| 3.5 : 3.5: Logan van Beek to Muhammad Waseem, SIX! All the way! Will that break the shackles? That was very much-needed. This is short and on the pads, Waseem helps it on its way over the square leg fence. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Logan van Beek to Muhammad Waseem, SIX! One brings two and that is exactly the chase here! This is even better! This is full and on middle, Waseem manages to whip it and it sails over the mid-wicket fence. Could this be the over which shifts the momentum? 13 from it. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Bas de Leede to Chirag Suri, FOUR! That is wonderful placement! Suri makes room. This is fuller and around off, Suri guides it past point and into the fence. Will this get Suri going now? |
| 6.5: Roelof van der Merwe to Kashif Daud, SIX! Just over the fielder! Maybe if the fielder was right at the ropes, it would have been an easy catch. This is shorter and on middle, Daud pulls, it goes more off the splice and it goes towards mid-wicket. The fielder goes back and leaps but it goes over. Off the mark in style. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: Roelof van der Merwe to Chirag Suri, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Chirag Suri falls and Netherlands draw first blood! That is a brilliant catch from Scott Edwards! Just outstanding! This is on middle, it holds its line. Suri looks to play the switch hit but it goes off the glove and Scott Edwards takes a sharp catch. Chirag Suri's struggle comes to an end. |
| 10.3: Tim Pringle to Kashif Daud, OUT! TIMBER! Tim Pringle strikes! The break works for Netherlands and this is just what United Arab Emirates did not want! This is full and on off, Daud looks to flick it on the leg side but he misses. He is done in by the dip on that delivery, it sneaks under the bat and hits the off pole. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: Bas de Leede to Muhammad Waseem, FOUR! Welcome, welcome boundary! This is short and outside off, Waseem slashes, this flies off the outside edge and goes down to the third man fence. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Fred Klaassen to Muhammad Waseem, OUT! TAKEN! The well-set Muhammad Waseem is out of here! Just as he looked to accelerate, he falls! Shorter and angled into the body. Waseem looks to pull, it goes off the top edge to the right of long on. Tim Pringle runs there and takes a good catch. He had just been moved behind and that works. United Arab Emirates in trouble now. They needed Waseem to stay longer. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Paul van Meekeren to Vriitya Aravind, OUT! RUN OUT! Just nothing going right at the moment for United Arab Emirates! They are unable to find the boundaries and are losing wickets too! This is fuller and outside off, it is lofted over covers. The batters take one. Zawar Farid wants another one and takes off. He is halfway down the wicket. Colin Ackermann fires it to the keeper who whips the bails off. It is taken upstairs and replays shwo that Zawar Farid is short. He could have put the div |
| 17.6 : 17.6: Paul van Meekeren to Basil Hameed, TOP EDGE AND FOUR! That is a welcome, welcome boundary! United Arab Emirates won't mind how they come as long as they do! Short and outside off, Hameed slashes, it goes off the top edge and over the keeper for a boundary. The last ball spoils the over a little. Still a good one at this stage of the game. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: Bas de Leede to Basil Hameed, OUT! CAUGHT! Second wicket in the over and United Arab Emirates slip further! Fuller and outside off, Hameed looks to go over cover but it goes off the toe-end and it is a simple catch to the fielder there. Roelof van der Merwe makes no mistake. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Bas de Leede to Vriitya Aravind, OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! A beautiful slower one. Fuller and on middle, Aravind is way too early in his flick shot. He only manages to hit it up in the air and it is taken by Fred Klaassen! |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Bas de Leede to Chundangapoyil Rizwan, OUT! TIMBER! Third in the over and UAE are falling like a pack of cards now! Full and on the pads, Chundangapoyil Rizwan looks to flick it on the leg side but misses and it hits the leg pole. Maybe Rizwan was not expecting that. He was late in getting his bat down. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Fred Klaassen to Aayan Khan, OUT! CAUGHT AT MID OFF! The timing just has not been there! Yet again when a batter looks for the big shot, he falls! Length and on off, Khan looks to hit it over mid off but mistimes it to Tom Cooper there. |
