Historic three Super Over sees Netherlands triumph over Nepal
After a dramatic turn at the Scotland T20 Tri-Series, the Netherlands managed a close win against Nepal in the third Super Over. It was one of the rare occasions in T20 history where a match required multiple Super Overs to decide the winner.
Nepal needed 16 runs in the final over of regular time, and Nandan Yadav delivered with 4, 2, 2, 4 off Kyle Klein to push the game into the first Super Over. Another series of scores was made, but Michael Levitt and Max O’Dowd’s efforts forced a second Super Over.
In the second Super Over, Lalit Rajbanshi lost two early sixes but halted the Netherlands at 17. Rohit Paudel hit a six, and Dipendra Singh Airee added a four. With seven needed off the last ball, Airee smashed Klein over cow corner to force a third Super Over.
The game ended with the Netherlands barely winning at 152 for 7 against Nepal’s 152 for 8.
