7.05pm That's all we have then from this dead rubber, thanks for joining and commenting despite the rain and all eyes will be on the other match now - Bangladesh v Oman at the same ground.

Presentation:

Porterfield: It's been a tough week but we won't make any excuses. We had this game on after two overs and should have taken it from there.

Borren: Six overs is always a bit of a lottery but I was happy with the bowling performance. Van Meekeren bowled some excellent yorkers and hard luck for Ireland as anyone can win this game. I'm proud of what our bowlers did today.

6.54pm That's the future for you - six-over matches and maybe a good bowler in the making - van Meekeren! The match was dominated by rain before it was reduced to six overs a side and Netherlands prevail on the back of Myburgh's 27 and some great bowling from van Meekeren - 4 for 11 from two overs. These aren't good signs for Ireland, though. They lost to Oman a few days back, a much bigger loss, no doubt, and end the tournament with another defeat, going back winless

Man of the Match Van Meekeren: It's special, I'm not sure if it's happened yet. The captain told me to bowl short of length and into the stumps and it was perfect conditions for me so felt great. We had been preparing for this for the last three weeks, maybe six months, and it worked out well. I'd also like to thank the groundstaff, they did an excellent job because it didn't look like we were going to have a match earlier

BlackJack: "@Vishal With what speed was Meekeren bowling?" He wasn't bowling full throttle, changed his pace very well to trick the batsmen

haider: "In every ball also give update as 'no rain'." I thought that was understood, but will try

van Meekeren to NJ O'Brien, 1 run, on the off stump and the batsman doesn't connect that well. Van Meekeren pumps the air to celebrate the 12-run win

Rabbul: "Am very tensed here by thinking that Bangladesh need to play well here with OMAN next. Anything can happen..." Will they Mankad someone?

5.4
W
van Meekeren to Dockrell, OUT, two in two for the third time in the innings! Van Meekeren bowls straight again, Dockrell slogs to the leg side but misses it like Sorensen and loses his leg stump

GH Dockrell b van Meekeren 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

16 from 3 now. Technically possible

5.3
W
van Meekeren to Sorensen, OUT, goes for the stumps and gets 'em! Sorensen's woes in the last over continue as he swings to leg, misses it completely and the stumps are rattled. The bails are zinging so hard but nobody is paying attention, poor things

MC Sorensen b van Meekeren 9 (11m 7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 128.57

5.2
2
van Meekeren to Sorensen, 2 runs, back of length outside off now, gets a bottom edge towards midwicket. Same result with quick running
