First-ever T20 triple Super Over as Netherlands beat Nepal
The Netherlands beat Nepal but needed a record-breaking three Super Overs to clinch victory in their Twenty20 tri-series match in Glasgow on Monday, the first time a triple Super Over has been seen in T20 or limited-overs cricket. The Dutch posted 152 for seven and appeared set for the win as Nepal required 16 runs from the final over, but Nandan Yadav scored a boundary on the last ball to force a Super Over. Nepal made 19 runs which the Dutch matched thanks to Max O'Dowd hitting a six on the final ball, and a second Super Over was needed for only the second time in men's international cricket, after India and Afghanistan last year. The Netherlands, batting first, hit 17 runs and Nepal again stayed in the match after Dipendra Singh Airee hit a six on the last ball to mark the first instance of a third Super Over. It failed to live up to the drama of the previous two with Nepal failing to score a single run and with the Dutch needing just one run, Michael Levitt smashed a six to finally seal the win for the Netherlands. The Dutch, who lost their opening match of the series with Scotland on Monday, have a rest day on Tuesday to recover but Nepal are straight back into action against the Scots.

Netherlands and Nepal overdeliver in triple Super Over tussle
After 40 overs failed to separate the two teams in Glasgow, both scoring 152 in their respective innings, the teams walked back out for the first Super Over, both plundering 19 runs in six balls. Having taken the match to a second Super Over through a Max O'Dowd four, the Dutch batted first in the second Super Over, hitting 13 runs off the first three balls, though were held at the end of the over through a wicket to Lalit Rajbanshi to finish with 17. It was Nepal's turn to match the lofty six-ball score set, with Rohit Paudel and Dipendra Singh Airee combining with 17 between them, capped off with an Airee six to trigger unprecedented scenes in the international game. Eventually, it was the Dutch to hold their nerve, with Zach Lion-Cachet's spin taking two wickets and ending Nepal's third crack at breaking the deadlock, with the Dutch youngster also at the other end for Michael Levitt's six to finally finish proceedings. It's the first time a men's professional T20 match has needed a third Super Over across domestic, franchise, and International cricket.

Watch: Not 1, Not 2, But 3 Super Overs - Netherlands-Nepal T20I Makes Cricket History
In a historic first in men's professional cricket, three super overs took place as Netherlands beat Nepal in a dramatic T20I clash in Glasgow on Monday. The match had finished in a tie after 20 overs, forcing a super over, which in any case is a rare occurrence in cricket. Then, even the super over was tied, leading to an even rarer occurrence of a second super over. Amazingly - for the first time - a T20I match then went on to a third super over, where the game was ultimately decided. Batting first, Netherlands had posted a total of 152/7, in a match which is part of a tri-series that also involved Scotland. Victory seemed a certainty for them but two boundaries in the final over by tailender Nandan Yadav forced the match into a super over. Here's how the super overs played out: Watch: Ball-by-ball action of the Netherlands vs Nepal T20I, featuring three super overs Netherlands vs Nepal Last Over & 3 Super Overs Ball By Ball — PCT Replays 2.0 (@ReplaysPCT) June 16, 2025 First super over: Nepal batted first in the first super over, and smashed 19 runs. Opener Kushan Bhurtel went berserk, slamming two sixes and a boundary off bowler Daniel Doram. Netherlands opener Max O'Dowd, however, repeated Bhurtel's heroics, slamming two sixes and a four himself to tie the game in the first super over, leading to a second. Second super over: This time, Netherlands batted first and they made 18 runs. Max O'Dowd smacked another six, as did Netherlands captain Scott Edwards. However, Nepal managed to level scores again. Nepal captain Rohit Paudel hit a six, while Dipendra Singh Airee slammed a six and a four to take the game to an unprecedented third super over. Third super over: The historic third super over turned out to be disastrous for Nepal, who lost both wickets without making a single run. Off-spinner Zach Lion-Cachet was the hero for Netherlands, taking both wickets. Netherlands batter Michael Levitt slammed the first ball for six, bringing an end to a memorable and dramatic encounter. Lion-Cachet was named 'Player of the Match'. Super overs always provide an extra bit of spice to a match. The most memorable instance of a super over is arguably the 2019 World Cup final between England and New Zealand, where the winner was decided by boundary count after both teams were tied even after one super over. The dramatic end to that match eventually led to the rule being changed, such that should it still be a tie after one super over, then another super over will be played. A notable instance of this happened in a T20I between India and Afghanistan, where Rohit Sharma 's heroics helped India secure victory. However, history was made on Monday as Netherlands beat Nepal in the very first men's professional match, across both T20 and List-A cricket, to go into a third super over.
