The Netherlands has won the first T20I against Scotland. Scotland was unable to surpass the Dutch score;?The end result was 167-126.
Max O'Dowd and Michael Levitt opened the innings for the Netherlands. O'Dowd had some trouble with his timing and was dropped off a skier around 10. Levitt, in turn, got away with a chance at a personal score of 35.
The total had now risen after 49/0 after the first Powerplay.
On 68 the first wicket fell when Levitt (43 out of 31) missed a straight ball from Gavin Main. At 87, O'Dowd (a run a ball 30) became the next victim. Vikram Singh (a fantastic 39 off 18 balls including three sixes) and Sybrand Engelbrecht made a partnership of 46 runs for the fourth wicket. 167 was the solid end result.
Already in the second over, Viv Kingma forced Michael Jones to hit the ball into the hands of the mid off. Logan van Beek cleaned Hairs, and Viv Kingma got Charlie Tear caught behind (16/3).
The tall left arm spinner Daniel Doram took over from Van Beek. He took the important wicket of Berrington (39) and then caught a high top edge from Leask. It was 93/5/16 and the Netherlands was on top.
Scotland now had to make almost two runs per ball. Some boundaries followed, but also a skier which was held by Levitt.
Matthew Cross batted brilliantly, but received insufficient support from his teammates. Almost all bowling changes had the desired effect, especially when Van Beek bowled top scorer Cross for 49.
When Viv Kingma took his fourth wicket, Scotland was all out for 126. Logan van Beek took 3-18.
