Fans online have reacted with memes after witnessing three thrilling Super Overs during the T20 match between the Netherlands and Nepal at Titwood Cricket Ground in Glasgow on Monday, June 16. It was the second game of the tri-series, with Scotland, the Netherlands, and Nepal competing against each other.

It was a scintillating encounter as both teams fought hard to succeed. After tying scores in their respective 20 overs (152), both sides scored the same number of runs in the subsequent two Super Overs (19). The Dutch side eventually prevailed as they beat Nepal in the third Super over by not allowing to score in their designated over and scoring a six of the first ball. They eventually got off the mark in the points table.

Cricket enthusiasts enjoyed the entertaining game between the two teams and expressed their reactions by sharing hilarious memes on X (formerly known as Twitter). Here are some of the best ones:

Spinners Daniel Doram and Zach Lion-Cachet star for the Netherlands in the win vs Nepal via Super over in 2nd match of the Tri-Series 2025

Nepal captain Rohit Paudel won the toss and invited the opposition to bat first in the contest. The Dutch team managed to reach a respectable total of 152 for seven in the first innings, courtesy of contributions from Teja Nidamanuru (35), Vikramjit Singh (30) and Saqib Zulfiqar (25*). Star leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhanne (3/18) and pacer Nandan Yadav (2/18) were among the wickets for the subcontinental side in the bowling department.

In reply, Rohit Paudel (48) and Kushal Bhurtel (34) performed decently to set a decent platform in the chase. However, the Netherlands bowlers kept taking wickets at regular intervals to keep their team alive in the contest. Daniel Doram bowled a brilliant spell of 4-0-14-3 for the Dutch in the middle overs phase.

The equation came down to 16 runs from the last six balls. Nepal could only score 15 runs in the final over, which resulted in a tie. The Asian team then set a 20-run target in the first super over. It proved insufficient to obtain a decisive win as the Netherlands got to 19 after facing six balls, forcing another Super over.

The Dutch team batted first during the second installment and scored 17/1. Nepal got to 17/0 to take the match into the third Super Over. Off-spinner Zach Lion Cachet then dismissed two Nepal batters without conceding a run in four balls before Michael Levitt finished formalities by hitting a six to seal the win for the Netherlands.
