Spain beat Netherlands XI by 6 wickets
Hamza Saleem Dar 61 (16) | Sikandar Zulfiqar 47 (21)
Hamza Saleem Dar 1-17 (2) | Clayton Floyd 2-26 (2)  

You need something special with the bat to chase the score of 141 against this Dutch outfit and Hamza Dar produced exactly that to help the team cross the finish line with minimum fuss. Daniel Calle went all guns blazing at the start and smashed Millet for 25 runs off the first over

Kingma bowled a brilliant second over to concede just 5 runs but DDC kept targeting the Dutch pacers to keep the scoreboard ticking. Yasin and Ihsan failed to live up to the expectations. However, DDC figured out a new way to take on Floyd and it worked wonders but the mystery spinner got revenge by getting rid of him eventually

Spain maintained a left-right combination in the middle and that allowed Dar to come a little late but boy, he was on top gear right from the word go. Some of the ball striking was out of the world and even he sent good deliveries over the ropes. With his presence and his ability to clear the ropes with ease, Spain chased what seemed to be a difficult total at the halfway stage easily

8.4 Vivian Kingma to Hamza Saleem Dar, SIX! HAMZA DAR DOES IT IN STYLE. The celebration starts in the dressing room. Nothing wrong with the delivery as it's fuller across off, Dar caresses this and gets it over deep cover. The fielder watches it go over his head

8.3 Vivian Kingma to Hamza Saleem Dar, pitched up on a fuller length slanting across off, Dar swings away from the body but didn't get any contact

8.2 Vivian Kingma to Hamza Saleem Dar, FIFTY FOR HAMZA! Low full toss, Dar shuffles across and is quick to swivel before helping this over deep square leg.

8.1 Vivian Kingma to Hamza Saleem Dar, SIX! Pitched up slanting across off, Dar stands deep in his crease and smokes it over long-off for a maximum

7.4 Arnav Jain to Hamza Saleem Dar, SIX MORE! Tossed up on a fuller length angling across off, Dar nails the slog sweep over deep mid-wicket for a maximum

7.3 Arnav Jain to Hamza Saleem Dar, SIX! Dar is playing a blinder! Tossed up on a good length and the ball its up, Dar slams this over wide long-on for a maximum

7.1 Arnav Jain to Awais Ahmed, OUT! Pitched up delivery on a good length. Jain is brave to give some flight and it does the trick. Awais is early into his shot and ends up spooning it to Braat at long-on

6.6 Clayton Floyd to Hamza Saleem Dar, SIX! That's the benefit of having a left-hander facing Floyd. Pitched up delivery outside off, Dar gets underneath the ball and plays a lofted drive over extra cover for a maximum

6.5 Clayton Floyd to Awais Ahmed, tossed up delivery slanting across off, Awais is early into his sweep and mistimes his shot. The ball pops up and lands safely behind square

6.1 Clayton Floyd to Muhammad Ihsan, OUT! Tossed up slanting across off, Ihsan slog sweeps and gets more height than distance. Sikandar settles under it and pouches it safely
