Anil Mandal, Pradeep Airee, Naresh Budhair, Binod Bhandari, Sagar Pun, Shakti Gauchan and Bhuwan Karki were all dismissed for single-figure scores and made only 10 runs among them. Prithu Baskota and Rajesh Pulami managed to score 16 runs each but they also failed to play long innings. "None of our batsmen could stay at the crease to put up a fight against a team that included two Test players -- Ajay Ratra and Sharandeep Singh -- and Ranji Trophy players like Pravin Gupta, Tanmay Shrivastav and others," said Das.
