West Indies beat Netherlands by 20 runs

VRA Ground, Amstelveen

Right then, that is all we have from this series. The trophy is handed to Nicholas Pooran and he now joins his teammates to pose for some photos with that shining trophy. It is a perfect start for this young West Indies team under the leadership of Nicholas Pooran. They will be travelling next to Pakistan and the first ODI starts on Wednesday, 8th of June while Netherlands will take on England at home in an ODI series which starts on the 17th of June. However, you don’t have to wait for quality cricket action for that long just switch tabs and enjoy the beauty of Test cricket as England and New Zealand fight it out in Lord’s on the third day of the first Test match. Cheers!

Nicholas Pooran, the skipper of West Indies, says that he is very pleased to win with a new team and to win 3-0. Adds that he is happy with all the guys, everyone stuck to the plans, he is happy with the spinners as well. Mentions that Netherlands put on a great show, they stole the game away from them but they fought back well and capitalized on the moments. Says that the fans here have made the victory special for them.

Pieter Seelaar, the skipper of Netherlands, says that they played well in patches and adds that they had a proper chance in this game and a little bit of inexperience cost the game in the end. Tells that he is very disappointed to lose in this game and in the position they were at the end of 25 overs they should have won this game and they kind of deserved 10 points. Tells that Vikramjit Singh and Max O'Dowd played well throughout the series and they probably lost the game from the overs between 35 to 40.

Akeal Hosein is the PLAYER OF THE SERIES! He says that he is very pleased with his effort on this batting-friendly wicket. He credits Nicholas Pooran for his decision-making. Says that Pooran made the right changes at the right time. Concludes by saying that he is ready to put his hand up whenever the team requires it.

Kyle Mayers is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant knock of 120 off just 106 balls. He says that it was a good feeling, he always wanted to a century and he is really happy about it. Mentions that he tries to cherish the opportunities he gets and opening the batting was an opportunity and he is happy he made it count. Adds that it was his first time in Netherlands and his time here has been great. He hopes that he can open the batting along with Shai Hope in the near future as well.

Time for the presentation...

Netherlands will be ruining the fact that they did not manage to chase down this total despite having wickets in hand for the majority of this chase. However, this series will be a big learning curve for them as to how to build their innings in the middle overs and they certainly did better in the middle overs than they did in the previous two games. West Indies had two debutants in this game and both had a decent outing with Seales taking one wicket and Shermon Lewis finishing things off with three wickets. Overall, this series has turned out to be quite a productive one for West Indies and a major learning curve for the Dutch ahead of their series against England.

West Indies, riding on twin hundreds by Mayers and Brooks managed to put a big score on the board. The Dutch bowlers did well in the death overs with the ball but a chase of over 300 was always going to be tough. However, Netherlands started brightly with the bat and Vikramjit Singh and Max O'Dowd put on a 98 runs opening stand. Singh departed after scoring fifty in the 18th over and it was always going to be that middle phase that was going to decide the outcome of this game. Max O'Dowd who batted fluently in the first 15-16 overs suddenly went into his shell as the fear of losing wickets in clusters in middle overs was looming large. Musa Ahmad and Bas de Leede at the other ends played good run-a-ball innings but sadly they could not carry on and Max O'Dowd failed to up the ante. Max departed in the 43rd over on a score of 89 off 121 balls with his team needing 10 runs per over in the last 7 overs. Akeal Hosein was once again the star who got two big wickets of Max O'Dowd and Bas de Leede. Once, Max O'Dowd departed it was too much for other batters, and in the end, West Indies clinched this game by 20 runs.

West Indies have clinched the series by a 3-0 margin and Netherlands' search for a first ODI win against West Indies continues.  Have to say, though, that West Indies were made to toil hard in every game of this series and Netherlands have only improved as this series has progressed. However, West Indies have still managed to bag all 30 points of the ICC World Cup Super League from this series and they will be mighty pleased with the performance of this young team under Nicholas Pooran.

OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! West Indies have struck on the first ball after drinks! Kyle Mayers gets rid of Vikramjit Singh. A peach of a delivery. A length ball, tailing back in around middle. Vikramjit Singh looks to block this but he gets beaten on the inside edge. The ball sneaks in the gap between bat and pad and goes on to hit the stumps. Much-needed wicket for West Indies!

DRINKS! This has been an excellent start from the Dutch. Just what the doctor ordered but the real test will be in these coming middle overs. We have seen them giving away the advantage quite a few times in this phase and let's see how they go about their business today. West Indies would know that couple of wickets here and they can control this game. Kyle Mayers will continue with the ball for West Indies. Can he provide the breakthrough?

WIDE! Jayden Seales starts his ODI career with a wide! It is full and way outside off. Singh leaves it alone.

We are back for the chase! West Indies players are out there in the middle. Max O'Dowd and Vikramjit Singh are the openers for Netherlands. Jayden Seales to start with the ball for West Indies. He is on debut. Let's see how he goes about his business. Here we go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Now then, Netherlands have not been at their best with the bat and West Indies have done exceedingly well with the ball. West Indies might be the favourites here to win, but we can not count Netherlands out of this one. They are truly capable of chasing this one down. Stay tuned for the second essay.

