Netherlands vs Nepal T20 game gets a winner after three Super Overs, a first in a men's professional match
It took not one, not two, but three Super Overs to determine the winner of a Scotland T20 Tri-Series match between the Netherlands and Nepal in Glasgow on Monday. This was the first time a men's professional cricket match—T20 or List A—was going into a third Super Over, at the conclusion of which the Dutch came out on top. With Nepal requiring 16 in the final over to win, Sandeep Lamichhane passed on the strike to Nandan Yadav after the first two balls to have the latter finish things off. Despite hitting two fours off the final four deliveries of Kyle Klein, Nandan could only manage to tie the score. READ: TNPL says 'no evidence' after Siechem Madurai Panthers accuses R.
