Chasing a modest 190 to win, Nepal, playing their first 50-over game since securing ODI status earlier this year, were bowled out for 134 with more than eight overs to spare. Nepal had got off to a flying start in their run chase. They looked comfortable at 85-1 before they slipped quickly to 104-6 and with most of their stroke makers back in the pavilion. For the Dutch, playing their first ODI in four years after losing their one-day status, seamer Fred Klaassen took 3-30, leg-spinner Rippon finished with 3-23 while orthodox slow bowler and skipper Pieter Seelaar claimed a miserly 3-16. The second and final match of the series will be staged at the same venue on Friday.
