NED vs GIB

Netherlands beat Gibraltar by 57 runs
Sikandar Zulfiqar 78(26) |James Fitzgerald 27(8)
Samarth Bodha 2-12(1) | Saqib Zulfiqar 2-22(2)

Another thumping win for the red-hot Dutch team as they dismantled Gibraltar and won by a big margin. The damage was done by the Dutch batters as Sikandar's belligerent knock helped them to post a massive total on the board and it made the task easier for the bowlers to do the job

There was hardly any batter who looked good in the middle except, James Fitzgerald, who came down the order and slammed four sixes in the final over but it only helped Gibraltar to reduce the deficit of the defeat. Can Portugal stop the in-form Dutch team now? We will be heading back straightaway to the second match and catch all the updates from our Sportskeeda page.
