This Tri-Nation T20I Series between the '3 N's' has been excellent viewing and has shown that all three sides have plenty of talent and are not all that far behind some of the more established Test playing teams.
We have seen two centurions across the group stage with Michael Levitt of the Netherlands one of those and looking to make another in this final! With the ball, Ruben Trumpelmann is the leading wicket taker but the Namibian will be nowhere to be seen in this final as the Karan KC of Nepal and Vivian Kingma of the Netherlands go head to head.
Whatever happens, we can expect a brilliantly contested final in Kirtipur!
Although they did not finish top of the group stage, Nepal will fancy their chances in this final as they beat the Netherlands in their last game with a convincing six wicket victory with 28 balls remaining!
Captain Rohit Paudel top scored with 46 runs from 34 balls as he hit over a third of Nepal's 121 required to win the game. There was also a very useful 38 runs from 36 balls from Gulsan Jha and even though neither Paudel or Jha were there to see the team over the line, their contributions were critical.
With the ball, Karan KC (2/18), Pratis GC (3/13) and Kushal Malla (2/18) will all be looking forward to bowling at these batters once more.

Only 15 overs were possible in the Netherlands' final group stage game against Namibia with the south Africans on 98/4 when the rain arrived. Only batters Michael Levitt and Sybrand Engelbrecht went wicketless for the Netherlands with the rest of the bowling attack impressing with their accuracy.
Michael Levitt is the leading run scorer in the tournament and with Sybrand Engelbrecht the fifth highest run scorer we can expect both of the batters to be key.
The Netherlands impressed in the 2023 Cricket World Cup and they know that a win in this final is imperative if they are to consolidate their position as one of the top associate sides in world cricket.

There will be some cloud in Kirtipur throughout this game with the temperature increasing from 17 degrees to 21 degrees in this final. Humidity levels will fall across the match.
We have seen some big totals at this venue during the tournament although the Netherlands were dismissed for 120 runs in their last innings and Namibia were on 98/4 from 15 overs when the rain arrived in Match 6. That said, a par score will be over 185 in this game.
Four of the five completed games in this tournament have been won by the team batting first in this Tri-Nation T20I Series so we predict that both teams will want to bat first in this final.
With the Netherlands finishing top of the table, many pundits are expecting an easy win for the men in orange over Nepal. But that fails to look at the recent form which has seen Nepal win two in a row, including over the Netherlands, and the tourists not win either of their last two games! However it plays out, it will be an entertaining day in Kirtipur and our prediction is for the Netherlands to win by a narrow margin.
We are backing the Netherlands to win this match!
