Commentary

Right then, that is all we have from this game. West Indies have sealed this three-match ODI series with a win in this second ODI. However, there are still 10 World Cup Super League points up for grabs and both teams would be eager to get those points in their kitty. The third ODI is scheduled on 4th of June, Saturday and it will begin at 2.30 pm IST (9 am GMT). Our coverage though will start in advance. So do join us for the same. Till then, goodbye and cheers!

Nicholas Pooran, the West Indies skipper, says that he is very happy and they came here to win games and they are doing the right things. Tells that it was a good game and despite losing some wickets, the boys put their hands up and that’s what they want. Mention that they had conversations about taking early wickets and adds that even if they don’t get it, spinners have to do their job. Says that victory means a lot to them and they just want to keep winning and want to enjoy this win.

Pieter Seelaar, the Netherlands skipper, says they didn't bat well after having a good platform. Says their spinners got a good purchase. Adds that they let it slip after West Indies were restricted to 99/5 odd. On Shariz Ahmad, says it was a good outing for him. He feels that they drop off too early. Mentions that he is disappointed and they wanted to win but there are a lot of positives. Praises his bowlers for starting brightly.

Brandon King is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant unbeaten knock of 91 from 90 balls! He says he is happy so far, he tries to do his best for the team. Says the pitch is good for batting no doubt and fortunately their bowlers did a good job to bundle them out below-par. It was satisfying for him to help his team and get over the line.

Netherlands had a great start both with the bat and ball in this game but could not capitalize on either of them. There are lot of positives for them in this game with seamers and spinners bowling well and the top 3 batters batting well. However, if they want to win games against big teams they need to learn to seize the opportunities when they come their way and overall it was another good learning curve for the men in orange. They would be looking to cap off this series with a win in the next game.

The pitch was the one that aided spinners and Windies spinners took full advantage of it as they restricted Netherlands to 214 despite the Dutch getting off to a great start with 101 runs on the board with no wicket. Akeal Hosein was the star with the ball once again for the West Indies as he took four wickets. The men in maroon were though put on the back foot at the start of their batting innings and were restricted to 60-4 as their top order failed to get going on a difficult pitch. However, King was in his zone again and after a brief partnership with Mayers, Carty joined him. The duo put together an unbeaten stand of over 100 runs with King scoring 91 off 90 balls and on the way took his team over the line in the second game in the row.

West Indies have taken an unassailable lead of 2-0 in this three-match ODI series and have clinched 10 more crucial points in the World Cup Super League. They were made to toil hard but they have clinched this game comfortably in the end and these are encouraging signs for this young Windies team moving ahead as they look to build a team for the future. Netherlands, on the other hand, had their moments and at one point of time were in control of this game but this is ODI cricket and one needs to keep the consistency level for a longer time and that is where Dutch have fallen short again.

Commentary

We are back for the chase. The Netherlands players are out in the middle. Shamarh Brooks and Shai Hope are the openers for West Indies! Ryan Klein to start with the ball.

...The Chase...

Right then! West Indies have a serious chance to seal the series as the score is well under their control and they would have taken it any day. The Dutch bowlers showed good signs in the first match but they have to bowl out of their skins to test the Men in Maroon here. Stay tuned as the chase is coming up shortly.

West Indies started brightly and got ample opportunities but didn't grab them. They lost the plot after that but once the spinners were included in the attack, things started to tilt the visitors' way as wickets started falling and runs were hard to buy. 6 wickets went to spinners' way as they ran riot through the Netherlands batting line up. Akeal Hosein ended with four while Alzarri Joseph was impressive as well. He ended with a brace. Nicholas Pooran will be happy that their fielding got better after dropping some early catches.

Apart from the top three, no one from the Dutch side managed to get a double-digit score. Netherlands will be disappointed with their batting. The openers were given life early on and took the opportunity with both hands and gave a perfect start and were looking well on course for a big total. Singh fell short of his fifty but his crime-partner Max O'Dowd did reach his fifty. Both perished in a short span but after giving a good start. Scott Edwards looked good but he had no one on the other side to bond with. He brought his fifty but at a crawling pace and Netherlands have finished well below the par score here.

A fantastic bowling performance from West Indies. Netherlands were 101/1 at one moment and looked all set for a big total but an incredible downfall sees them getting bundled out without playing the full quota. A fact for all, the last boundary in this innings came in the 31st over. That just tells how impressive West Indies were.

48.3W

OUT! CAUGHT! Scott Edwards holes out and Netherlands have been bowled out for 214! A slower full delivery on off. The ball is in the slot for Scott Edwards to go big and he looks to slog-sweep it. However, he gets the elevation but not the distance required. Kyle Mayers at deep mid-wicket settles under it and takes the catch. Good innings from Scott Edwards but they needed someone to support him.

48.21

On a length, on off. Shariz Ahmad dabs it towards point and takes a quick single.

48.11lb

A fullish delivery, around off. Scott Edwards gets across and looks to heave it towards the leg side. He misses and the ball hits his pads and goes towards the off side. A leg bye taken.

Shariz Ahmad is the last man in.

47.50

A fuller delivery on off. Ryan Klein defends it towards mid on.

The ball goes off the bounce to Hope behind the stumps. Scott Edwards calls Dutt for a bye and Dutt reacts but does it a bit late. Hope collects the ball and throws it towards the bowler. Alzarri Joseph collects the ball and whips the bails off as Dutt is short of his crease.

