T20 World Cup, Group C, Mumbai
And with that, it’s the end of our live coverage from today’s T20 World Cup action.
To find out of how this game transpired, head over to George O'Neill's match report.
Thanks for tuning in, and we’ll be back tomorrow with live coverage of all three games from the tournament.
Until then, take care - and we’ll see you next time.
We will have three more matches to come tomorrow at the T20 World Cup.
South Africa face the United Arab Emirates in the first game of the day from 05:30 GMT.
Pakistan, eyeing a spot in the Super 8s, will face Namibia at 09:30 while co-hosts and defending champions India take on the Netherlands from 13:30.
Nepal captain Rohit Paudel: "This win means a lot to me. This is my second World Cup as captain and winning my first game in the last game of this tournament. It was vey important for us as a team too.
"For the fans, this win was very important too. They saw the game against England and they started booking more tickets and coming over here more. We didn't execute our plan in the next games but they still stayed here and supported us. We are playing away and they have come and supported us. Imagine when we play at home!
"The game against England helped us a lot. We knew how to keep our nerves when pressure situations came. The way Dipendra Singh Airee and Gulshan Jha executed in the last overs was incredible.
"To summarise this tournament, we wanted to play the way we played against England and Scotland. But the games against Italy and West Indies were not how we wanted to play. Pretty much happy with the tournament but we wanted to qualify for the Super 8s. Still great learnings for us and we will try to improve."
Scotland captain Richie Berrington: "Atmosphere was incredible. We knew this was going to be a tough game, especially defending against them. They had a huge crowd behind them.
"Disappointing to be at the wrong end of this result. But a lot of credit must go to Dipendra Singh Airee. He changed the tempo of the game in the end and fair play to him for getting player of the match award today.
"170 was a competitive score but they bowled extremely well towards the backend of our innings. If we could bring that bowling performance against England, we could have made things difficult.
"Pleased with some of our performances in the T20 World Cup. We have shown we can compete at this level. But there's still frustration there. We could have won a few more games. Maybe it's the lack of game time coming into the tournament.
"It's been great that this has been a 20-team World Cup. We have seen the benefits of that. All these teams are only going to get stronger. We have to keep doing everything we can and take every opportunity we have in front of us."

But it hasn’t been an easy tournament for them as they haven't had much to celebrate before today with their team suffering three straight defeats to start the campaign.
But even with this being a dead rubber, they still came out in force tonight and their team rewarded them in style.

They were called up by the ICC by virtue of being the highest-ranked team not already at the tournament after Bangladesh decided to boycott the event.
And while their stay in India ends here, they will head home with their heads held high.
We will hear from both the Scotland and Nepal captains soon, so stay with us.

It's much deserved - they pushed England all the way, and their fans have been amazing. They have packed out a very big ground in Mumbai today, and it's a special day for their players. Scotland got themselves in a position to win today and will be disappointed but there's lots of things for them to be positive about.
Nep 171-3
Nepal get a famous victory over Scotland and they were comfortable winners in the end - itt's their first win at a T20 World Cup.
But Scotland will rue the missed chances and an unbeaten half-century from Dipendra Singh Airee, who they had no answer to and helped Nepal cruise to victory.

The third umpire might want to check this because if his foot made contact with the boundary cushion, it will be victory for Nepal.
2 needed off 4 balls
Gulshan Jha's shot is cut off at the boundary by a brilliant effort from George Munsey but he might touched the rope here and it could mean a Nepal victory.
We will need replays to confirm though.
Nep 167-3 | 4 needed off 5 balls
A deserved half-century for Dipendra Singh Airee.
He's brought it up in 23 balls to take his side on the verge of a historic victory.
5 needed off 6 balls
It means that Nepal can now cruise home by working singles.
And they do just that for the remainder of Brad Currie's over with four more runs.
Nepal now need five to win in the final over with Dipendra Singh Airee unbeaten on 49.
Was this the moment Nepal shifted the momentum?
9 needed off 11 balls
Gulshan Jha sends Nepal another step closer to victory with a huge six over extra cover.
Nepal fans are in full celebration mode now - they can sense this win.
15 needed off 12 balls

Airee is Nepal's best player and their talisman - he's really standing up for them when they need it.
19 needed off 13 balls
Brad Wheal's hard work is all undone in the penultimate ball of the over.
It's a short ball from the Scotland seamer and Dipendra Singh Airee punishes him with a six over point.
Nepal are inching closer to victory with some ease.
27 needed off 15 balls
Brad Wheal's third ball then almost brings a wicket as he produces a top-edge off Gulshan Jha.
But it falls just short of the Scotland fielder at deep third.
28 needed off 16 balls
Brad Wheal to bowl the 18th over for Scotland.
And he begins with two dot balls.
