Worcestershire rout Netherlands by 44 runs in Yorkshire Bank 40 – Cricket news
In the Group A match between Worcestershire and Netherlands in the ongoing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yorkshire-c867 Bank 40, Worcestershire subdued the Dutch by 44 runs at Hazelaarweg, Rotterdam.
After posting a decent score of 293 in 40 overs for the loss of four wickets, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Worcestershire-c866 knew they had gained an upper hand over their rivals; nonetheless, Netherlands had the talent in their squad to chase down this intimidating score.
However, Chris Russell’s four-wicket haul and the lack of the lower-order batsmen to take the pressure cost the Dutch this game.
Worcestershire, who chose to bat first made a great start with openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Moeen-Ali-c1990 and Daryl Mitchell hammering a partnership of 98 runs before Tom Heggelman crashed the party by nabbing the wicket of Ali, who fell with 48 runs to his name.
Mitchell was then accompanied by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Kervezee-c1027 and the two batsmen continued to dominate their rivals with their bats.
The batsmen took the score to 185 before Mitchell perished after making 92 runs off 95 deliveries. Kervezee and Gareth Andrew then launched another intimidating batting onslaught, taking the score to 222 runs as they diminished the Dutch bowling threat.
Finally this partnership was broken by Tom Cooper, who sent Andrew back home after the batsman had scored 20 runs. Cooper, later, struck again as he nabbed the prized wicket of Kervezee, who hit the showers after hammering an 81-run knock. At the time of
this wicket, Worcestershire had managed to post 283 runs on the board.
With Ben http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Samaraweera-c2712 on three, Worcestershire played out their 40 overs for the loss of four wickets.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ES-Szwarczynski-c1423 scored 41 runs together. This partnership was brought to an end by Jack Shantry, who dismissed Myburgh for 25.
Later with 84 on the board, Szwarczynski became the second wicket as he fell on a run out after scoring 18 runs. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tom-Lexley-William-Cooper-c94199 then jabbed a resounding partnership to take the score to 176, before the departure of Barresi for 65.
However, the lower-order failed to delivery as the Dutch batsmen kept losing wickets and with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Cooper-c51561 unbeaten on 78, Netherlands faltered on 249 in 38 overs.
