The 5th match of the Scotland T20I Tri-Series 2025 will feature Nepal taking on the Netherlands at the Titwood Cricket Ground on June 19. The game is expected to be an exciting confrontation because both teams are aiming for a significant victory. Nepal, currently at the bottom of the table, will aim to build on their recent win over Scotland. Meanwhile, the Netherlands are sitting comfortably with two wins in as many matches and look determined to secure the top spot.
While Nepal has shown flashes of brilliance, their inconsistency with the bat in foreign conditions remains a concern. The Netherlands, on the other hand, have displayed a well-rounded performance with both bat and ball and are considered the stronger unit going into this contest.
The surface at Titwood is a flat batting track offering true bounce, which makes stroke play easier. Recent T20I matches here have seen scores exceeding 190, and another high-scoring encounter can be expected. Bowlers will need to utilize variations and stay disciplined with their lines.
