Home side Zimbabwe outclassed inspired Nepal before West Indies edged USA in the opening day of the Cricket World Cup (CWC) Qualifier.
In the first match of the CWC Qualifier, hosts Zimbabwe handed a thrashing eight-wicket defeat to Nepal, who raised 290/8 after being put into bat first.
Nepal openers Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh scripted a flying start for the Asian side with an opening 171-run partnership.
Aasif Sheikh scored 66 off 100 deliveries before Wellington Masakadza got the much-needed breakthrough for his side in the 32nd over.
In his next over, Masakadza then got the prized wicket of Kushal Bhurtel, who had a heartbreaking end to his brilliant knock as he fell just one short of his century.
