Toss Zimbabwe Under-19s, who chose to field first

In this re-match of group stage, it turn out to be another one of the most entertaining matches of the tournament. This match was reduced to 34 over because of unfavorable weather.
Chasing 144 run made by Nepal, Namibia were comfortably placed at 67 for 2 before a middle-order collapse swung the tide towards Nepal. Raymond van Schoor and captain Louis van der Westhuizen added 50 before Sagar Khadka got the breakthrough, and soon after Raj Shrestha removed Ewaid Steenkamp.
Paras Khadka, the Nepal captain, effected a run-out to dismiss Tiaan Louw, reducing Namibia to 81 for 5. van Schoor though was holding up one end, and his 35-run stand with Keady Strauss before Shrestha struck again. But the crucial dent to Namibia's came into in the penultimate over of the match by Rahul Vishwakarma, his two wickets all but sealed the match, and left them needing 16 off seven balls. Van Schoor perished in the final over bowled by Paras, and No. 10 Gert Jan Coetzee's 9 from four deliveries wasn't enough as Namibia fell short of their target by five runs. And Nepal secured this place in final by winning 4 runs.
Besides his two wickets and a run-out, Paras also top scored for Nepal with 44 for which he got his well deserving 'man of the match' second time in a row.