| 0.3 : 0.3: Junaid Siddique to Vikramjit Singh, FOUR! Thumped away and that is the first boundary of the chase! Short and outside off, this is cut past point and this races away to the fence. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: Junaid Siddique to Vikramjit Singh, FOUR! Two in a row! Outside off, this is hammered through the poitn region for yet another boundary. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Basil Hameed to Vikramjit Singh, OUT! TIMBER! An early wicket for UAE and it is that of the dangerous Vikramjit Singh! On middle, Singh looks to heave it across the line but misses and it hits the stumps. They need a couple more quickly now. Good decision to give the spinner the second over. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: Basil Hameed to Max O'Dowd, SIX! That is a massive hit! Shorter and on middle, Max O'Dowd stays back and pulls it well over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. That is a massive hit. Another big over for Netherlands and they are off to a flier despite losing a wicket. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Aayan Khan to Max O'Dowd, FOUR! Really good shot! Max O'Dowd wants to finish this early! He moves right across, this is a full toss outside off. Max sweeps it towards deep square leg for a boundary. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Karthik Meiyappan to Max O'Dowd, FOUR! Makes room! Fuller and on off, Max O'Dowd hits it hard through covers for a boundary. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: Karthik Meiyappan to Max O'Dowd, FOUR! Finds the gap again! Plays the sweep to great use again! Moves across, this is fuller outside off, it is swept behind square on the leg side for another boundary. Dealing in boundaries at the moment. |
| 5.4: Junaid Siddique to Max O'Dowd, OUT! TIMBER! That has stayed low, very low actually! Junaid Siddique gets the breakthrough for his side. United Arab Emirates keeping themselves in it by just! Shorter and on middle, Max looks to heave it on the leg side but this one stays low and also comes slow off the surface. Max O'Dowd is through the shot. He misses and it hits the stumps. United Arab Emirates now need to apply pressure, it is not easy for a new batter to come in and score easily on this |
| 7.1 : 7.1: Zawar Farid to Colin Ackermann, FOUR! That will release the pressure somewhat! Outside off, this is carved over point and it races away to the fence. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Zawar Farid to Bas de Leede, FOUR! This is not a good over so far by Zawar Farid! He needed to keep the pressure on. Yet another poor delivery. Short and outside off, this is cut past point and it races away to the fence. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Karthik Meiyappan to Bas de Leede, OUT! TAKEN! It indeed is a clean catch! That is a top catch from Chundangapoyil Rizwan and just as the game was being taken away, United Arab Emirates strike! This is tossed up outside off, Bas de Leede steps out and hits it low and hard towards cover. Rizwan takes it inches above the ground. The umpires take it upstairs to check. After a few replay, it is ruled in the favor of the bowler. 53 more needed. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Aayan Khan to Colin Ackermann, OUT! TAKEN! Number 4 down. Dutch still need over 40! This is slower and outside off, Colin Ackermann looks to sweep, he looks to drag it from outside off and hence, it goes off the top edge as he was not in control. Straight to the fielder at deep square leg. Junaid Siddique makes no mistake. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: Junaid Siddique to Tom Cooper, OUT! THE FINGER IS RAISED! That is plumb and half the side is back in the hut for Netherlands! Game on? We do feel so. This is a lovely delivery. It is on a length and around off, it lands and jags back in sharply. Cooper fails to put bat on ball and is hit on the pad. A huge shout and the finger is raised. Good decision to not review it. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Junaid Siddique to Roelof van der Merwe, OUT! TIMBER! Another one bites the dust! Two in the over and Junaid Siddique has got his side back into the game! What a delivery that is. Stunning! This is full, it tails back in from outside off. Roelof van der Merwe plants his front foot way too across and then tries to flick but misses. It hits the pad and then the stumps. UAE are into the bowling all-rounders now. They will really feel they have a chance now. |
| 18.3: Zahoor Khan to Tim Pringle, OUT! PLAYS IT ON! Once again, just as the game seemed like it is drifting away, United Arab Emirates strike! Zahoor Khan does the trick. As we said, fuller length is the ideal one on this wicket and Zahoor Khan bowls it there. On off. Tim Pringle looks to drive but with no foot movement. It goes off the inside edge and onto the stumps. 9 in 9 now. |
