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.

Left-arm spinner Daniel Doram, having returned figures of 4-0-14-3 in regular time, was tasked with bowling the first Super Over. Kushal Bhartel, however, tore into him, hammering two sixes and a four to help Nepal post 19. Interestingly, Karan KC was meted out the same treatment by Michael Levitt and Max O'Dowd as the game trickled into a second Super Over.
Lalit Rajbanshi, yet another left-arm spinner, got things started in the second Super Over. He did claim one wicket, that of the Dutch skipper Scott Edwards, albeit it came only off the final ball. Edwards' counterpart Rohit Paudel and Dipendra Singh Airee had 18 to get. The equation eventually came down to a six required off the final ball to get even. Klein giving into the pressure and Airee swinging for the skies meant the job was far from over.

The introduction of right-arm off-spin into the mix proved to be the game changer in the third Super Over, as the Netherlands' Zach Lion-Cachet got Paudel and Rupesh Singh out for ducks. Levitt, in response, hit a six to finish things off in style.

Former Ajax Winger Quincy Promes Extradited To Netherlands For 7.5-Year Prison Sentence
Last Updated: Arrested in Dubai, Promes denies all charges and is appealing against the initial ruling, which incriminates him on charges of drug trafficking and assault. Former Netherlands and Ajax winger Quincy Promes has been extradited to Holland to serve a seven-and-a-half-year prison sentence for drug trafficking and aggravated assault. A Dutch court sentenced Promes last year to six years in absentia for his involvement in two shipments of cocaine from Brazil through the port of Antwerp, Belgium, to the Netherlands in 2020. In 2023, Promes received an additional 18-month sentence in absentia for assault, related to a 2020 incident in which he stabbed a cousin in the knee. The 33-year-old was arrested in Dubai last week following a request from Dutch police. Promes denies all charges and has appealed both cases. Depending on the outcome, he will be eligible for parole as early as 2030. Promes, who has 50 caps for the Netherlands, was also arrested in Dubai in March last year at the request of the Dutch public prosecution service while attending a training camp with Spartak Moscow. Promes made his senior debut for Twente in 2009 and spent three years at the club before moving to Russian side Spartak Moscow. After four years in Moscow, he joined Sevilla in La Liga but returned to the Netherlands after one year to play for Ajax. He re-joined Spartak Moscow in 2021, staying for three more years before moving to Dubai United in 2024. (with agency inputs) First Published: June 21, 2025, 15:14 IST
