Commentary
  • That's all from this game. Netherlands have consolidated their position in the points table. Bermuda, on the other hand, end their sorry campaign with a massive defeat. Do join us in a short while at 1930 local (1530 GMT) for the match between Namibia and Singapore. Cheers!
  • Netherlands skipper, Pieter Seelaar says that winning the game was more important than the net run rate. Tells that Max O'Dowd and Ben Cooper batted superbly and then Ryan ten Doeschate and Colin Ackermann provided the desired finish. Adds that against PNG they knew what went wrong and praises his team for bouncing back and playing like the way they did today. Mentions that he's watching the matches of other group as well and states that the margin of error is very low. He's feeling confident before facing Scotland and tells that they are fully prepared for the big game on Sunday.
  • Bermuda skipper, Rodney Trott says that it was a great experience for his players in spite of not winning any match. Tells that the other teams deal with the pressure a little better than them. Hopes to go back to the drawing board and come back as a better team. Thanks all the fans who came from Bermuda to support them.
  • Colin Ackermann is the Man of the Match for his all-round effort! Says that the openers set it up beautifully for him. Adds that they wanted to win the game first and foremost and they were not thinking about the net run rate. Opines that it was a good strip for batting as the ball was coming on quicker to the bat as compared to the ICC Academy ground.
  • It was a clinical performance from Netherlands to bounce back from their defeat in the last match. The openers provided a powerful start and then the batsmen who followed capitalized to take the score past the 200-run mark. The bowlers also put up an excellent show and never allowed any sniff to Bermuda. They kept on picking wickets at regular intervals and achieved a big win. Everyone executed the plan superbly and Paul van Meekeren with a 3-wicket haul was the pick of the bowlers.
  • A listless batting performance by Bermuda and they close their campaign with a hefty defeat. The writing was on the wall once the Dutch team posted a total above 200. A good start was the need of the hour for Bermuda but it never came and they started to crumble right from the beginning. There wasn't much fight offered, apart from a cameo by Kamau Leverock, as the Orange team bowled tidily and achieved a massive win which will boost their net run-rate.

    van Meekeren to G O'Brien, No hat-trick! Paul goes for another yorker but it's not in the line of the stumps. O'Brien fails to flick and is hit on the pads. Fantastic over and spell from Paul van Meekeren, 4-0-26-3!

    van Meekeren to D Brangman, OUT! Corker of a yorker and the leg stump goes for a walk. Van Meekeren is on a hat-trick. Terrific delivery. He nails his yorker and it's too hot to handle for Brangman. By the time his bat comes down, the ball has gone through to uproot the leg pole. Paul has a smile on his face after picking his third wicket of the match.
  • Rodney Trott is the new batsman in.
