195 (50.0/50)
194/9 (50.0/50)
Netherlands beat Ireland by 1 run
That is it from this game! Netharlands win their first game of the World Cup Super Legaue and get their first win over Ireland since 2007. Ireland will be windering how they lost this game but they will look to comeback stronger in the next ODI. Join us for 4th June at 1020 local (0820 GMT). Till then goodbye
Netherlands skipper, Pieter Seelaar, says that this game had a bit of everything and he said earlier that it was going to be a tough fight. Adds that they made a comeback when they got the wicket of Stirling and the pacers did a very good job. Adds that he gave a go with him bowling the 47th over and it worked. Tells that they did not  miss often and they were always in the game.
Ireland skipper, Andy Balbirnie says that it was a tricky wicket. Tells that they could not get anyone to score barring Stirling. Balbirnie says Little bowled well and tells all the bowlers did well tpo restrict them to a score they felt they should have chased. Tells they need to back Stirling and says that he is their star player. Hopes they can put it right in the next game. Balbirnie feels it is going to be like an old school ODI series.
Timm van der Gugten is the Player of the Match! Timm says it was a very tight game and they were happy at the break. tells it was a hard wicket to start on and tells that they lost their way in the middle. Tells getting a partnership was crucial and glad he could do that with van Beek. Timm van der Gugten  says that they always believed and felt they always had a shout to win.
Earlier in the day, after being asked to field, Ireland had Netherlands reeling at 5 down for below 100. However, the lower-order contributed and took them up to just below 200 which in the end proved to be enough.
Chasing a small total, Ireland just needed a couple of partnerships but their batters struggled. Only Stirling from the top order looked comfortable but the rest struggled. They were down and out when they were five down but Simi Singh and the opener added a fifty plus stand to take them back on top. Stirling then fell but Singh continued. He was there till the last over but could not take his side over the line.
Overall it was a brilliant bowling effort. The new ball bowlers did well. Guten and Glover were also decent in the middle overs. Seelaar also impressed whenever needed. It did seem like the overs from Zulfiqur might cost them but the others made up for it and have edged the game.
The pacers took on from there and did brilliantly, hit the pitch hard and gave nothing away. The pressure kept on building. Klaassen bowled a brilliantly last over, saving 12 from the last and van Beek defended it exceptionally.
Have to say, it was that one over from their skipper, the 47th over is what won them the game. They needed below 20 in 4 and they had two batters who had got their eye in but two wickets and just the 2 runs changed the game completely.
WHAT A WIN! WHAT A GAME! This swung like a pendulum from one side to the another and in the end, it is the home side which has come out on top.

Play and a miss! Josh Little tries to scoop but he misses and Netherlands have managed to hold onto their nerves. Full outside off, Little shuffles inside his crease and paddle it. He misses. Little is disappointed but Young calls for the run. Edwards keeps his calm. He runs towards the stumps with the ball in hand. NETHERLANDS WIN BY 1 RUN!

Logan van Beek To Simi Singh OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! Simi Singh's bat is in the air and he has to walk back! Is it the final nail in this chase? Slower ball which is back of a length around leg. Simi hits it through mid-wicket. He calls for two which is always going to be a risk. The throw at the keeper's end is a bit wide. Edwards does well to gather and whips the bails. The square leg umpire takes it upstairs. Replays find Simi Singh has failed to ground his bat and his willow is in the air when Edwards has whipped the bails.
Run out appeal and it is taken upstairs. Singh seems home. His bat is in the air though and the red light has been flashed. Is that the game for Netherlands?

Pieter Seelaar To Andy McBrine OUT!
OUT! LBW! Umpire's call on wickets hitting and the skipper's gamble to bring himself on has worked wonders. A drifter which pitches on middle and skids on. McBrine looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pad. An appeal follows and the umpire takes his time before raising his finger. McBrine takes the review straightaway. Replay rolls in and Ultra Edge shows no involvement of bat. Time for the Ball Tracker and it shows the ball to be kissing the leg pole. Kissing enough to send McBrine back to the pavilion but save the review.
A huge appeal and up goes the finger. Is that sliding down leg? The batter has reviewed. We will find out.

Fuller and on middle, Singh drives, it goes between the legs of the non-striker and towards mid on.
DRINKS! Ireland have been in trouble for the most of this innings but this stand between Simi Singh and Paul Stirling has put Ireland in a good position.  The tourists need another 72 from 96 balls. The only way Netherlands can defend this is by getting wickets. The wicket of Stirling holds the key here. Timm van der Gugten to bowl post the break.

OUT! LBW! The review is not enough to save Tector as he departs for a duck and Ireland are in big, big trouble here. They are three down with very little on the board. Netherlands are spitting venom and they look pumped for it. Good length delivery pitching on middle and off, it nips back in. Tector looks to defend but misses and gets hit on the front pad. A huge appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Stirling and Tector have a chat and Tector then signals the 'T'. Replay rolls in and Ball Tracker shows that the ball to be hitting the stumps on umpire's call. Ireland retain their review but Tector has to walk back to the pavilion.
