Caradhras: "Well deserved win. Congratulations Netherlands, and Leede, the undisputed MoM. Brings intrigue into the series that was looking a very one-sided affair too."

Well well, what a game we had. Netherlands have found a new hero - Bas de Leede. Chasing 207 was never going to be easy for any side. Netherlands were asked to go 10 an over from ball one, after losing O'Dowd and Visee, Cooper and de Leede put on a show assisted by Seelaar to chase down 207. Even after losing partners de Leede stood tall and saw his team home.

On the other hand Nepal bowled too many freebies and let the Dutch dictate terms. Karan was expensive and bowled too many back of a length deliveries even in the last over. Sandeep bagged 4 wickets but at a cost of 48 runs.

And there's no surprises, Bas de Leede has been adjudged player of the match for his match winning 81 and also who picked up a wicket early on.

That's it from here. Do catch us in action tomorrow for the game between Malaysis and in-form Netherlands. Until then take care.
