The series marked Nepal's first international cricket tournament after a 13-month pandemic-induced pause, and the country's first win at home after more than a decade.Nepal recorded 2486 new coronavirus cases--644 among those in Kathmandu, 141 in Lalitpur, and 87 in Bhaktapur--and 14 Covid fatalities on Saturday, while 7525 PCR tests had been conducted in the last 24 hours.<img src="https://superdesk-pro-c.s3.amazonaws.com/sd-nepalitimes/20221110121152/636ce68f9c7e80680e096775jpeg.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000"><img src="https://superdesk-pro-c.s3.amazonaws.com/sd-nepalitimes/20221110121152/636ce6939c7e80680e096776jpeg.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000"><img src="https://superdesk-pro-c.s3.amazonaws.com/sd-nepalitimes/20221110121152/636ce6979c7e80680e096777jpeg.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000"><img src="https://superdesk-pro-c.s3.amazonaws.com/sd-nepalitimes/20221110121152/636ce69b9c7e80680e096778jpeg.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000"><img src="https://superdesk-pro-c.s3.amazonaws.com/sd-nepalitimes/20221110121152/636ce69e9c7e80680e096779jpeg.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000"><img src="https://superdesk-pro-c.s3.amazonaws.com/sd-nepalitimes/20221110121152/636ce6a19c7e80680e09677ajpeg.jpg" alt="" width="1463" height="975"><img src="https://superdesk-pro-c.s3.amazonaws.com/sd-nepalitimes/20221110121152/636ce6a59c7e80680e09677bjpeg.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000"><img src="https://superdesk-pro-c.s3.amazonaws.com/sd-nepalitimes/20221110121152/636ce6a89c7e80680e09677cjpeg.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000"><img src="https://superdesk-pro-c.s3.amazonaws.com/sd-nepalitimes/20221110121152/636ce6ac9c7e80680e09677djpeg.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000"><img src="https://superdesk-pro-c.s3.amazonaws.com/sd-nepalitimes/20221110121152/636ce6b09c7e80680e09677ejpeg.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000"><img src="https://superdesk-pro-c.s3.amazonaws.com/sd-nepalitimes/20221110121152/636ce6b39c7e80680e09677fjpeg.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000">Read also: <a href="https://www.nepalitimes.com/here-now/the-ball-is-in-nepals-cricket-court/">The ball is in Nepal's cricket court</a>, Prakash Guragain
