50/50 decisions help Nepal fight back as Canada Collapse

Johnson will rue the day he set off for a single when there wasn't one on a drive straight to point, but he can also consider himself a bit unlucky to have been given out on a very close call. Replays suggested Johnson was slightly out, but the on-field umpires do not have the benefit of a third umpire in this series.

The dismissal of Pargat Singh later sparked a collapse as Canada slumped from 179 for 2 in 31.1 overs to 216 for 7 in 40.4 overs. Nicholas Kirton, looking in good touch with consecutive fifties, was stumped in another close call by the quick hands of wicketkeeper Aasif Sheikh.

Harsh Thaker, always a good sport and always respectful of the umpire, was stunned when he was caught behind off Surya Tamang's left-arm orthodox. Perhaps a different story could have been told with the availability of DRS (Decision Review System). All of a sudden, at 193/5, Canada was in danger of falling well short of a par score.
