We are in the 5th game in the ongoing Scotland T20I Tri-Series 2025. Nepal sits at the bottom of the points table and shall look to do well as they take on the Netherlands. Nepal defeated Scotland in the last game and will look to build on the momentum. The Netherlands defeated Scotland in the last game and shall aim to finish at the top of the points table in the tournament.
The Netherlands have won both games, and the team will be confident. The batting lineup has done well in the tournament and will make the team confident. Nepal's batters have struggled in these conditions, and they must execute their plans with the bat. They won't give a walkover to the Netherlands, setting up an interesting contest.

Rohit Paudel's side defeated Scotland in the last game by 2 wickets. It was a good fightback from the lower middle order, and the tail after the top and the middle order had messed up an easy run chase. They lost the last game against the Netherlands in the Super Over, and Paudel would like to settle scores with a strong show in this game.
Kushal Bhurtel must deliver a strong start in this game, with Lokesh Bam as the Dutch have a strong pace attack. The middle order failed in the last game, and the team expects partnerships between Anil Sah, Rohit Paudel, and Dipendra Singh Airee. Basir Ahamad and Kiran Thagunna must do well in the lower middle order.
Karan KC and Dipendra Singh Airee have bowled well this season, and the team needs early wickets from them to put the Netherlands side under pressure. Sandeep Lamichhane is the star bowler in the team and must keep the scoring rate under check in the middle overs with Lalit Rajbanshi. Kushal Bhurtel and Kiran Thagunna must do well in the supporting role.
Khushal Bhurtel Total Runs Over 16.5 1.85
Kushal Bhurtel is Nepal's linchpin in the tri-series decider. Their leading scorer with 64 runs in two matches, including a match-winning 30 against Scotland, he's in prime form. With an impressive T20I average of 48.43 in his last 10 games, we're backing Bhurtel to score over 16 runs and lead Nepal's charge.

Scott Edwards' team has done well in the tournament. They defeated Scotland in the last game by 17 runs and sit at the top of the points table. They defeated Nepal in the last game and shall take inspiration from that win. Edwards expects a strong show from his players to finish the tournament on a high.
Michael Levitt is enjoying a good run in the tournament and will look to deliver a good start with Max O'Dowd. The team has a formidable middle order and expects partnerships between Teja Nidamanuru, Noah Croes, and Scott Edwards. Vikramjit Singh, Ryan Klein, and Aryan Dutt would look to do the big-hitting in the lower middle order.
The side will expect a good show with the new ball from Michael Levitt and Vivian Kingma to put Nepal under pressure. Roelof van der Merwe is an experienced bowler and shall look to do well in the middle overs with Aryan Dutt. Daniel Doram and Teja Nidamanuru add depth to this attack.
Michael Levitt Total Runs Over 19.5 1.85
In a series decider against Nepal, all eyes are on Michael Levitt. The leading run-scorer with 146 runs in three matches, Levitt is in phenomenal form. After a match-winning 90 off 57 against Scotland and averaging 42.71 in his last eight T20Is, we predict he'll score over 19 runs to help Netherlands secure the tri-series.

We expect clear skies over Glasgow. The wicket is flat, and batsmen have scored runs on it easily in both games. Bowlers have little margin for error as the ball comes to the bat nicely. The average first innings score is 162 runs, and the team batting first shall aim to have 200 runs on the board.
Titwood, Glasgow, has a large but fast outfield. Batsmen have done well at this venue, and they can play their strokes. Spinners have earned rewards from the track as the ball turns sharply. However, fast bowlers don't have much on this track.
Nepal to win the coin toss 1.95
We predict Nepal to win the coin toss in the fifth match of the Scotland T20I Tri Series against the Netherlands.
We saw a high-scoring contest in the last game played at the venue. The wicket was excellent to bat on in the first innings and slowed down slightly in the end. The side that wins the toss would like to take advantage of it by batting first.
Nepal has a strong bowling attack, but their batsmen have struggled in these conditions, where the ball bounces a lot and moves off the surface. They need a good show from the top and middle order to win this game. The Netherlands have won both games and have their top order in good form. We expect a close contest, but the Netherlands will start ahead.
