- Netherlands won two of their three men’s T20Is against Nepal as part of the Nepal Triangular Series in March 2024, including the final by four wickets; they had lost four out of five matches against Nepal prior to this span.
- Nepal qualified for the men’s T20 World Cup for the second time, beating United Arab Emirates in the semifinal of the Asia Regional Qualifer; they won two out of three matches in their only previous appearance in 2014, but failed to qualify for the Super 10 due to an inferior run rate.
- Netherlands have won their last two men’s T20 World Cup matches and will be looking to win three matches in a row for the first time; they had lost four straight matches prior to this span.
- Nepal have lost each of their last two men’s T20Is, after winning three in a row prior to that; the last time the Rhinos lost more such matches on the bounce was a stretch of four games between July 2015 and January 2019.
- Netherlands are the only team outside of the full-member sides to have multiple batters score 200+ runs in a single edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup - Max O'Dowd (242 runs in 2022), Tom Cooper (231 runs in 2014), and Stephan Myburgh (224 runs in 2014).
- Nepal have won each of their last three men’s T20Is when chasing a target, having lost two in a row prior to that in such situations; the last time won more such matches on the trot was a stretch of five games in October 2023.
- Kushal Bhurtel (nine 50+ scores) is one away from becoming the second batter to log 10 or more 50+ scores in men’s T20Is for Nepal (Dipendra Singh Airee – 10); however, Bhurtel has been dismissed for ducks in each of his last three games, and last scored 50+ runs in an innings in the format in March 2024 (59 vs Papua New Guinea).
- Paul van Meekeren (18 wickets) is two away from becoming the first Netherlands bowler to pick up 20 wickets in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup; Meekeren has failed to register a wicket in just one of 11 innings in the competition.
- Tim Pringle has a bowling economy rate of 6 in the men’s T20 World Cup, the joint best of any Netherlands bowler (min. 5 innings) in the competition (also Fred Klaassen); Pringle has taken three wickets over his six innings in previous editions of the competition.
- Kushal Malla has a batting strike rate of 167.2 in men’s T20Is, the highest by any Nepal batter in the format; in fact, only Dipendra Singh Airee (38.7) has aggregated a better batting average than Malla (29.7) in the format for Nepal.
