In a dramatic and unprecedented T20I showdown in Glasgow on Monday, cricket witnessed a historic first, a match that extended into not one, not two, but three Super Overs, as the Netherlands edged past Nepal in a heart-stopping contest.

The game, part of a tri-nation series also featuring hosts Scotland, initially seemed to tilt in the Netherlands’ favour. After being asked to bat first, they posted a competitive total of 152 for seven, anchored by steady middle-order contributions. Nepal`s chase appeared to falter until tailender Nandan Yadav produced two crucial boundaries in the final over, dramatically leveling the scores and forcing the contest into a Super Over.
