Nepal vs Netherlands Betting Tips

Nepal to score low before 1st dismissal

Nepal has a good batting order and it has been their strength. However, there runs an inconsistency with the form in the team. Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh opened for the team in the first few games. Anil Sah replaced Bhurtel due to his poor form. Aasif Sheikh averages at 25.09 in his T20I career whereas Anil Sah made his T20I debut against Namibia in the previous game. In their last three games, the pair secured 15, 0 & 5 runs before their first dismissal. Nepal went against Netherlands in the series before where Bhurtel lost his wicket at 0. That said, the openers will have a challenge to score high in the opening partnership of their next outing. The Netherlands have an aggressive bowling order and it has improved a lot every year. They will look to pick an early wicket in the next game.
