NED vs NAM Match 10 Results

9:00 AM IST The captain of Namibia - Gerhard Erasmus says that they did reasonably well with the bat, but should have got more runs in the Powerplay. Adds that the wicket was a bit tacky, but overall, it was a good effort from them. Mentions that failing to build partnerships in the middle cost them, and reckons that if they had got to 160-170, they could have been in the game. Erasmus further says that when you are shy of runs, you try to buy wickets, which they could not. Tells that the next game will be under lights, so they will have to get used to the conditions. Admits that not having to travel and playing in the same venue is a good thing for them. Ends by saying that it will be a big crowd for that game against India, but they will prepare well for it.

8:58 AM IST Let's see what the captains have to say...

8:58 AM IST The victorious skipper of Netherlands - Scott Edwards notes that it was a pretty good day for them. The conditions favoured them and credited his bowlers for restricting Namibia to a below-par score. Mentions that it was nice to have spinners who can bowl to the left-handed batters. On Bas de Leede, Scott says he was sensational for the team. He came into the attack and did an excellent job. Feels that their next game against the USA is a massive one and hopes to win the match.

8:56 AM IST Tough outing for Namibia - There was not much to talk about in Namibia's bowling effort, largely because they did not have enough runs on the board. Bernard Scholtz struck early, with Ruben Trumpelmann and Loftie-Eaton also picking up wickets, but the breakthroughs came too few and too far apart as the damage had already been done. A couple of missed chances only made things harder, and Namibia will need to tighten up quickly ahead of their next game.

8:56 AM IST Bowlers set it up for the Dutch - Earlier in the game, Namibia posted a fighting total, thanks largely to Jan Frylinck and Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, who added 50 together, along with late cameos from Gerhard Erasmus and JJ Smit, which pushed them past 150 without a final flourish. Netherlands responded with a disciplined bowling effort, led by Logan van Beek's two wickets after his setback against Pakistan, while Bas de Leede also took two and Aryan Dutt and Fred Klaassen chipped in as well, backed up by sharp fielding and a couple of run-outs.
