The 2020–21 Nepal Tri-Nation Series was a Twenty20 international cricket tournament that took place in April 2021 in Nepal.[1][2] The participating teams were Nepal, Malaysia and the Netherlands.[3] The matches were all played at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur.[4][5] The tournament was played in a double round-robin format, followed by a final between the top two sides.[6][7]
The penultimate round-robin match, between Malaysia and the Netherlands, ended in a tie.[8] It was a rain-curtailed game with no Super Over taking place due to the lost time.[9] This result meant that the Netherlands and Nepal advanced to the final.[10] Nepal defeated the Netherlands in the final by 142 runs to win the series.[11][12]
