Thanks for joining us for the coverage today and it's a good night from Kate, Chandan and Vairavan as well. Please do join us for the next match on Friday
Timm van der Gugten is the Player of the match: It was a tight game and we held on for a tight win. It was a tough wicket to start on and we started well but lost a few wickets. We always felt we were one wicket away. A good over here and there ( could've swung it our way)
Balbirnie:We were in driver's seat with four overs to go but it didn't go our way. It was a total we should've chased. We should turn it around in the next game. It's a quick turnaround and we should back ourselves. They were slightly better today and hopefully beat them in the next game
Seelar: This game had a bit of everything. Hard fought. Very pleased with the win. Stirling's wicket was important. McBrine gave us a couple of chances that didn't go to the hand. The lower order played well for both the teams. We are pretty down to earth and know that it's not over till the end of the third game
Till Stirling was around, Ireland were ahead of the game. His wicket was the turning point and what a bold decision by Pieter Seelar to bring himself on in the 47th over? He took a couple of wickets and decisively turned it Netherlands way. What a bowling performance by both the teams. The lower order rallied around to score a few runs
