After losing the second wicket for 73 runs, Netherlands lost 5 batsmen to collect 100 runs. The interesting thing is that out of 5 batsmen, 3 batsmen have run out. I would say 3 Dutch batsmen got run out today due to inexperience. Probably Netherlands will lose all wickets before 150 runs. Netherlands just lost another wicket. Netherlands lost 6 batsmen f or 113 runs. Netherlands collected 66 runs in the first 10 overs. And in the next 15 overs, Netherlands mustered just 46 runs. Maybe the team will lose the remaining four wickets before 150. The performance of Afghanistan's bowlers is very controlled.
Once again the Dutch top order and middle order collapses. But this time the collapse occurred after they got a good start. Max O'Dowd and Colin Ackermann took them to 73/1 at one point and then they lost quick wickets to be at 134/7. The way some of the Dutch batsmen got themselves out was just shocking (example is Scott Edwards). Sybrand Engelbrecht is batting along with Roelof van der Merwe, but I don't expect them to get to 200. And in order to have any chance of winning, they need to get to at least 250.
Netherlands team managed to collect 179 runs even after losing 5 wickets of Top Orad for only 97 runs. I'd say it's a good enough collection for the Netherlands. After losing 5 top order wickets so quickly I thought they won't even score 150 runs. But it may not be possible to defeat Afghanistan by giving a target of 180 runs. However, the Netherlands have a slim chance of victory if they can get Afghanistan's top order out quickly. Afghanistan managed to collect 66 runs in 12 overs and they lost two wickets. If Rahmat Shah and Hashmatullah Shahidi at the crease don't play big innings, bat responsibly, it will be difficult for Afghanistan to win. The team still needs 114 runs to win.
