Nepal, March 30 -- Nepal-A lost the three-match T20 series 2-0 after suffering a 40-run defeat against Ireland Wolves in the second T20 at the TU Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, Kathmandu on Saturday.

Chasing a huge target of 225, Nepal were bowled out for 184 in 17.5 overs, thanks to another poor show from middle and lower order batters.

Nepal-A had lost their first T20 against the Wolves by 21 runs on Friday.

Openers Lokesh Bam, who had scored a century in the first T20 against the visiting team, and Dev Khanal gave Nepal a blistering start building a 47-run partnership for the opening wicket.

Bam played an aggressive knock of 13-ball 25 that featured three fours and two sixes before falling to Fionn Hand in the fourth over.
