NEP vs NED Dream11 Tips for Match 1 Nepal Tri Nations Cup – T20I Today Match Prediction 17 April

NEP vs NED Dream11: The tri-nations series between Nepal, Netherlands, and Malaysia will kick off on Saturday with the first game scheduled to take place between the hosts Nepal and Netherlands at Kathmandu in the morning.

All three teams will return to international action after almost a gap of one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nepal’s last international series was a tri-series against Oman and the USA in early February of 2020 at home.

The hosts Nepal and Netherlands have met in six encounters so far. Their most recent encounter was in October 2019 during a pentangular series at Muscat when Karan KC struck 31* from 14 to hand Nepal its second win. The Netherlands have won 3 games against Nepal, while one game ended in a memorable wash-out at Lord’s.

It will be interesting to watch how both teams approach coming off a hiatus of more than twelve months. The match will start at 01:00 PM IST. Let’s see who takes an edge in this game and sets the tone for the rest of the tournament.
