Netherlands vs Nepal Scorecard and Highlights: Netherlands get over the line, win the match by 6-wickets against Nepal

Netherlands vs Nepal Scorecard and Highlights: Post-match comments

Scott Edwards - Netherlands captain: Obviously we got a bit of a read of the wicket (good toss to win?). Our bowlers did well in the powerplay. Both of those boys have been brilliant for us over a few years now (Pringle and van Beek). Ideally we would've liked to get there a bit quicker (talking about the chase). Was a trickier wicket than we were expecting. For us, it's the consistency. To go well in these tournaments you have to play consistent cricket.

Rohit Paudel - Nepal captain: The overhead conditions was really challenging. Credit to Netherlands bowlers also. We could've done better with the bat. After getting start myself, I could've stretched more. I was moving laterally and using the crease to disturb the length. It was working for me. After the start, I could've done better. As a bowling unit we bowled well. In the field we could've done better. Result would've been different. Last one I dropped, it was very crucial. Want to thank all of them (the crowd). Was feeling like we were playing in Nepal. If we do better as batting unit, we can do better.

Netherlands vs Nepal Live Score: comments at toss

Napal Captain, Rohit Paudel - It is a big occasion for us, we're here after 10 years, it was always a dream to play in a World Cup. Feel happy, playing for Nepal is a pleasure and I have enjoyed it. We're looking to win this game and then take it one at a time. Toss doesn't matter if you play good cricket.

Netherlands Captain, Scott Edwards - We are going to bowl first. Bit of conditions around, could be a bit of help for the pacers. Our first goal is to get to the next round, we'll need to play some good cricket. We come from a small country, we play a lot against each other in intrasquad games (on the lack of a lot of international cricket since the 2022 tournament). He's a super talent, has played well recently and made some big runs (on Michael Levitt).
