The Netherlands beat Nepal after an unimaginable three tremendous overs throughout a T20 International tri-series match in Glasgow, the first time in the history of T20 or List A cricket.
Michael Levitt struck a six in the third Super Over to finally give the Netherlands victory in Glasgow on Monday (June 16, 2025) evening.
Having posted 152 for 7 in their allotted 20 overs, the Dutch seemed set for victory with Nepal needing 16 from the ultimate over in the run chase.
However, Nepal may solely stage the scores (152/8) with tailender Nandan Yadav hitting two boundaries, together with one from the final ball.
Kushal Bhurtel smashed 18 to take Nepal to 19 in the first Super Over however opener Max O’Dowd struck the fifth and sixth balls of the Dutch reply for a six and a 4 respectively to stage the scores.
The Netherlands batted first in the second Super Over and posted 17. But once more, it was not sufficient and the drama continued as Dipendra Singh Airee hit Kyle Klein’s final ball over the ropes to take the match to an unprecedented third one-over shootout.
Dutch off-spinning all-rounder Zach Lion-Cachet then completed Nepal’s over early with two wickets in 4 balls, with out conceding a run.
Just a single was required for the Dutch to win the match in the third Super Over however Levitt completed a outstanding contest in type as he thumped the first ball of Sandeep Lamichhane’s over for six.
Hosts Scotland is the third crew in T20 tri-series.
