Shreyas Bahadur Shah led the charge with 14 points and 7 rebounds, while Saurav Shrestha added 13 points. Ajay Kushwaha added 12 points and Nischal Maharjan added 10 points, but their efforts weren't enough.

Nepal’s inability to keep pace early ultimately decided the contest. They now need sharper perimeter shooting, stronger defense and better starts to compete more effectively in the remaining Pre-Qualifiers.
