Nepal defeated Netherlands by six wickets in the fifth match of the ongoing three-match series, which also featured Namibia. Nepal, who were asked to bowl first, defeated Netherlands by 120 runs, with Pratis GC snatching three wickets. Nepal then chased the target in 15.2 overs with 6 wickets in hand. Apart from this low-scoring affair, it was Kushal Bhurtel’s brilliant defensive performance that caught everyone’s attention. The incident occurred in the 19th inning of the Dutch team.
Roelof van der Merwe fired over long off Dipender Singh Airee’s full-strength pass. The shot looked like an easy six but Bourtel showed his defensive prowess and jumped to stop the ball from crossing the boundary.
