- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.6 edged behind, sharp catch from Nigar because she's standing up and is Trisna fired up or what!. Not her greatest delivery, as it's wide, but at least not full. Heather goes for a big swing to leg but only gets a faint edge 36/21.4 what a riposte from Marufa! She stifles Molkenboer a little with the tighter line, sends down a scrambled seam on short of length and Molkenboer pokes away from the body to edge it behind 14/116.3 Pitched up on off, flicked to deep midwicket. Fifty and out for de Leede! She tipped it just past the ring, deep midwicket charged in. It was Zwilling who called for the run. De Leede committed but had to make a bit of extra ground 115/77.1 strikes first ball and what a way to get her 50th T20I wicket! A ripper without much flight, straight down the off stump line, beats Kalis for pace and knocks top of off. What a sight for a spinner. Kalis is stunned with her feet spread wide on the pitch! 47/311.2 Nearly a three-way collision! Marufa runs towards cover and takes it as point and cover converged. Cover ducked and ran past the bowler as she stretched forward and took it. Scramble-seam length ball well outside off. Rijke looked to drag it leg side with a flat-bat, ball ballooned right up. Marufa throws the ball up in excitement 71/412.1 Spooned to mid-off!. A bit of a juggle from Dilara as the ball came low to her left. She was on one knee, took it and tumbled bat. Ball around the fuller side of length. Angled in towards leg and may have straightened. Khurana looked to punch it straight, didn't check the shot, got it off the outer-half 76/515.6 Pitched up outside off, driven to mid-off. Overdijk took off while de Leede stood still as the direct hit came in from Shorna. She was quick to run in and hit side on. Bat well behind the crease 113/617.1 Middle stump hit three fourth of the way up. Touch back of length, skidded through. De Lange showed all stumps and looked to pull it. No room, so couldn't extend her arms. Beaten. Sanjida does a horizontal A with her fingers in celebration 116/8Extras11 (b 2, lb 2, w 7)TOTAL139/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.95)Did not bat: I van der WoningFall of wickets: 1-14 (Phebe Molkenboer, 1.4 ov), 2-36 (Heather Siegers, 4.6 ov), 3-47 (Sterre Kalis, 7.1 ov), 4-71 (Robine Rijke, 11.2 ov), 5-76 (Sanya Khurana, 12.1 ov), 6-113 (Frederique Overdijk, 15.6 ov), 7-115 (Babette de Leede, 16.3 ov), 8-116 (Caroline de Lange, 17.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 finally something to celebrate for Netherlands! Ferdous has cut that straight to point and it has taken Netherlands three catches to send her back 67/110.2 That's a legbreak for the connoisseurs and punters alike! 77ks, drifts in towards middle and leg, hits the fuller side of length and rips away to hit off. Dilara stood in front of middle looking to defend straight. Ball's release from well beyond the perpendicular may have had Dilara to play a straighter angle, what transpired was 0.22 degrees of drift and 3.47 degrees turn as per the ball-tracking graphic 79/37.6 two in two for de Lange, the captain is gone first ball! Tossed up generously, lovely dip in front of the batter's eyes on off stump, Nigar drives across the line and misses completely. Just what the doctor ordered (sorry, couldn't resist) 67/211.6 Length on off, flicked towards midwicket. Bowler runs across and has a direct hit at the non-striker's on the full. Sent upstairs. Mostary didn't get up for a while after sliding her bat... and the triple-angle replay shows why! Bat's not on the crease when the bails light up! Netherlands have two in two overs and are right back. 85/4Extras6 (lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL141/4 (19.1 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Juairiya Ferdous, 7.5 ov), 2-67 (Nigar Sultana, 7.6 ov), 3-79 (Dilara Akter, 10.2 ov), 4-85 (Sobhana Mostary, 11.6 ov)
