KATHMANDU: Nepal defeated Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) by 41 runs to record a triumph at historic Lord's Cricket Ground of London in England on Tuesday.

Nepal's spinners dented MCC's run chase as they were skittled for paltry 176 runs in pursuit of 218 for victory.

MCC's opener Adair tried to steer his side to victory with a measured innings of 100 but fell short to take his side over the line.

Nepal's spinners bowled in tandem to tandem without giving any width to the home side and orchestrated the victory.

Sagar Pun was pick of the Nepali bowlers as he scalped up three crucial MCC's wickets with the best figure of 10-2-35-3. Basanta Regmi claimed 3-35 while medium-pacer Som Pal Kami took 2-33.

MCC's batsmen found hard to handle the variety of Nepali bowling as spinners took wickets at regular interval.

Nepal is currently on their tour to England playing friendly games to give much-needed practice to Nepali side for their upcoming fourth round matches of  World Cricket League Championship against the Netherlands slated for August 13 and 15 at Aberdeen.
