Netherlands Win By Six Wickets | Netherlands vs Nepal Highlights of ICC T20 World Cup 2024: Bowlers, Max O'Dowd Write Winning Script For the Flying Dutchmen

That's it! Max O'Dowd started slow but the Dutch will feel relieved that he was there till the end. At one point of time after the wicket of Scott Edwards, it looked like the match will get close. But once O'Dowd's catch was dropped, he didn't give another chance and finished the match clinically. Solid start for the Netherlands. 

Out! The captain departs and the match keeps hanging in balance. Only 27 runs needed and it is a run a ball target but pressure is on from the Nepal bowlers and things are not getting easier. Nepal will have to squeeze a little more while Netherlands only need to keep their nerves.

It is halfway in the innings and still Netherlands have not yet ran away with the match. They had a steady start but Vikramjit Singh getting dismissed bi Dipendra Singh has still held the match in the balance. The next four overs will be very crucial for either side. 

After the wicket of Michael Levitt, Vikramjit Singh has played some crisp shots looking to maximize the powerplay and he found occasional success from it, enough to give the Dutch a steady start. Max O'Dowd has solidified at the other end and the first job is done for Netherlands. They are in control now. Nepal has an uphill task in hand. 

Vikramjit Singh throws the kitchen sink and gets lucky with two boundaries after first two overs were bowled pretty tightly by Nepal bowlers. It also resulted in a wicket of Michael Levitt but Netherlands know how important powerplay runs is here. 

Out! Fantastic fielding from the Dutch outfit. They have not let go of a single chance and has been clinical in every opportunity. Gulshan Jha went for a wild across the line swing and lost his stumps. Abinash Bohara was the last one to get dismissed as Nepal gets wrapped up for 106. Tim Pringle and Logan van Beek shared three wickets each. 

Only twelve balls remain and Netherlands have been pretty clinical till now. Gulshan Jha and Karan KC are on the crease and they will look to get as much possible in the end overs. Conditions are still in favour of the bowlers and some luck can push the game close if they can put on the board just enough. 

Out! Nothing changes, a few good shots and a wicket. Netherlands have really put out a strong bowling performance here. Paul van Meekeren dismisses Sompal Kami now. Uses the conditions well, makes the ball top nip back just enough. Nepal are in trouble and they need to somehow get to competitive score. 

Out! Netherlands keep using the conditions to their advantage. The intent has been superb from Nepal but not the execution. Despite one or two great looking shots they have never really managed to stop losing wickets. Netherlands have the control here and they will look to squeeze here. 

Out! Kushal Bhurtel goes to play across the line and gets the trapped infront of the stumps. Bhurtel was looking to play his shots and it looked risky given the conditions. Netherlands have rocked Nepal early and they will look to capitalise on it. 

Nepal have started the innings with intent but the conditions are not at all easy to bat. There is seam movement in the pitch and the conditions are overcast. Kushal Burtel has looked to play a few shots but Tim Pringle has caught Aasif Sheikh offguard getting him dismissed at the short third man.
