Nepal appeared to be on course to chase the 116-run total that South Africa had set, but the Proteas secured fast wickets in the closing stages to halt the run flow and win.
At one point, Aasif Sheikh and AK Sah combined for 50 runs in 36 balls to take the third wicket, and Nepal was up 85-2.
South Africa was topped by Tabraiz Shamsi, who scored 4-19 in four overs.
With eight runs needed to win, Ottneil Baartman was put in to bowl the last over. Baartman maintained composure to end the over with two dot balls after giving up a four on the third ball.

On the last delivery of the last over, two runs were required. As Gulsan Jha attempted to run the ball past the keeper, Baartman struck a short ball, but he was unable to make contact with the bat. As Sompal Kami rushed across, wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock attempted to go for the bowler’s end, but the ball struck Jha’s back and deflected into cover. The batter was caught short by a yard when Klassen took up the ball and under-armed the flip onto the stumps at the bowler’s end.
With statistics of 4-19 in three overs, Kushal Bhurtel was Nepal’s best bowler. In the meantime, Dipendra Singh Airee held South Africa in check with a 3-21 score.
