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 for the Dutch team. 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.
