Netherlands have opened their account for T20 World Cup 2024 with a nail-biting win over Nepal

Nepal were off to a horrid start, as windy conditions and uneven bounce off the pitch restricted Nepal to 52/4 inside 10 overs

A strong fightback from ever-reliable Rohit Paudel couldn't help the cause of Nepal, as their nightmarish innings ended with a score of 106

Netherlands too, were off to a shaky start, but managed to peg away any sort of further pressure from Nepal bowlers, by making sure they don't chip away their wickets. Max O'Dowd top-scored in the match with an unbeaten 54 off 48

After exactly the conclusion of 39 overs, both teams scored 215 runs in total, as Netherlands managed to chase down the target of 107 with 6 wickets remaining
