Netherlands 374 for 9 (Nidamanuru 111, Edwards 67, Chase 3-77) tied with West Indies 374 for 6 (Pooran 104*, King 76, Zulfiqar 2-43). Netherlands won the Super Over
“I can’t really explain it,” Player of the Match Logan van Beek said after the match. Netherlands, chasing 375 against West Indies, were deep in trouble with another 205 required from the remaining 125 balls with only six wickets remaining. Who would have known that they would end up getting 204 of those in a frenetic finish which would force the game into a Super Over?
And if you thought that was enough madness for the day, van Beek bashed 4, 6, 4, 6, 6, 4 to hammer the most runs ever in a one-over eliminator. In reply, West Indies lost two wickets for eight runs, and that was it. As a result, Netherlands took two vital points into the Super Sixes of the World Cup Qualifier, leaving West Indies with nothing to carry forward after being beaten by both Netherlands and Zimbabwe. Two-time World Cup champions are now teetering, hoping to make it to the World Cup proper in India.
