T20 World Cup 2024 Nepal over Netherlands Match Preview: Both teams have interesting cricketers, their mind- to- head record is almost dead also, and with higher- ranked teams in their group, this is a game they the n't reduce
Match information
Great picture- Netherlands favourites, but only just
In this T20 World Cup, Group D is one of the two most visible causes of death. The two lowest-ranked teams in the group, Nepal and Netherlands, have a major record of outperforming their counterparts at World Cups.
Consider this? And this? And this? And more just, over the last two decades, this, and this?
Netherlands will have to defeat the one team they are favorites to defeat before they can try to produce those kind of effects against South Africa, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. And it wo n't be easy.
Netherlands have won a close-fought last.
Although Nepal and the Netherlands have only played in one T20 World Cup before, the results from that game, in which they defeated Afghanistan and were ultimately unable to claim a Super 10s place, may indicate that this could be a very close game.

In the limelight are Dipendra Airee and Michael Levitt.
At age 19, Michael Levitt made his first Netherlands call-up last season, and he has since since made his February album playing for the first time. The South Africa- born Levitt has scored 349 operates in eight T20I innings thus much, at an average of 43.62 and a strike price of 156.50. He made Netherlands ' highest T20I score in just his next T20I, smashing 135 off only 62 balls against Namibia, and he comes into this tournament with form behind him also, scoring a 28- ball 55 in the comfortable- up victory over Sri Lanka.
You likely remember him for scoring the fastest T20I fifty, off only nine balls, against Mongolia during next week's Asian Games, but Dipendra Singh Airee, Nepal's highest operate- getter in T20Is, has shown his quality against higher- ranked teams also. Netherlands know what he's capable of, earlier this year, Nepal were six down against them in Kirtipur, needing 57 off 24 balloons, when Airee went nuclear. His 34-ball 63 gave Nepal the lead, but Netherlands and Netherlands needed four runs off three balls to get by two runs.
Team media
Since Levitt's development, Vikramjit Singh has dropped out of Netherlands ' initial- alternative starting mixture. He can bird at No. 3 or 4 if he finds a spot in their Viii on Tuesday.
Netherlands ( probable ): 1 Max O'Dowd, 2 Michael Levitt, 3 Vikramjit Singh, 4 Scott Edwards ( capt & wk ), 5 Teja Nidamanuru, 6 Bas de Leede, 7 Sybrand Engelbrecht, 8 Logan van Beek, 9 Aryan Dutt, 10 Paul van Meekeren, 11 Vivian Kingma
With a card rejection ending Sandeep Lamichhane's probable involvement in the World Cup, the question of Lalit Rajbanshi's spin partner becomes very important. Sagar Dhakal was one of only two Nepal bowlers to complete their four- over quota in their warm- up game against Canada. It suggests that Nepal may be mulling starting the 22- year- old against Netherlands, if they decide to go with two left- arm spinners.
Nepal ( probable ): 1 Kushal Bhurtel, 2 Aasif Sheikh (wk ), 3 Anil Sah, 4 Kushal Malla, 5 Rohit Paudel ( capt ), 6 Dipendra Singh Airee, 7 Gulsan Jha, 8 Sompal Kami, 9 Karan KC, 10 Lalit Rajbanshi, 11 Abinash Bohara/Sagar Dhakal
Pitch and conditions
Dallas was where this World Cup got underway, and it got underway with a bang, as USA chased down 195 with 14 balls remaining. Twenty- one sixes were hit in that game, ten coming off the blade of Aaron Jones, who smashed an unbeaten, match- winning 94 off 40 balls. Prepare for more big hitting if the conditions remain similar.
The threat of rain hangs over the match, though, with Dallas experiencing stormy weather in the lead- up, and there's a 20 % chance of precipitation forecast for Tuesday.
Stats and trivia
Only one of Sompal Kami's survivors from Nepal's most recent T20 World Cup appearance in 2014 is Kami. The seam- bowling allrounder, who was 18 at the time, made his T20I debut in that tournament, picking up 2 for 13 in an 80- run win over Hong Kong In the same match where Airee broke the record for fastest T20I fifty, Kushal Malla scored a 34- ball century, which at that time was a T20I record too. That record has since been broken, with Nepal at the receiving end as Namibia's Jan Nicol Loftie- Eaton tonked a 34- ball ton against them in February Malla ( 167.24 ) has the against South Africa, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka very recently as well... in the 50- over World Cup and in the qualifiers. I'm so anticipating our group, and I'm confident there will be a lot of arguing.
