#3 Michael Swart vs Nepal, 2015

ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier - Netherlands v Nepal
Netherland's Michael Swart dished out a special knock against Nepal

The Netherlands 172/4 (Swart 76*, Cooper 66) beat Nepal 69 (Rippon 3/11) by 103 runs

Australia-born Michael Swart gave the touring Nepal side a glimpse of top-level International Cricket, carrying his bat through an unbeaten knock of 76 at Amstelveen. Though the game was only against the Netherlands, it must have been an eye-opener for Nepal, who had hardly played any international cricket before. 8 fours and a six laced Swart's 59-ball-knock as he steadily built the innings, while other batsmen around him, played the big shots.

Chasing 173 to win, only 3 Nepali batsmen made it into the double digits, as their side crashed 7 runs short of Swart's individual effort, and a massive 103 runs short of the Netherlands.
