West Indies suffered a humbling defeat on Monday when they were dismissed for 83 runs by Nepal who secured an unprecedented T20 series triumph in the United Arab Emirates.

The 83 all out stands as the lowest total ever recorded by a full member against an associate side. Nepal's 90-run victory also marks the largest winning margin an associate has achieved over a full member.

Nepal, facing a full member nation in a T20 series for the first time, stunned the two-time world champions by clinching the three-match contest with a game to spare as they also won by 19 runs in the opener.

The series will conclude on Tuesday.
