This match was very interesting and good, which also attracted a lot of attention because both the teams worked hard in the match with equal performance, due to which this match went to the super over. If we talk about the T20 overs, then both the teams did not play so much in this match. If the Netherlands had given a weak target, then the Nepalese batsmen should have played well and won the match, but they could not score 153 runs in any way and lost the match. At the same time, this match was won by the Netherlands batsmen on 6 runs in the super over, but the Nepalese batsmen lost the match by 6 runs losing 2 wickets. This was the last chance for Nepal in which they could have won.
Looks like Nepal may make up for their loss against Netherlands with a win today. As of now, Scotland ended up at 97 all out after 19.4 overs. Probably the Nepal players learnt their lesson from the loss and they are playing with a lot more discipline and aggressiveness today. This is a one-off series, unlike the ODI matches which were part of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. A win today is good to boost their morale, but it will have no impact on the funding from ICC.
Another close and intense game from Nepal this time. Though a low scoring one, it was competitive till the last over.
Netherlands batting first made a small score of 97, almost half of that coming from the bat of Michael Leask alone. Netherlands kept losing 1 wicket each over till the 5th. And Sandeep Lamichhane's 4 wickets in 2 overs made them vulnerable.
Nepal chasing a small target of 98 was supposed to win it comfortably but they too suffered the same fate losing wickets on quick intervals. But with their deep batting lineup, they were able to win the game be in the 2nd last ball with 2 wickets remaining.
The T20 tri-series is now a 1 win each, Scotland winning over Netherlands, Netherlands winning over Nepal and Nepal winning over Scotland. This also shows how close the three teams are in capacity and performance.
