Nepal will face the Netherlands today in their third match of the ongoing T20I Tri-Nation Series in Scotland. The match will be played at the Titwood Cricket Ground in Glasgow and starts at 7:45 PM Nepali time.
In their last encounter, the Nepal vs Netherlands T20I ended in a dramatic third Super Over, where Nepal narrowly lost. That game also marked Nepal’s 100th T20I appearance, adding emotional weight to the contest.
Nepal managed to bounce back in their next game, defeating hosts Scotland by 2 wickets. It was a low-scoring thriller that went down to the fifth ball of the final over, showing Nepal’s fighting spirit.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, have had a strong campaign. Though they lost their opening match to Scotland by 39 runs, they bounced back by defeating Nepal in the Super Over and then beating Scotland again by 17 runs on Wednesday. With two wins from three matches, they are currently in a strong position.
In T20I history, Nepal and the Netherlands have met 14 times. The Dutch lead the head-to-head with 8 wins, while Nepal has won 5 matches and one match ended with no result.
This T20I series follows the recently completed ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 ODI series among the same three teams. The continuation of this rivalry has made the T20Is even more intense and exciting for fans.
