ICC Cricket World Cup: In match 56 of the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2, which took place at the United Cricket Club Ground in Windhoek on Friday, March 7, the Netherlands defeated Namibia by 53 runs thanks to an outstanding bowling effort.
Despite being bowled out for 159 runs in 39.1 overs, the Netherlands easily won because to three-wicket hauls from Zach Lion-Cachet and Aryan Dutt. The only hitters to put up any kind of fight were Ruben Trumpelmann (25 not out) and captain Gerhard Erasmus (31) as the hosts’ innings ended with just 106 runs in 30 overs.
Earlier in the Dutch innings, the only noteworthy batting performances were a 47-run knock by Teja Nidamanuru and an 84-run opening partnership between Vikramjit Singh (37) and Max O’Dowd (43). Rain forced the match to be shortened to 40 overs each side.