DRINKS! These two have done well to soak in all the pressure and have now taken Windies to the safer shores. King has looked in supreme touch right from the word go and young Keacy Carty is also getting into his groove. Netherlands need to break this partnership as early as possible to stand any chance of winning this game. However, a wicket or two quickly here and Netherlands will be right back in this game. Can Bas de Leede provide that breakthrough? Here he is, back into the attack.

Commentary

We are back for the chase. The Netherlands players are out in the middle. Shamarh Brooks and Shai Hope are the openers for West Indies! Ryan Klein to start with the ball.

...The Chase...

Right then! West Indies have a serious chance to seal the series as the score is well under their control and they would have taken it any day. The Dutch bowlers showed good signs in the first match but they have to bowl out of their skins to test the Men in Maroon here. Stay tuned as the chase is coming up shortly.

West Indies started brightly and got ample opportunities but didn't grab them. They lost the plot after that but once the spinners were included in the attack, things started to tilt the visitors' way as wickets started falling and runs were hard to buy. 6 wickets went to spinners' way as they ran riot through the Netherlands batting line up. Akeal Hosein ended with four while Alzarri Joseph was impressive as well. He ended with a brace. Nicholas Pooran will be happy that their fielding got better after dropping some early catches.

Apart from the top three, no one from the Dutch side managed to get a double-digit score. Netherlands will be disappointed with their batting. The openers were given life early on and took the opportunity with both hands and gave a perfect start and were looking well on course for a big total. Singh fell short of his fifty but his crime-partner Max O'Dowd did reach his fifty. Both perished in a short span but after giving a good start. Scott Edwards looked good but he had no one on the other side to bond with. He brought his fifty but at a crawling pace and Netherlands have finished well below the par score here.

A fantastic bowling performance from West Indies. Netherlands were 101/1 at one moment and looked all set for a big total but an incredible downfall sees them getting bundled out without playing the full quota. A fact for all, the last boundary in this innings came in the 31st over. That just tells how impressive West Indies were.

48.3W

OUT! CAUGHT! Scott Edwards holes out and Netherlands have been bowled out for 214! A slower full delivery on off. The ball is in the slot for Scott Edwards to go big and he looks to slog-sweep it. However, he gets the elevation but not the distance required. Kyle Mayers at deep mid-wicket settles under it and takes the catch. Good innings from Scott Edwards but they needed someone to support him.

48.21

On a length, on off. Shariz Ahmad dabs it towards point and takes a quick single.

DRINKS! West Indies have done well to pull this game back. Both the spinners Walsh and Akeal Hosein have bowled well and Netherlands have struggled to find momentum in these middle overs as they have lost three wickets on the way. Scott Edwards is a good player of spin and Netherlands would hope that he along with Musa Ahmad can build a solid partnership here. West Indies, on the other hand, would be looking to take more wickets and restrict Dutch to as low a total as possible.

Three runs! Netherlands are underway! A length ball from 'round the wicket and angling onto the pads. Singh flicks it past mid-wicket and the batters take three runs.

We are all set to begin! West Indies players are out there in the middle. Vikramjit Singh and Max O'Dowd are the openers for Netherlands. The players are taking knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Kyle Mayers to start with the ball for West Indies. Here we go...

The captain of West Indies, Nicholas Pooran says they would've bat first as he feels the pitch might get slower later in the game. Says he is impressed with Brandon King and the openers as well. Tells the core is to bat throughout the innings. Informs they are playing the same team.

Pieter Seelaar, the skipper of Netherlands, says that they will bat first and adds that the pitch looks good to bat on. Tells that they played well in the first game but they need to be better in this game. Mentions that they need to be tighter with the bat and bat well against the spin. Informs that they have one change in their side.

PITCH REPORT - Peter Borren says that the pitch is the same that was used for the first ODI and it is very good for batting. Tells that it might slow down a bit and spinners might come into play. Mentions that the captain that wins the toss should bat first.

West Indies (Unchanged playing XI) - Nicholas Pooran (C), Shai Hope (WK), Nkrumah Bonner, Shamarh Brooks, Keacy Carty, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Anderson Phillip, Hayden Walsh.

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

TOSS - Netherlands have won the toss and they will BAT first!

West Indies, on the other hand, delivered a clinical performance in the first game. Akeal Hosein was the standout performer with the ball while seamers also did their job decently. Shai Hope was the star with the bat and Windies will be overall very happy with how they went about their chase. Nkrumah Bonner and Nicholas Pooran missed out in the last game with the bat but expect both of them to be at the top of their game today. Can Dutch fight back and level the series here? Or will Nicholas Pooran and his young team seal the series in this second ODI? Let's find out. Also, the forecast is cloudy for the day but we hope that the rain god stays away from the action. Toss and team sheets in a while.

This is an exciting home summer for the Dutch and they would like to make a statement with a strong performance on their home turf. They had their moments in the first game both with the bat and ball but they need more players to step up and need someone to deliver a big performance if they want to stay alive in this series. Both of their openers got starts in the first game but failed to carry on and that is one thing they need to work on as a batting group.

Hello and a warm welcome to the second ODI of this three-match ODI series between West Indies and Netherlands. Windies have started the tour with a convincing win in the first ODI and would be looking to seal the series with another strong performance. The hosts, Netherlands, on the other hand, need a win to stay alive in this series and it will be interesting to see how things pan out between two sides desperately looking to grab some World Cup Super League points.

... MATCH DAY …
