This is a complete team performance from the Dutch. It was total cricket, if you want to call it that after taking inspiration from the senior Dutch team. They kept the Germans down to a sub-par score and went about the chase in a professional manner.
Fayaz dismissed Musa early but Floyd and Rasool's second-wicket partnership kept up with the required rate without losing any wickets for over five overs, effectively killing the chase.
Basir gave a bit of a scare by picking up a couple of wickets in just one over but Rasool held one end brilliantly and Zulfiqar and Braat hit boundaries from the get go to avoid getting any pressure from the bowlers.
9.1 Sajid Liaqat to Shirase Rasool, FINISHED OFF IN STYLE WITH A BOUNDARY! NETHERLANDS XI WIN ANOTHER ONE THIS WEEK! Full around off-stump. Blasted off the thick inside edge past the left of the non-striker and down to long-on for a boundary!
Sajid Liaqat, RHB, comes into the attack
And here comes the finishing touch! Fayaz after a really good opening over was trusted to do the job in the crucial ninth but has fumbled under the pressure here with his host of looseners.

8.6 Fayaz Khan to Sebastiaan Braat, FOUR MORE! Full around off-stump. Square driven with ease in the end in the gap to deep point for a boundary!
That should seal it...
8.5 Fayaz Khan to Sebastiaan Braat, SIX MORE! Full toss on off-stump. Nicely creamed over wide long-on from the meat of the blade for a maximum!
Sebastiaan Braat, RHB, comes to the crease
8.4 Fayaz Khan to Sikander Zulfiqar, CAUGHT! Full around off-stump. Zulfiqar goes for the lofted shot over cover but fails to middle it. Mid-off moves back, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a fine catch!
