First men’s professional cricket match to finish level three times
Michael Levitt clubs six off first ball of third super over to seal win
The Netherlands and Nepal have etched their names in the cricket record books after the two sides could not be split until a third super over eventually found a winner in their T20 clash in Glasgow.
It is the first time that a men’s professional match – either T20 or List A – has gone to a third super over with the Dutch opener Michael Levitt finally clubbing a six to clinch his side’s memorable triumph.
The Netherlands looked to be cruising to victory after setting a target of 153 and with Nepal needing 16 runs from the last over and tailenders Sandeep Lamichhane and Nandan Yadav at the crease.
