Some defeats are never accepted. As the Netherlands lost against Zimbabwe yesterday. A one run loss is really painful. But the result of the game could not be like this. Because the middle order to lower order batsmen were not able to sustain the game in the way that the Dutch first row batsmen were starting. Tom Cooper's run out knocked the Netherlands out of the match. But before he was out, the Netherlands had a very good score. Had the middle-order batsmen provided a bit of support after his dismissal, the match would have gone in the Netherlands' favour.
Zimbabwe came back strongly into the game when two consecutive Dutch batsmen made their way to the pavilion for golden ducks. Congratulations Zimbabwe.
Cricket is a game of surprises and shocking results same happened in this match as first Netherlands were at the top and this was looking another easy win for them but in dead overs Sikandar Raza and Wessly Madhevere done impressive job for their team and won this match by just one run which is surely amazing win for them after losing first match narrowly.
But here Netherlands doing good job against team like Zimbabwe which is having many ups and downs and their recent performance is also not good because look like now they are having no chance for improving their quality and performance with this current system which is having many issues but still they are doing good in shorter formats and can stay in touch for the better results.
