CHITTAGONG:
The Netherlands made 151 for four wickets in 20 overs against New
Zealand in their super 10 Group One match of the World Twenty20 in
Chittagong on Saturday.
After being sent into bat by New Zealand, the Netherlands batted steadily to reach 50 in 55 balls and later 100 off 88 balls after losing three wickets.
However, a 60-run fourth wicket partnership between captain Peter Borren and tom Cooper enabled the Netherlands to set a moderate target for New Zealand.
Borren made 49 off 35 balls with seven fours and a six while Cooper scored an unbeaten 40 from 23 balls with four boundaries and two sixes.
Netherlands who have been without a win in the tournament so far need desperately a win to remain in the race while New Zealand won one of their two matches so far.
