An interesting tri-series is currently underway between three nations: Nepal, Namibia, and Netherlands, with a lot of cricket action taking place in the host nation, Nepal. 

A total of six T20I matches have been scheduled between these nations, with the final set to take place on March 5th. 

In the latest T20I encounter, Nepal outperformed Netherlands, securing a convincing six-wicket victory by successfully chasing down the modest target of 120 runs in a mere 15.2 overs. 

Additionally, the game witnessed an extraordinary play as Nepal's Kushal Bhurtel prevented a potential six and executed a stunning run-out of Netherlands' Vivian Kingma, putting on exceptional fielding skills.  

Netherlands batter Roelof van der Merwe connected with a full-toss delivery from Dipender Singh Airee, aiming for his second six of the innings over long-on. 

Just as the ball was about to clear the boundary, Bhurtel intervened with an incredible leap, redirecting it back into play, denying what appeared to be a sure six. He, then, recovered from the fall, ran towards the ball, and threw it to the wicketkeeper's end. 

By then, the two batters, taken by surprise, managed a single run after Bhurtel's magic but got stuck at one end while going for the second. Wicketkeeper Aasif Sheikh made no mistake, whipping off the bails to send Kingma packing, as Netherlands were bowled out for 120 runs in 19.3 overs.
