Vikram Singh contributed 22 runs, while Sybrand Engelbrecht was the only other Dutch batsman to reach double figures, scoring 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nepal, on the other hand, were left to lament three dropped catches that could have altered the outcome, including a crucial miss by skipper Rohit Paudel in the 18th over that would have dismissed O&#8217;Dowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/24hscore.net\/news\/cricket-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cricket News Update<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Max O&#39;Dowd&#39;s gritty 54* guides the Netherlands to a victory against Nepal in Dallas ?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/T20WorldCup?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#T20WorldCup<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NEDvNEP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#NEDvNEP<\/a> | ?: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/B1xT0kd9Xa\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/B1xT0kd9Xa<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SeQZsP8F83\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/SeQZsP8F83<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ICC (@ICC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ICC\/status\/1798081599231451410?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">June 4, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Netherlands&#8217; modest target was set up by a disciplined bowling performance that restricted Nepal to 106 all out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Our bowlers were awesome up top,&#8221; Netherlands captain Scott Edwards said afterwards. &#8220;All five of our bowlers were brilliant. Ideally, we would have got the runs a little quicker, but it was great the way Max batted, and Bassie finished it off well. We&#8217;ve got to play consistent cricket right through this tournament.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Logan van Beek took three wickets for just 18 runs, while Tim Pringle also claimed three wickets, finishing with figures of 3-20 off four overs. Paul van Meekeren chipped in with two wickets for 19 runs, and de Leede ended with 2-22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After losing the toss, Nepal&#8217;s batsmen struggled to adapt to the moist, overcast conditions, exacerbated by a delayed start due to a wet outfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The conditions while batting were really challenging,&#8221; Nepal captain Paudel said. &#8220;Netherlands bowled really well.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nepal found themselves in early trouble at 15-2 after 3.1 overs. Anil Sah was the next to fall, scoring 11 runs before being caught by van Beek off Pringle, leaving Nepal at 40-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rohit Paudel offered a brief revival with a brisk 35 off 37 balls, but he soon ran out of middle-order support. Kushal Malla, Dipendra Singh Airee, and Sompal Kami fell in quick succession, reducing Nepal to 66-6 after 13.2 overs. When Paudel was dismissed by Pringle, the final three wickets fell rapidly, sealing Nepal&#8217;s fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A steely knock ?<br><br>Max O\u2019Dowd makes his mark at the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/T20WorldCup?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#T20WorldCup<\/a> 2024 with a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MyIndusIndBank?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@MyIndusIndBank<\/a> Milestone ?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NEDvNEP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#NEDvNEP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gCGObFtrRd\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/gCGObFtrRd<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ICC (@ICC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ICC\/status\/1798080578740486198?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">June 4, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Max O&#8217;Dowd (30) struck an unbeaten half-century to guide the Netherlands to a six-wicket win over Nepal in their T20 World Cup Group D match on Tuesday.
