Nepal claimed the ACC Men&#8217;s Premier Cup 2026 title with a 44-run victory over the United Arab Emirates in the final at the Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur. Winning the toss and opting to bat first, Nepal posted a formidable total of 313\/9 in their 50 overs, anchored by opener Aasif Sheikh&#8217;s brilliant 102 off 106 deliveries. He shared a crucial 93-run opening stand with Arjun Kumal, who contributed 43 runs, while valuable middle-order contributions from Rohit Paudel (40) kept the scoreboard ticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1831\" height=\"1134\" src=\"https:\/\/thechroniclesofnepal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nepal-champion-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thechroniclesofnepal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nepal-champion-edited.jpg 1831w, https:\/\/thechroniclesofnepal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nepal-champion-edited-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thechroniclesofnepal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nepal-champion-edited-1024x634.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thechroniclesofnepal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nepal-champion-edited-768x476.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thechroniclesofnepal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nepal-champion-edited-1536x951.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1831px) 100vw, 1831px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A late explosive surge propelled Nepal well past the 300-run mark, driven by Gulshan Jha&#8217;s rapid 52 off just 38 balls. For the United Arab Emirates, Ibrar Shah Ahmad led the bowling attack by picking up 4\/62 in his eight overs, while Khuzaima Bin Tanvir chipped in with two wickets to try and stall Nepal&#8217;s momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chasing a target of 314, the United Arab Emirates fought valiantly through a resilient unbeaten century from wicketkeeper-batter Rahul Chopra, who scored 100* off 105 balls, alongside Sohaib Khan&#8217;s gritty 52 and Tanish Suri&#8217;s quickfire 42. However, disciplined bowling spells led by Karan KC, who claimed 3\/49, and Lalit Rajbanshi&#8217;s 2\/43 dismantled the chase, bundling UAE out for 269 in 49.1 overs to secure the championship trophy for Nepal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
