Delhi: Three super overs were played for the first time in a T20 International cricket match. This historic match was played in Glasgow on Monday, where the Netherlands defeated Nepal. After the end of 20 overs, the match was tied, after which 3 super overs were thrown. The match was part of a tri -series, including Scotland.

Batting first, the Netherlands scored 152 runs losing 7 wickets. The victory of the Netherlands seemed to be almost certain, but Nepal’s lower order batsman Nandan Yadav put two fours in the final over and took the match to the super over.

First super over:

Nepal batted in the first super over and scored 19 runs. Opener Kushan Bhurtel performed two sixes and a four off the balls of Daniel Dorm.

In response, the Netherlands opener Max O’ -Doud also hit two sixes and a four and brought the match once again. In this way the match was drawn to the second super over.

Nepal once again equalized the match. Captain Rohit Paudel hit a six, while Deepender Singh Ari also equaled the score with a six and a four and took the match to the third super over, which was the first time in history.

Third super over:

Everything was wrong for Nepal in this third super over. The team lost both wickets without scoring any runs. The Netherlands off-spinner Zac Lion-Catcher became a hero with both wickets.

After this, the Netherlands batsman Michael Levitt hit a six off the first ball and ended this historical and memorable match. Zack Lion-Catchtte was adjudged ‘Player of the Match’.

Talking about the most memorable super over, there is definitely a mention of the final of the 2019 World Cup, where the match between England and New Zealand was tied even after a super over and England was eventually declared the winner on the basis of putting more boundary. After that final, the rules were changed, so that if the first super over tie, then the second super over will be played.
