Netherlands vs Nepal Matches: ODI and T20I Record
The 7 ODIs since Jun 2023 have swung back and forth. The sides split two games at Kirtipur in Feb 2024, Nepal then won both at Dundee in Jun 2025, and the Netherlands answered with two wins at Utrecht in Jul 2026. That leaves the Dutch on a run of 2.
The T20I series has had wider margins. Nepal’s 142-run win at Kirtipur on 24 Apr 2021 is the biggest in the matchup, built on 238/3, a total neither side has topped in this fixture. The Dutch reply came in the very first meeting, at Amstelveen on 1 Jul 2015: Nepal bowled out for 69 and beaten by 103 runs.
Several T20Is were very tight: the Netherlands edging home by 2 runs at Kirtipur (28 Feb 2024), and a tie at Glasgow on 16 Jun 2025, which the Netherlands won in the super over. Nepal took the most recent T20I three days later, by 6 wickets. A match at Lord’s ended with no result.

Leading Players and Best Performances
K Bhurtel (Nepal) heads the T20I batting, 339 runs from 9 innings with 4 fifties, and also returned the best ODI figures, 4/20, in Feb 2024. Aarif Sheikh (Nepal) leads the ODI run list with 239, ahead of SA Edwards (Netherlands) on 227.
M Levitt (Netherlands) hit the best T20I innings, 86 from 53 deliveries at Glasgow in Jun 2025, and MP O’Dowd (Netherlands) the top ODI score, 90 at Harare on 24 Jun 2023.
Nepal fill the top of the T20I wicket list. Karan KC (Nepal) has 17 wickets and the best figures of 4/17, and S Lamichhane (Nepal) has 16 at an average of 13.44. In ODIs, LN Rajbanshi (Nepal) leads with 9, while LV van Beek (Netherlands) has 8 at just 7.62 each.
Chasing Sides Win More Often
Both formats favour the side batting second. Five of the 7 ODIs were won by the chaser, against a first-innings average of 188. In T20Is the chasing team has 7 wins and the team setting a target 4, while the first innings averages 163. The toss has been no guide. Its winner has taken 4 of the 7 ODIs, and in T20Is it has been on the losing side more often than not, winning 5 of 11 decided games.
The Tribhuvan University ground at Kirtipur accounts for 8 of the 20 meetings, shared 4 apiece. One T20I was played at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, a 6-wicket Dutch win, and one at Lord’s.
