Netherlands triumph in historic T20 after three super overs against Nepal
The Netherlands and Nepal have etched their names in the cricket record books after the two sides could not be split until a third super over eventually found a winner in their T20 clash in Glasgow. It is the first time that a men's professional match – either T20 or List A – has gone to a third super over with the Dutch opener Michael Levitt finally clubbing a six to clinch his side's memorable triumph. The Netherlands looked to be cruising to victory after setting a target of 153 and with Nepal needing 16 runs from the last over and tailenders Sandeep Lamichhane and Nandan Yadav at the crease. But after Lamichhane rotated the strike, Yadav hit two boundaries including one off the last ball of the innings through cover to level the scores. The momentum stayed with Nepal in the first super over as Kushal Bhurtel blasted two sixes and a four to lift his side to 19-1 before being caught off the last ball. Levitt kicked off the Netherlands' chase with a six before leaving Max O'Dowd with plenty to do until the opener smashed a six and a boundary to again finish all square with Nepal.
