| 1.3 : 1.3: C Ackermann to G Munsey, FOUR! Up and over! Munsey gets down on one knee and paddle scoops this one over the short fine leg fielder for a boundary. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: C Ackermann to G Munsey, OUT! TIMBER! Munsey departs and Netherlands draw first blood! Ackermann darts one just outside off, angling into the batter. Munsey tries to heave this over mid-wicket but the ball sneaks through between bat and pad and crashes into the off pole. |
| 2.4: van der Gugten to K Coetzer, FOUR! Short and wide outside off, Coetzer rocks onto his back foot and cuts this one through backward point for a boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: B Glover to M Cross, EDGED AND FOUR! Full ball outside off, Cross looks to smash it over covers but gets a thick outside edge on it. The ball goes off the edge towards the third man fence for a boundary. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: B Glover to M Cross, FOUR! Gets it off the middle this time! Full and on leg, Cross gets on the front foot and plays a beautiful drive through mid on for a boundary. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: van Meekeren to K Coetzer, FOUR! Wide outside off, Coetzer slashes it through cover-point and the ball trudges into the fence. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: C Ackermann to M Cross, FOUR! Down the leg side, Cross goes down on one knee and paddles it towards fine leg for a boundary. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: C Ackermann to M Cross, SIX! Floated on middle and off, Cross this time gets down on one knee and slog sweeps this one over mid-wicket for a maximum. What a shot! |
| 5.5 : 5.5: C Ackermann to M Cross, FOUR! What an over this is turning out to be for Scotland! On the pads, Cross flicks this one through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: van der Merwe to K Coetzer, FOUR! Full and floated on the leg pole, Coetzer lofts this one over the mid on fielder and the ball races to the fence. |
| 7.3: P Seelaar to K Coetzer, OUT! CAUGHT! Tim van der Gugten takes the catch. A much-needed wicket for Netherlands this. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: B Glover to C MacLeod, OUT! LBW! There is clear inside edge on this one. On a good length on middle, MacLeod looks to flick but gets hit on the pads. The bowler appeals for lbw but the umpire raises his finger immediately. MacLeod is clearly disappointed with this decision. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: B Glover to R Berrington, SIX! That is huge! Full on middle, Berrington lofts it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 13.3: van der Merwe to R Berrington, OUT! CAUGHT! Berrington is a goner! Berrington looks to make room and go big over the off side, van der Merwe is clever though and he follows him. Berrington goes through with his shot and ends up chipping it towards long on where van der Gugten takes the catch. |
| 14.3: van Meekeren to M Cross, FOUR! Sliced and a boundary! Van Meekeren ends up bowling a full toss and pays the price. Cross opens the face at the very end and slices it through backward point. Third man is up and it races away to the fence. Welcome boundary. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: van Meekeren to M Leask, OUT! In the air... that is an excellent catch by Cooper! Leask was swinging from the time he came out and he perishes as he looks to do so again. This time he looks to flat-bat a short slower one down towards long on. The bounce does him in though. It hits the higher part of the bat and goes down towards long on. Cooper runs in, dives forward and takes a very good catch. Half the side back in the hut and the score is two short of 100. Scotland in trouble here. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: P Seelaar to C Wallace, OUT! Plumb in front! Another one bites the dust! Wallace once again tries to sweep but picks the wrong ball. This is very full and on middle, Wallace misses the shot and is hit in front on the pad. An appeal and up goes the finger. That is also the 50th T20I wicket for Seelaar. First Dutch international to do so. An excellent 16th over by for Netherlands. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: van der Gugten to M Cross, OUT! Scotland are falling like a pack of cards here! Another top, top catch. This time it is Visee. He has taken that inches above the ground. The well set Cross is out of here. Slightly shorter and around off, Cross makes room and looks to guide it in the gap between backward point and short third man. The ball goes off the outside edge, it goes low towards short third man where Visee takes it. Scotland losing their way completely. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: van der Gugten to J Davey, FOUR! Nicely played! Deft touch! Shortish and width on offer. Davey waits for it, plays it late and guides it past short third man for a boundary. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: van der Merwe to S Sharif, FOUR! Length ball outside off, Sharif opens the face of the bat and guides this one through the gap at third man for a boundary. Good over for Scotland this as 9 runs came off it. |
