Commentry
That is it from this game then! Action from the tri-series continues on the 20th. It is Ireland taking on Scotland. That game will begin at 2030 IST (1500 GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care!
Mark Adair has been given the MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD!
Ireland were quite good with the ball to begin with, they did not let Netherlands score freely and also took two wickets. Bas de Leede and Max O'Dowd though batted really well and turned the game towards their side. Fionn Hand and Curtis Campher though bowled very wel in the middle overs. They got crucial wickets at crucial times and pushed the Dutch onto the back foot totally. Tim Pringle though came to the fore and from an impossible situation got his side back into the game. It came down to three needed from the last ball but Mark Adair came out on top against Tim Pringle!
What a game of cricket! Wow! IT came down to the last ball in the end but it was Mark Adair who kept his nerve and help his side get over the line. However, this game swung from one way to the other throughout! First, it was Netherlands who bossed with the ball as they had Ireland 6 down for below 100. Mark Adair and Gareth Delany fought back and took them to a respectable score.
