Seelaar did stop Delany from reaching his half-century but it was a little too late for Netherlands to pull back things. With a low score on the board, it required one good partnership and that is what Netherlands failed to break. However, their bowlers did keep things tight in the Powerplay and even picked up a couple of wickets. Adds that it's never easy to win three in a row and they'll make sure that they win the next one against Namibia.Įarlier in the day, a hat-trick from Curtis Campher and some brilliant bowling from Mark Adair saw Netherlands being restricted to a really modest total. It proved to be a cake walk for the Irish batters as they chased down 107 runs with 29 balls left, on the back of a great innings from Gareth Delany. With this Ireland go top in Group A and have given a huge boost to their Super 12 qualification chances.Īfter a poor display with the bat, Netherlands only made things worse for themselves with the ball as they gave away 7 extras in the first over itself.
Mentions that the wicket did hold up a little bit and even in the first innings it wasn't easy to bat on. Adds that the bowlers did show some fight and defending such a total isn't easy.
The captain of Netherlands, Pieter Seelaar says that, it wasn't the best Powerplay and the wicket was not as flat as they thought it would be. Adds that Gareth Delany played the innings they wanted him to play and it was a comfortable chase in the end.
Mentions that their bowling performance was really satisfying as a group and their batters did well to chase it down. The Irish skipper, Andy Balbirnie says that, it feels really good to get a win. Tells that he definitely heard some noise (On Ackermann's wicket) and says that he also knew that the ball was going to hit the stumps (On Edwards') wicket and therefore, they took the review. Mentions that the skipper has faith in him and that helps a lot. Till then, take care and goodbye.Ĭurtis Campher is the MAN OF THE MATCH! Campher says that he just kept hitting the hard length and kept bowling on probing lines and lengths. That one begins at 6 pm local time (2 pm GMT). Up next, it's Sri Lanka vs Namibia in Group A. Pondicherry: 4 points, Odisha: 0.Right then! That is all we have from this game, but the action continues in the T20 World Cup.

In reply, Goa was never in the hunt as the Maharashtra bowlers kept striking at regular intervals with left-arm spinner Satyajit Bachhav (3 for 27) doing most of the damage. In the Maharashtra-Goa match, Gaikwad missed out on a half-century, falling for 44 while opener Yash Nahar hit a ton (103 not out, 68 balls, 6 fours, 3 sixers) to help the team reach 177 for 3 in 20 overs.
