Welcome back.. Once again Netherlands' lower order have fought back and posted a competitive total. Just like they did against South Africa, Netherlands have the momentum and if they can get a couple of early wickets then it would set up for an exciting chase.
STAT: This was the first instance of two Sri Lanka bowlers bagging 4 wickets or more in a World Cup innings, after Muttiah Muralitharan and Farveez Maharoof returned 4/19 and 4/25 respectively vs Ireland at St. George’s, Grenada in 2007
Sybrand Englebrecht - Yeah, I'm happy, I think we got to a competitive total in the end. We were in trouble, myself and van Beek tried to take it till the end, he batted beautifully. It was a tricky pitch to bat on, swing early on and there was turn, so I think if we bowl well, this should be a competitive score. We decided to take it slightly deeper and that allowed us to take chances towards the end. We've got a lot of supporters from our people here and back home.
