What makes you think that it is not Eng poor bowling that is making this match a contest. Pakistan will of course be wary of every team. To me though, they are 2 good for holland
 
Dutch giving a scare to England here, Grooth batting well, mixed with some good luck. If things keep up then they may take it
 
66-3, 97 required in 71. Unlikely, but not impossible.

Can you imagine if netherlands wins and pak beats eng (or worse, pak england gets rained out) ? tragic exit for eng

English may be playing crap today but they can still play as evidenced by their performance against NZ
 
Arlo white on 5live with alec stewart .
Arlo: Eng are in trouble here alec if they don't win here as Pak are no 1 T20 side will be hard to beat on sunday.
Alec:where were you born arlo? you seem so confident of Pak beating Eng on sunday.
Arlo:they were runners up last time and have the best win ratio in T20 internationals and I think they will start as favourites on sunday.
 
How deep is Neds batting? They will need to have batsmen till the 7/8 position if they want to win this. Have done better then everyone's expectation till now
 
They might even win this one!

Good batting the last over, except the wicket.
 
excellent running by netherlands here. Lots of singles and doubles, and the peppered boundaries are helping as well.
 
commentators saying dutch are ahead by DL, and rain might strike soon
 
supposidly ten Desushete is big hitter for Neds and he is still to come.
 
if it rains, nethrland wins, they are ahead. it would be very funny if it rains now
 
Aaand another pie thrower..haha..Eng..You aint going anywhere with this crap
 
They need 1 or 2 powerful overs here and the RR required will be less then 7, which is very doable. If Grooth stays a one end and someone on the other hand supports him, I expect Netherlands to pull this off.
 
another full toss dispatched.
who is Neds batting coach? we need it prompto : )
 
hahaha Waz keeps calling netherlands "NEITHER-land"
 
No need for Sixes, just take the singles and a four or two every other over and they're home!

12 off the last over

91/3 after 10.

They just need to keep their wickets.
 
Hasha: "He like his batting better than he likes his cheese"

what an idiot.....
 
conasidering rain on the horizen, Eng must gamble and bring Anderson and Broad on now so they can pul them Neds in below the D/L line with some wkts.
 
sidebottom on, lets see what happens. been getting good pace and bounce
 
CricVet said:
Eng needs to bring Anderson and Adil now for any hope

Sidebottom has been there best bowler in this match, but I don't think he can wreck some havoc because of the sheer determination that Netherlands have shown this match...

Broad has been hit for 20 runs in 2 overs; I don't think he has bowled too well, but I'm not watching it live, so not sure if his numbers don't reflect his actual bowling...
 
6 off the over, all in singles and doubles. good bowling by sidebottom, but excellent stuff here from the dutch
 
swinganamiss! batsman tried to heave collingwood there
 
amazing running, england missed a run out chance, and the dutch reply with a six!
 
Netherlands are doing great.

Rain is forecast on Sunday and Tuesday. So if the next games are washed out, England are out.
 
my god guys, if the dutch take it here it is certainly no fluke. they are showing great poise
 
I love the way they are batting, just putting bat to ball and getting the job done.

de Grooth just got out
 
England in with a chance here, they need a couple more wickets.
 
this is not good news for Pak remember Irelands tie against Zimbabwe which cost us in 07 WC.
 
12.4 Collingwood to Borren, SIX, that's not six. That's twelve! A superb pull for six, miles and miles into the stands! What timing
They had to fetch that from inside one of the corporate boxes!
 
Hope Netherlands dont lose their way now...they've fought too hard and have got a solid base. Hopefully the middle and lower order will keep their cool and see them through
 
45 from 40, 6 wiks in hand. match really in the balance
 
Eng are just 2 scared. Should gamble with Adil from one side and Anderson from other
 
Neds version of Afridi in the middle
Lets see if Ryan ten can do anything
 
Called wide, i dont think that was wide. Ashoka's one of the worst umpires for sure.
 
If Netherlands beats England, we might have a problem if England beat Pakistan, and the Netherlands v Pakistan match is rained off,or England beat us by a bigger margin than we beat Netherlands by! We'll be out!

We need Netherlands to lose to England. Then we only have to beat Netherlands, irregardless of how we perform against England.
