When The Netherlands Stunned the Cricket World in general and Ireland in Particular

Sixes rained in Sylhet as Netherlands shocked almost the whole cricket world, when they chased down a formidable target of 190 runs given them by Ireland to enter the Super 10 round with style.


Needing to chase down the target in 14.2 overs to qualify for the next round, the Dutch team managed to reach the target in 13.5 overs.


Open batsmen Peter Borren and Stephen Myburgh started the chase hitting six after six, leaving Ireland with no option. Their partnership of 91 was put on in just 7 overs. Borren, Myburgh and van Beek lost their wickets in quick succession giving some hope to Ireland. Tom Cooper, the best batsman for the Dutch in this series was dropped early in his innings and made good of the life given him by scoring 45 in 15 overs, raising the Dutch hope of qualifying for Super 10. His brother Ben Cooper and one down batsman Wesley Barresi saw the team through.


Only Kevin O’Brien had respectable figures for the Irish, ending with 2 for 29 in three overs.


114 runs of the Dutch innings came in sixes.


Summary


Ireland 189-4 in 20 overs. Poynter 57, W Porterfield 47, K O’Brien 42 n.o.

Netherlands 193-4 in 13.5 overs. Stephen Myburgh 63, Tom Cooper 45, Wesley Barresi 40.
