Netherlands snatched a thrilling final ball victory over host nation England and justified the expert’s opinion, that there is no room for favourites in this short and capricious format of the game.

It sounded that Dutch captain committed a serious blunder, by sending England to bat, when they were romping with a century opening stand within eleven over. Both Ravi Bopara and Luke wright quelled any challenge by IPL star Dirk Nannes, where rest of the bowlers never created any doubts in their cortex.

Ravi Bopara eventually got out , when he looked well settled for his forty six runs but Luke Wright was not in any mood to relent, where he grafted boundaries, but he dint get any able support from the rest of batsmen, as Shah, Morgan departed without much trouble to the bowlers.

Luke Wright eventually got out in the end but England batsmen failed giving the killer punch in the end, where they made mere sixty runs in the last nine overs and did not contrive one big over in the end, which badly hurt them in the final outcome of the match.

Netherlands openers were set the considerable target of one sixty runs , but lost an early wicket  but Reekers, six foot four inches tall batsmen showed that their ‘ minnows tag’ is only perception of others but not in his mind, where he hit two sixes, to  show that they are not going to extradite without any fight.

But Reekers got out, when he looked ominous in his twenty runs to Broad, but it gave the opportunity to take notice of Grooth, who played as if he had loads of international experience, timing the ball and having considerable measure of the bowlers.

He along  with Borren, played memorably well to instil the belief that they can not only challenge the biggies like England but even beat them, but the occasion got big on Grooth, where he failed to spot a slower delivery of Paul Colingwood gifting  away his wicket for a well made forty nine runs.

Intermittent rain and also passionate Dutch fans, where it was speculated around twelve thousand Dutch fans thronged, into the stadium to have a fiesta, where the match promised to go down the wire.

It came to  Doeschate and Schiferli to take Dutch home, but that few inches looked like a million of miles, where pressure started to tell on them. Both were given plenty of reprieves, where Doeschate was dropped in the boundary where Schiferli should have run – out more than three times.

Struat Broad, who was handed over the final over, when they needed seven runs out of six balls and he bowled a length , which was hostile to slog at the end over, but he failed to contrive three run – outs and to grasp a catch and further gifted a over throw for  Dutch to hand over a victory to them in final ball.
