    8.6 stunning change of pace, Monank is done by the knuckleball! It was the slow bouncer, he looked to take on the length, but had no scoobies about the pace. There was time to play six shots before the ball arrived, and in the end he stabbed his periscope up, trying to connect on a flimsy ramp shot, but poked it off a top-edge, for the keeper to trot back and gather 82/2
    2.5 timber! Klein tightens his line, finds an ideal length with a hint of movement, Sheyan stepped into another lusty thwack, and is beaten around the outside edge. Stumps splattered as Klein gives him the face-wipe send-off. 27/1
    16.5 picks out deep backward square leg! Still no centuries in this T20 World Cup. Banged in short, rushed by the pace-on option. Pulls into the leg side with plenty of elevation, but not enough distance, and Ackermann takes a simple enough catch just off the rope. Mukkamalla falls after a sparkling innings 159/4
    10.6 cleans him up on the angle! Klaassen strikes. Runs his fingers across it but there's no grip for the cutter, which slides straight past Krishnamurthy's inside edge and onto the top of leg stump 105/3

    18.4 good diving catch down the leg side by Edwards! Slower-ball bouncer, angling down the leg side, Milind pulls but can only glove it down the leg side. Edwards flings himself low to his left and gobbles up a low chance 185/5
    19.2 picks out long-on! Van der Merwe takes a tumbling catch to his right. Offcutter on a length, Harmeet walks down and slogs aimlessly down the ground. Van der Merwe keeps his eyes on it all the way 188/6

    1.1 Skids through low, pins back off stump! Round-arm release, under-cutting the ball from round the wicket, Levitt made room to hack through the covers, but that thudded into his stump, only a third up! The end of an underwhelming stay, and a huge blow for USA! 9/1
    4.6 thumped straight to mid-on! O'Dowd sits back on the big launch through another short, wide delivery. He should have sent it ten rows back, but can't get the elevation and knows from the moment he makes contact! Milind hops to gather, and that's a real dent in the powerplay, with both openers gone 41/2
    6.3 back of a length, clobbered to cover! Everything Netherlands hit right now is going to hand! It wasn't the best ball of Harmeet's spell, it was short, it was wide, it was there to be hit. De Leede made room to smoke it through the covers, and clothed it straight into Patel's midriff! 53/4
    5.4 clipped off the full length, straight to midwicket! Ackermann's gone for a first-baller, and now USA believe! It's the wobble-seam from van Schalkwyk... the new batter can't line it up cleanly, and pops his attempt to put bat through ball straight to Ranjane. That's his ninth wicket of a stellar tournament. How many more to come? 45/3
    9.6 flatter, sklddier, splat go the stumps! Edwards is done like a kipper, trying to wipe across the line, but the ball is through him too quickly, on the angle into middle stump! 75/6
    7.6 played on! Netherlands in freefall now! It's the googly from Mohsin, doesn't turn much, but just holds up outside off, as Lion-Cachet plays for the turn, off the back foot. HIs attempted cut zips off the under-edge of his bat, into the stumps. This is one-way traffic now 66/5
    11.4 pinned on the pad, up goes the finger! Van der Merwe reviews. Brought out the reverse-sweep, looking to hoick it away behind square on the off side, but was smacked on the front shin. No bat or glove, confirms Ultra-Edge. Impact in line, and projected to smash into leg stump, two-thirds of the way up! Harmeet has a fourth, and the Dutch are drowning in the canals! 84/7
    12.3 cleaned up by the flat legbreak! Van Beek decides there's no point hanging around and looks to drag a slog-sweep into the leg side, but is beaten in the flight. There's only a hint of turn, but enough to beat the bat and crash into the top of off stump 86/8
    13.4 through him this time! 10 wickets for the tournament for SvS. Legcutter on a length, sneaks under the bottom edge as Dutt looks to launch again over the leg side, and rearranges his stumps 96/9

    15.5 chipped to mid-off, and the USA have done it! Get the Springsteen blaring. That is a thrashing. A third win at a T20 World Cup for the USA after they saw off Canada and Pakistan two years ago on home soil, and they've absolutely steamrolled the Dutch in Chennai. Set up by Saiteja Mukkamalla, sealed by Harmeet Singh. 103/10
