Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first, scoring 236 for nine in 50 overs after losing the first two wickets by the fifth over. But Sachith Pathiram's 62 in 60 and captain Ashan Subasinghe's 46 in 83 balls steadied the innings.
Thisara Perera smashed 41 in 27 balls toward the end to ensure a total that proved too big for Nepal, which was all out for 175. Opener wicketkeeper Mahesh Chhetri made 39 in 69 balls but none of Nepal's other batsmen managed to cross 25.
