Preview:
There is not much significance in the last league phase game of the 2021 Nepal Tri-Nation Series, as the finalists have already been decided. With 2 wins each, both Nepal and Netherlands have been able to book their place in the finale showdown.
Malaysia were never a realistic contender for the title, but they have played some good cricket at times. It is the team effort in unison that has been lacking for them. Nonetheless, this series has been a good learning curve for them, and if they take the learnings from this series into application, they will be a much better team in the coming days.
