That's all we have from the second T20I in this tri-series. Scotland announce their arrival in the competition in some style. But they will be facing the hosts tomorrow. Can they repeat this performance? Join us to find out. Until next time, goodbye and take care..
18:10 Local Time, 17:10 GMT, 22:40 IST: Scotland killed the contest when they posted 252 and Alasdair Evans furthered that advantage when he picked up two wickets in the second over of the innings. Netherlands skipper Pieter Seelaar was the only one who made a meaningful contribution as the rest of the batsmen tried to hit each and every ball. His unbeaten 49-ball 96 ensured that the margin of defeat was not embarrassing. Earlier on it was the Coetzer-Munsey show as the pair added 200 for the opening wicket to set up the sixth highest T20I total. Munsey went on to score his maiden T20I hundred and also carried his bat through the innings.

Evans to Seelaar, 1 run, nope. Evans make sure he doesn't. Scotland win by 58 runs. Back of a length delivery and Seelaar is not able to get underneath that, mistimes the heave towards long-on and it is just kept to a single
Evans to Seelaar, FOUR, edged and four. Seelaar is one hit away now. Full delivery outside off, Seelaar throws his bat upon seeing the width and the outside edge runs away fine to the third man fence. Can he get his hundred?
Evans to Clayton Floyd, leg byes, 1 run, big shout for LBW. The umpire seems unconvinced. A yorker aimed for the stumps, Floyd fails to get his bat down in time to keep it out, he was struck in front of middle and leg, not sure how that was not given
Evans to Seelaar, 1 run, he's missed out there. A full toss just below the waist, Seelaar could not get the elevation on the heave as he hits it along the ground to wide long-on, just a single
Evans to Clayton Floyd, 1 run, fuller on the stumps, Floyd ekes out an inside edge to short fine leg, over to Seelaar
Evans to Clayton Floyd, no run, slower delivery outside off, Floyd swings hard and makes no connection. He needs to get Seelaar back on strike
Alasdair Evans [3.0-0-12-2] is back into the attack

4-0-51-0
Safyaan Sharif to Seelaar, SIX, shot! He moves into the 90s now.. Full delivery on middle and leg, Seelaar makes room and frees his arms, the clean bat swing ensures that the fielder at long-off is a mere spectator
Safyaan Sharif to Seelaar, FOUR, streaky! Seelaar won't mind it as he is chasing a hundred. Very full delivery close to yorker length, Seelaar looks to drive but squirts an inside edge past the leg-stump, the ball races away to the fine leg fence
Safyaan Sharif to Clayton Floyd, 1 run, shortens the length and Floyd is cramped for room, miscues the pull and the ball lands safely near mid-wicket
Safyaan Sharif to Clayton Floyd, no run, appeal for LBW. The umpire is not interested. Spears it into the blockhole and Floyd jams it down the wicket, surely it was bat first and hence the turn down
Safyaan Sharif to Seelaar, 1 run, full and outside off, Seelaar drills the drive to long-off
Safyaan Sharif to Seelaar, FOUR, misses the yorker and dishes out a juicy full delivery, Seelaar clears his front leg and thumps it straight down the ground. He generated a lot of power via his bottom hand
Clayton Floyd, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Adrian Neill to Snater, out Caught by MacLeod!! Another one bites the dust.. Snater was going after everything and it was a matter of time before his luck ran out. Steps down and makes room, Neill follows him with a back of a length delivery and Snater still goes for the big heave, picks out MacLeod perfectly near long-on.
