Netherlands’ lower-middle order held their nerves to eke out a three-wicket success over United Arab Emirates with a ball to spare in a Round 1 group A match of the ICC T20 World Cup here on Sunday.
While UAE had a hard time to reach 111 for 8 in 20 overs, the overall began looking enormous once the Netherlands were decreased to 76 for 6 by the 14 th over prior to they collected their bearings.
It was Scott Edwards(16 not out) and Logan Van Beek( 4 not out) who kept their cool in the last over bowled by medium pacer Zawar Farid as Netherlands scuttled house for a single off the penultimate shipment of the match to start on a winning note.
It was Pakistan-born Junaid Siddique (3/24 in 4 overs), who dismissed Tom Cooper (8) and previous South African-born IPL gamer Roelof van der Merwe in 3 balls to bring UAE back in the video game.
But, Tim Pringle(15 ), kid of previous New Zealand seamer Chris, and Edwards included 27 runs in 5 overs to take the Netherlands group closer to success.
Incidentally, neither Pringle nor Edwards struck a single border in their seventh wicket stand however the absence of scoreboard pressure permitted them to turn the strike with mainly songs and periodic doubles.
Earlier, when UAE batted, they might never ever truly require the speed as Muhammad Waseem crawled to 41 off 47 balls. Shipments worth more than 10 overs entered the account of dots as all the Netherlands bowlers were on the cash.
Pacer Bas de Leede, whose dad Tim had actually played the 1996 World Cup for the ‘Orange Brigade, was the choice of the bowlers with 3/19 in 3 overs while opening bowler Fred Klaassen (2/13) and Van der Merwe (1/19), with his sluggish left arm orthodox, kept the overall under check.
Brief Scores: UAE 111/ 8 (Muhammad Waseem 41, Bas de Leede 3/19, Roelof van der Merwe 1/19). Netherlands 112/ 7 (Scott Edwards 16, Tim Pringle 15, Junaid Siddique 3/24).
