T20 Blast | Semi Final 2: Kent set up final date with Somerset courtesy Bell-Drummond and bowlers
Riding on a brilliant knock of 82 by Daniel Bell-Drummond and exceptional bowling efforts by Fred Klassen and Matt Milnes, Kent set up a final date with Somerset in the final of the Vitality T20 Blast. It was a brilliant all-round performance that ensured that Kent defeated Sussex quite convincingly in the end by 21 runs. In conditions suited for the batters, it was the Kent skipper Sam Billings who won the toss and opted to bat. Drummond started off with some delightful shots and shared a 24 runs stand with his opening partner Zak Crawley in less than 3 overs before the dismissal of Crawley. Denly who joined Drummond at the fall of Crawley’s wicket looked a bit out of place and was dismissed for 3 after struggling for 8 deliveries. The middle-order couldn’t quite get going but Drummond at the other end continued his good work and kept ticking the scoreboard along and found the boundaries in crucial junctures of the game. There was a mini-collapse in the 11th over which saw Kent losing 3 wickets in 5 deliveries for the addition of a solitary run. However, Drummond set his foot forward and settled his nerves as he saw wickets falling in a cluster at the other end. Yet again it was the 45-year-old Darren Stevens who showed his class even at such a ripe age. Along with Drummond, he shared a crucial 42 runs stand in quick time to get Kent back into the game and after Drummond was dismissed on 82, it was Drummond who took the onus on hismelf to take Kent to a competitive score. Stevens eventually remained unbeaten on 48 of 27 deliveries as Kent posted 168 in their allotted 20 overs. The run chase began well for Sussex with Philip Salt smashing a couple of crisp boundaries in the first over. However, it was Fred Klassen, the most successful of the Kent bowlers who got the wicket of Salt. The innings never really took off as wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals. Luke Wright, Ravi Bopara, Delray Rawlins and David Wiese couldn’t quite get going and was dismissed cheaply. Bopara was the top run-scorer from the four scoring a fluent 22 while Harrison Ward chipped in with 21. With the score reading 57/5 and then 89/6, it was all down to George Garton to see his team through. He took on the Kent bowlers and struck 4 fours and 3 sixes during his exceptional knock of 41 of just 23 deliveries. Until he was there, Sussex still had hope. His wicket at an untimely time proved to be the final nail in the coffin for them as they were eventually skittled out in the final over for 147 runs, handing Kent a comprehensive 21 runs victory. Brief Scores Kent- 168/8 in 20 overs (Daniel Bell-Drummond 82, Daren Stevens 47, Tymal Mills 3/33) Sussex 147 all-out in 19.1 overs (George Garton 41, Fred Klassen 4/17, Matt Milnes 3/22) Kent won by 21 runs
NED vs IRE: Stephan Myburgh, bowlers shine as the Netherlands win historic series against Ireland
It was a historic day in the history of Dutch cricket as the Netherlands defeated an ICC full member and Test status holder Ireland in the third ODI at Utrecht by six wickets, to not only win their first-ever ODI series against a full member but also earn crucial 10 points for the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. Stephan Myburgh, the Dutch opener was the hero of the game, who stood in all adversities and anchored the innings and the Netherlands’ tricky chase of 164. The left-handed batter made a composed 74 off 111 deliveries in an innings which included six fours and three huge sixes. It was in an attempt to go anti to what his inning had been till then, Mybugh missed a straight ball trying to slog-sweep the winning six. The scorecard read 158, only six runs away from the victory. It was Myburgh’s best-ever performance with the bat in ODI cricket, surpassing his previous best of 60 that came against Kenya in 2011 in The Hague. However, his wicket triggered a mini-collapse as in the span of the next four runs the orange brigade lost two more wickets that included their skipper Pieter Seelaar and Myburgh’s partner during the much needed 62 run partnership for the fifth wicket, Bas de Leede. de Leede got out for 66 balls 18 while Seelaar was removed for four runs. It took Logan Van Beek, who was also the key component with the ball earlier in the day, to hit the winning four. Andrew Balbirnie, the Irish captain won his first toss on the tour in the morning today and decided to bat first. His decision was not supported by the batsmen as the Netherlands struck thrice in the first 10 overs removing the heart and soul of the Irish batting with wickets of Paul Stirling, Kevin O’Brien and of the skipper Balbirnie himself. Vivian Kingma, who was playing his first game of the series was the chief destructor alongside Fred Klaassen. George Dockrell united with Harry Tector to steady the sheep and they did with their 89 runs stand for the fifth wicket, which came off 138 balls. But just when they thought of accelerating the run rate, van Beek struck twice in the span of 23 balls to remove both Dockrell and Tector. Post these two wickets, Simi Singh tried as much as he could but wasn’t really able to resurrect the men in green’s innings which ended at 163 in the 49th over. Tector was the top scorer with 58 off 100 balls. For the Netherlands, both Klaassen and van Beek took three wickets apiece while Timm van der Gugten took two wickets. While the 30-year-old van Beek was chosen Man of the Series for his all-around show with 55 runs and six wickets in the series, Myburgh was named Man of the Match. With this win, Netherlands have gained 20 points from three games and have reached the ninth position in the CWC Super League ahead of countries like South Africa, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Ireland. The CWC Super League acts as the qualifying tournament for the 2023 World Cup in India as the top seven nations in its standing plus hosts India would qualify directly for the World Cup, while the remaining five times would undergo a qualifying tournament to decide the last two teams for the 10 team show pice ODI event.
Netherlands ready for historic CWC Super League debut against Ireland; announce squad
The Cricket Netherlands welcomed back their county superstars in Timm van der Gugten, Fred Klaassen and Brandon Glover to the national side for the first time post the pandemic ridden year as they get ready to play their first-ever Cricket World Cup Super League series against arch-rivals Ireland. Announcing a 15 man squad, head coach Ryan Campbell said that he believes his team would do great in this historic series. “Our first appearance in the much talked about Super League is no doubt the most important page in the Dutch Cricket History book,” said Campbell. “We hope to open this chapter with a really competitive series against our great friends and adversaries Ireland,” added the former Hongkong international. While Gugten is coming off a successful season with Glamorgan having picked 13 wickets and scored 131 runs with a batting average of 26.2 in six county games, Klassen too featured in two games for Kent’s first XI. Brandon Glover also toiled hard in Northamptonshire’s 2nd XI this county season and Cambell believes that the experiences of these players will come in handy for the Dutch side. “We welcome back Timm van der Gugten, Fred Klaassen and Brandon Glover from county duties and I expect them to form a potent fast bowling combination with Logan van Beek and Vivian Kingma, whose form has been outstanding so far this season,” said the 49-year-old. Musa Nadeem Ahmed, who has been one of the top performers in the Dutch domestic circuit with six wickets and 232 runs in the Topklasse’ seven games so far, has also found a place in the 15. “I’m extremely pleased to add Musa Nadeem to our long list of recent debutants. His form in the Topklasse has been outstanding as well as his hard work throughout our long hiatus from International Cricket due to Covid,” Campbell said about the 23-year-old Pakistan born leggie. For the first time ever the matches of the Dutch cricket team would be broadcast live and in Dutch commentary on a commercial television channel. The three ODI’s will be broadcasted live by Ziggo Sport. The tour begins first of the three ODIs on June 2 at Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht.
