GEELONG (Australia): Bowlers led by Bas de Leede won the The Netherlands Defeated the United Arab Emirates by three wickets in a tense, low-scoring match of the 2020 World Cup on Sunday.
Skipper Scott Edwards stood unbeaten on 16 as the Netherlands chased down their target of 112 with one ball to spare in the second match of the day in Geelong.
UAE pace spearhead Junaid Siddique returned figures of 3-24 and troubled the opposition with two wickets in the 14th over, but Edwards held his nerve to see his side win in the first round.
De Leede, a versatile player who is a pace bowler, led the charge with his three wickets to restrict the UAE to 111-8.
Electing to bat, the UAE batsmen survived the disciplined Dutch attack despite scoring slowly as they reached 85-2 in 15 overs with Muhammad Waseem making 41 before falling to opener Fred Klaassen.
The wicket triggered a collapse as De Leede struck three times in the 19th over as the UAE slipped from 91-2 and scored just 26 runs in the last five overs.
in reply, Vikramjit Singh got out for 10 but Max O’Dowd hit 23 off 18 balls to get the team off to a flying start.
Junaid bowled O’Dowd in the sixth over and the Netherlands suddenly lost wickets in a heap to lose control of their modest chase.
Junaid struck twice in the space of three balls, including Tom Cooper (8) and Roelof van der Merwe (0) and almost had a third when skipper Chundangapoyil Rizwan dropped a catch at cover.
The spill was costly as Edwards and Tim Pringle scored 27 runs and sneaked home in the last over.
