Netherlands vs Nepal match gets settled after 3 Super Overs, netizen calls it 'craziest match in cricket history'

A T20 game between Nepal and the Netherlands from the 2025 Scotland Tri-Nation Series has scripted its name in cricketing history. The winner of the match was decided after the end of the third Super Over, which is the first time an incident like this has occurred in any Men's professional game. This all started when Nepal needed 16 runs to win the last over and Nandan Yadav scored 2,1,4,2,2,4, equalling Netherlands' total of 152 in 20 overs. Now, the winner of the Tri-Nation series was to be decided with a Super Over
