We are back for the chase. The Netherlands players are out in the middle. Shamarh Brooks and Shai Hope are the openers for West Indies! Ryan Klein to start with the ball.
...The Chase...
Right then! West Indies have a serious chance to seal the series as the score is well under their control and they would have taken it any day. The Dutch bowlers showed good signs in the first match but they have to bowl out of their skins to test the Men in Maroon here. Stay tuned as the chase is coming up shortly.
West Indies started brightly and got ample opportunities but didn't grab them. They lost the plot after that but once the spinners were included in the attack, things started to tilt the visitors' way as wickets started falling and runs were hard to buy. 6 wickets went to spinners' way as they ran riot through the Netherlands batting line up. Akeal Hosein ended with four while Alzarri Joseph was impressive as well. He ended with a brace. Nicholas Pooran will be happy that their fielding got better after dropping some early catches.
Apart from the top three, no one from the Dutch side managed to get a double-digit score. Netherlands will be disappointed with their batting. The openers were given life early on and took the opportunity with both hands and gave a perfect start and were looking well on course for a big total. Singh fell short of his fifty but his crime-partner Max O'Dowd did reach his fifty. Both perished in a short span but after giving a good start. Scott Edwards looked good but he had no one on the other side to bond with. He brought his fifty but at a crawling pace and Netherlands have finished well below the par score here.
A fantastic bowling performance from West Indies. Netherlands were 101/1 at one moment and looked all set for a big total but an incredible downfall sees them getting bundled out without playing the full quota. A fact for all, the last boundary in this innings came in the 31st over. That just tells how impressive West Indies were.
OUT! CAUGHT! Scott Edwards holes out and Netherlands have been bowled out for 214! A slower full delivery on off. The ball is in the slot for Scott Edwards to go big and he looks to slog-sweep it. However, he gets the elevation but not the distance required. Kyle Mayers at deep mid-wicket settles under it and takes the catch. Good innings from Scott Edwards but they needed someone to support him.
On a length, on off. Shariz Ahmad dabs it towards point and takes a quick single.
A fullish delivery, around off. Scott Edwards gets across and looks to heave it towards the leg side. He misses and the ball hits his pads and goes towards the off side. A leg bye taken.
Shariz Ahmad is the last man in.