| 18.6: van Meekeren to J Davey, FOUR! Much-needed! A good end to the over for Scotland! This is angled into the body, Davey heaves it in the gap in the mid-wicket region for a boundary. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: B Glover to S Sharif, OUT! Caught behind! Superb bowling this from Glover. Sharif is looking to make room again, Glover this time fires it outside off. Sharif reaches out to the ball to drive but all he can manage is an outside edge which goes to the keeper who takes it with ease. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: S Sharif to T Visee, OUT! Visee is out of here! Length ball, closer to the off pole, Visse looks to power it over the long off fence but mistimes the shot. The ball goes high in the air. Davey positions himself under the ball at mid off and pouch it easily. Breakthrough early on for Scotland. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: J Davey to Ben Cooper, FOUR! Nicely done! Too straight from Davey. A length ball on the pads, Cooper just guides this angled ball fine down the leg side for a boundary. First of the innings. |
| 3.2: A Evans to Max O'Dowd, OUT! Caught! Evans strikes! He has not offered any room to the batsman. O'Dowd has to create room for himself. This is another ball on middle, O'Dowd looks to power it over the mid on fielder but mistimes the shot. The ball goes straight in the hands of MacLeod. |
| 4.2: S Sharif to Ben Cooper, FOUR! Lovely timing on that one. A good length ball on middle, Cooper goes just a hint back to make room and cream the cover drive. The ball races to the fence in a jiffy. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: S Sharif to Ben Cooper, SIX! First one of the innings and Cooper needs to hit a few of those if he wants to take his side on the top of the table. He gets a full ball in the slot. Cooper clears his front leg and lofts it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: J Davey to Ben Cooper, OUT! Davey strikes now! Chances of Netherlands making the top of the table looks very bleak with wickets tumbling like this. This time Cooper is the man who departs. Davey bowls a length ball outside off, Cooper reaches out to drive but gets a thick outside edge and goes straight into the mitts of the keeper. Cross behind the wicket does not make any mistake. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: J Davey to ten Doeschate, FOUR! Hammered away! Short ball on middle, ten Doeschate positions himself well and plays the pull shot to perfection. The ball races to the fence. |
| 6.5: R Berrington to ten Doeschate, FOUR! Short ball around off, ten Doeschate pulls it to deep mid-wicket fence this time. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: A Evans to ten Doeschate, SIX! Excellent hit. Evans bowls a fuller one on Ryan's pads, he just flicks it up and over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: A Evans to ten Doeschate, SIX! Second one of the over. ten Doeschate has shown here that experience counts. He pulls this shorter one iver mid-wicket for a single. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: R Berrington to C Ackermann, SIX! Ackermann is into the action now! Netherlands are dealing in sixes at the moment. They are still eying that position at the top of the table. A full ball outside off, Ackermann lofts it way over the long off fence. The ball is lost in the stands now. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: R Berrington to C Ackermann, FOUR! Superb batting this from Ackermann. Shortish length ball on middle, Berrington pulls it nicely and gets a boundary this time. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: R Berrington to C Ackermann, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries. Innovative shot that one. Full length ball around off and middle, Ackermann gets in position and scoops it over the keeper's head and into the fine leg fence. |
| 10.1 : 10.1: M Watt to C Ackermann, OUT! Timber! Watt strikes! Ackermann is in search of quick runs. Watt bowls a ball slower through the air around off and middle, Ackermann looks to slog it away but misses to get any bat on ball. The ball goes behind and shatters the woodwork behind. PNG players in the stands are happy seeing this. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: M Watt to van der Merwe, OUT! Van der Merwe is out of here now! Full ball on middle, van der Merwe comes down the track to deposit the ball over the deep mid-wicket fence but can only take the ball in the hands of MacLeod at deep mid-wicket. Easy catch there for him. Can the Scots turns this game around? |
| 12.3 : 12.3: M Watt to ten Doeschate, OUT! Stumped! Guess what, it is PNG who are pumped more than the Scotts. Why? Because they are going to Australia for sure to play the T20 World Cup. A ball around off, ten Doeschate looks to slam it over long on but the ball turns away a hint to miss the bat. Cross behind the wicket pouches the ball and whips the bails off in a flash. He appeals and the umpire agrees. |
