were in all sorts of trouble at 22-3 at the end of the six-over powerplay, then 23-4 and 46-5 in the 11th over as Jason Holder also got among the wickets.<\/p>\n<p>It was only Dipendra Singh Airee\u2019s 58 that pushed Nepal past the 100 mark as he shared in a partnership of 54 for the seventh wicket with Sompal Kami, who was there at the end on 26 not out.<\/p>\n<p>Holder took 4-27 from his four overs.<\/p>\n<p>The result eliminates Nepal, who cannot progress further in this year\u2019s T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4314798\"