It was a disappointing bowling show from the Dutch. In the previous two games, it was their bowling that caused some kind of trouble, but they have failed to replicate the same here. They started on the right foot by grabbing the wicket of Shai Hope but post that they were not as disciplined. They gave away 24 runs in extras which included 16 wides and 4 no balls. In the middle phase, Aryan Dutt was the bowler who kept things quiet. There were a few LBW calls that did not go their way, but that was it. However, they did well to pull things back in the last 10 overs of the game. They grabbed 4 wickets and gave away 67 runs. Things could have gone a lot worse for the home side, but they still face a daunting task ahead of them. Other than, Pieter Seelaar, all the other bowlers grabbed a wicket each, but Aryan Dutt was definitely the pick of the bowlers.

After electing to bat first,  West Indies decided to make a change in their batting order. Kyle Mayers was asked to open alongside Shai Hope. This change certainly did wonders for the visitors. Shai Hope and Kyle Mayers put on 58 runs together before losing Hope in the 12th over. Post that, Shamarh Brooks walked in and he along with Kyle Mayers stitched a partnership of 184 runs and guided West Indies close to a score of 250. However, Kyle Mayers notched his maiden century and perished soon after that. Shamarh Brooks went on till the end and he too scored a sublime ton and made sure to get West Indies across the 300-run mark. There were a few cameos in the middle, and that eventually helped West Indies to set a target of 309. But the first innings certainly belonged only to two people, Kyle Mayers and Shamarh Brooks. It's up to the bowlers now!

For the first time in the series, West Indies have batted first and have put on a stupendous show. Although they would feel they fell short of around 20 runs after the start they got. Nevertheless, they have still managed to put a healthy total on the board. It's been a good fightback from Netherlands. West Indies were well on course to make over 320 runs but the hosts have done well to pull things back towards the end and have restricted them to a score of under 310. The visitors will be the happier side going into the break.

DRINKS! West Indies are going along nicely here and are well set for a big score. The move to send Mayers at the top of the order has turned out to be a fruitful one and with plenty of big-hitters to follow, Windies will be looking at something more than 320 at least. Netherlands, need to take wickets and take them quickly as the match can go well out of their hands, if the West Indies batters explode in the last 10-15 overs.

He along with Shamarh Brooks will look to build a partnership here. Netherlands will want to take things under control from here and grab quick wickets to put the visitors under pressure.

Runs straightaway! Logan van Beek begins with a length ball, angling in on the pads. Shai Hope tucks it towards deep square leg for a brace. Shai Hope and West Indies are up and running!

We are all set to begin! Netherlands players are out there in the middle. Shai Hope and Kyle Mayers are the openers for West Indies. The players take knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Logan van Beek to start with the ball. Here we go...

Pieter Seelaar, the skipper of Netherlands, says that whatever they do, they have to do it well. Mentions that they have competed in the last two games and it will be good to go ahead and get a win. Informs that they have one change.

Nicholas Pooran, the skipper of West Indies, says that they are going to bat first, it is a good opportunity to put a total on a really good wicket. Adds that they will back their openers to do the job for them today and hopefully things go in their way today. Informs that they have two changes, Alzarri Joseph and Anderson Phillip make way for Jayden Seales and Shermon Lewis.

Netherlands (Playing XI) - Vikramjit Singh, Max O'Dowd, Musa Ahmad, Bas de Leede, Scott Edwards (WK), Teja Nidamanuru, Pieter Seelaar (C), Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Ryan Klein, Vivian Kingma (In place of Shariz Ahmad).

West Indies (Playing XI) - Shai Hope (WK), Shamarh Brooks, Nkrumah Bonner, Nicholas Pooran (C), Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Keacy Carty, Akeal Hosein, Shermon Lewis (In place of Anderson Phillip), Jayden Seales (In place of Alzarri Joseph), Hayden Walsh.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of West Indies. They have elected to BAT first.

The Dutch have done well in patches but they have failed to seize the opportunities they have got. Their bowling unit has done reasonably well but the batters need to step up and put a healthy total on the board if they are to bat first once again. Netherlands will be aiming to win this final game and grab those vital 10 points in the ICC World Cup Super League and of course to avoid a series whitewash at home. Who will win this final battle? We will find out. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.

It was not an easy win for West Indies in the previous game. They were put on the back foot early in the game, but Brandon King ensured they get over the line. He has scored consecutive half-centuries and has been the most consistent player for his side. He will look to carry on his form in this final ODI. The bowlers have caused a lot of trouble and they will want to replicate their performance to clean sweep the series.

Hello and a warm welcome to the third and final ODI in this exciting series between Netherlands and West Indies. The visitors have taken a commanding 2-0 lead and have clinched the series, while Netherlands have fought well but have not enjoyed much success. However, they will be looking to fill the gaps and get over the line this time and end the series on a positive note.

... MATCH DAY ...
