9:48 PM IST | Ovaise: West Indies have won the match by 5 wickets and have taken a 2-0 lead in this 3 match ODI series being played at Amstelveen. King and Carty rescued the innings brilliantly and took them past the finishing line in style at the VRA!
Let’s have a recap, Netherlands won the toss and opted to bat first on a pitch that looked very dry. Vikramjit Singh and Max O’Dowd walked out to open the batting for the hosts. Alzari Joseph and Kyle Mayers opened the bowling and were slightly wayward which allowed the Dutch openers to get their eye in. Vikramjit continued from where he left off in the previous game, he was very impressive but again fell short of his fifty. He walked back to the dressing room after scoring 45 off 58, including five boundaries and a six. Spinners were brought into the attaching and just like the first ODI they kept the run-scoring tight and applied a lot of pressure which resulted in wickets.
The Dutch lost wickets at regular intervals in the middle overs, and the Spinners didn't allow the batters to settle down. Bas de Leede struggled during his stay at the crease, and eventually got clean bowled in trying to play a release shot. The middle and lower order were poor with the bat yet again and did not capitalize on the platform set by their openers. Scott Edwards, the wicket-keeper batter who came at number three, was the only one who looked comfortable and took his team to a formidable totally of 214 before perishing in trying to up the ante. Akeal Hosein finished with his best-ever ODI figures of 10-0-39-4.
The centurion from the last match walked out to bat along with Shamarh Brooks, the openers looked solid against Logan van Beek and Ryan Klein who opened the bowling for Dutch. The visitors were on 17 for no loss after 5 over but on the first ball of the 6th over, Logan Van Beek dismissed Brooks with a brilliant delivery. Nkrumah Boner joined Shai Hope in the middle and together they stitched a short partnership in which the visitors looked like taking the game away from the home team but the Dutch struck back and Bas de Leede scalped his second wicket and Netherlands has crawled back into the game.
The visitors were 3 down for 48 when Skipper Nicolas Pooran walked out into the middle, it was a struggle for the man who has just returned from the IPL, he was sent walking back to the dressing room by the debutant Shariz Ahmad. The youngster got a wicket off the 2nd ball he has ever bowled, note that he hasn’t played a List A game yet, this is his first-ever outing and to come up with such a performance was a delight to watch. The visitors were in a spot of bother but Brandon King and Keacy Carty steadied the ship and stitched up a magnificent partnership to take their side past the finishing line!! The Netherland bowlers toiled hard but were unable to get the breakthrough. It was a quite comfortable chase with a hick-up or two in the middle, West Indies have won the series 2-0 with a match still to be played!! The weather was brilliant today and we didn't have any interruptions, hoping for the same in the next game as well. Join us for the 3rd ODI on June 4th (Saturday)
