2024 T20 World Cup Points Table: Updated standings after Netherlands vs Nepal match
A good-looking Netherlands side opened their account in the T20 World Cup 2024 as they beat Nepal by six wickets on June 4. With the win, they gained two points and are currently second in the Group D points table.
After being asked to bat first, Nepal's batters stumbled to be bundled out for a mere 106. The Dutch bowling attack, led by Tim Pringle, kept things tight and picked up wickets at regular intervals. Pringle, who finished with figures of 3/15, was adjudged the Player of the Match for his economical spell.
Chasing a modest target of 107, the Netherlands didn't experience smooth sailing either. They lost wickets consistently throughout their innings but managed to keep the scoreboard ticking. A crucial knock from Max O'Dowd (54*) helped them cross the finish line with eight balls to spare.
The Dutch side are just behind South Africa in the Group D points table. Both the Netherlands and South Africa have two points each, with NRRs of +1.508 and +0.539 respectively. Meanwhile, Nepal are fourth, just above Sri Lanka, who lost to the Proteas.
Bangladesh are yet to open their account as their first game is scheduled to take place on June 8 against Sri Lanka in Dallas.
