Nepal chasing 135 against netherlands in 20 overs this is a very important match

Disappointed this isn't being live streamed

If random club games in HK can be live streamed (with multiple camera angles, commentary and replays) then there is no reason why international cricket in Nepal can't.

it was apparently streamed but with very confusing geoblocks (Cricket Netherlands announced a stream and there were ways to get it)

Malaysia to get smashed today

So Netherlands Cricket is live streaming these game on their YouTube page in Netherlands only

Malaysia Cricket are live streaming today's game on Facebook.

Excited. Malaysia are a much improved side, and the Dutch are playing away from home conditions with a slightly inexperienced squad. Lost the fist game to Nepal handily. Should be interesting to watch.

From Malaysia's POV a couple of wins here puts them above HK in the world T20I rankings, so I'm hoping they get smashed and smashed hard.

The Malaysian players have largely been in lockdown so preparation has been pretty bad. I think they'll get smashed.

Was there a lockdown recently? Wasn't too long ago they were playing intra-squad matches and some T10 thing too, plus they have Kinrara Oval at their disposal.

Don't know how the Dutch have been preparing, while Nepal have had some domestix stuff.

FB live stream is choppy and seems to have died.

Yeah in Feb. They're still in partial lockdown aws.

Malaysia doing alright here. Netherlands 66/2 in 8.3. Max O'Dowd looking dangerous, needs to go big.

ftr the Dutch league got cancelled last season so no one outside of the overseas pros have had serious game time since 2019

Cooper jr looking a bit tentative here, trying to slog a bit but not reading the spin right

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Malaysia should just bowl slow darts from here on out

 

[cnerd123]

100 for O'Dowd! First ever T20I century for Netherlands, fantastic stuff.

Netherlands should end at around 180

Four short of the highest in all internationals in the end (Barresi 137* vs Kenya 2014). Lusty blows.

eventful start to the chase there. Malaysia on track to get smashed.

Kingma bowling pace with glasses on, not often you see that

 

[Magrat Garlick]

seems to be "give everyone a bowl" day

which, given the state of the match, probably fair enough

 

[cnerd123]

Strong end to the powerplay. Threatening partnership this. Seelaar needs to wheel off his 4 for not many and hope one of these two get themselves out. Virandeep is a proper good batter and Sharvin's not bad either.

 

[cnerd123]

Virandeep playing a blinder, but might have too much to do

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Good from Kingma to come back after that mare of a second over. The sort of bowler NL needs

 

[cnerd123]

worst decision to give Braat the 19th
