That is it! Do join us on 25th of this month for the final match. That will begin at 1245 IST (0715 GMT). Join us for the build-up. Cheers!

Wesley Madhevere is the Player of the Match. He says it is his responsible to score runs and it doesn't matter at what position he bats. Reckons he is happy with the hat trick. Hopes to carry on with the performance and win the final game of the series.

Craig Ervine says they were looking for 300-mark but fall in the middle phase. Reckons he is looking forward to the next match and hopes to put on a good performance. Says the spinners, Wesley Madhevere and Sikandar Raza bought them back into the game.

Scott Edwards says their bowlers did well to keep them in the game. Adds it was a similar wicket to the first game, it stayed a bit low though. Reckons he told players to back themselves till the end.

...Presentation time...

Zimbabwe just weren't at their best with the ball. However, it was Sikandar Raza and Wesley Madhevere who got them back in the game with the latter taking a hat-trick. The two took three each and pushed Netherlands onto the back foot. The pacers kept their cool towards the end but the two spinners were the stars.

Netherlands though will be disappointed with their effort. They were in control of this chase for most of the time. They were cruising at 197 for 2 but once Max O'Dowd fell, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. The middle order did not click. Scott Edwards tried his best but kept losing partners. Once he fell, the game seemed over. The last wicket though took it to the last ball but Zimbabwe kept their cool and emerged on top.

What a game, for the second time in a row, we witnessed a cracker between these two. This time it is the home side which has come out on top and they have leveled the series.
