Cricket fans witnessed one of the most thrilling contests in the T20Is' history between the Netherlands and Nepal at Glasgow's cricket ground, requiring three Super Overs to determine a winner.

 

Part of the ongoing tri-nation T20I series featuring Scotland, Nepal, and the Netherlands, the match on Sunday turned into a roller-coaster ride with drama, nerves, and history being made.

 

Batting first, the Netherlands posted 152 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in their allotted 20 overs. In response, Nepal managed to match the total with 152 runs, losing eight wickets in the process. With the scores level, the match headed into a Super Over.

 

First Super Over

Nepal batted first and scored 19 runs for the loss of one wicket. The Netherlands matched that exactly, scoring 19 runs without losing a wicket. The match was tied again.

 

Second Super Over

This time, the Netherlands went first and posted 17 runs for the loss of one wicket. Nepal came out with intent but could only manage 17 runs as well, another tie.

 

Third Super Over

In a dramatic turn of events, Nepal batted first in the third Super Over and collapsed, losing both wickets without scoring a single run. The Netherlands needed just one run to seal the win, and Michael Levitt finished it in style with a six.

 

This is the first time in T20 international (T20I) history that a match required three Super Overs to produce a winner.
