The Hindu
Bas de Leede’s all-round effort — he took 2 wickets conceding 18 runs and scored 30 not out of as many balls — helped the Dutch register their second straight win in the group stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022
Netherlands made heavy weather of a small target before eking out a five-wicket win over Namibia to register their second consecutive victory in the T20 World Cup here on Tuesday.
Netherlands dished out a fine bowling effort to restrict Namibia to 121 for six before taking the game deep. They completed the task in 19.3 overs in their first round Group A match.
Sitting pretty at 92 for one, Netherlands made a harakiri towards the end to allow Namibia to make a comeback.
Vikramjit Singh (39 off 31) and Max O'Dowd (35 off 35) got Netherlands' chase off to a blazing start, sharing 59 runs for the opening wicket.
However, from 92 for one, Netherlands slumped to 101 for four, thanks to twin blows from left-arm pacer Johannes Jonathan Smit (2/24) in the 16th over.
Skipper Scott Edwards did no good and perished in the next over.
But Bas de Leede (30 not out off 30) held his nerves, and in the company of Tim Pringle (8 not out), saw Netherlands home with a 20-run stand.
