NED VS SCO - 1st T20I, Netherlands T20I Tri-Series, 2024

That's that from the first game of the tri-series. Ireland will take on Netherlands tomorrow in the second match of the series. Same place, same time. See you then. Cheers!!

20:09 local, 18:09 GMT, 23:39 IST: When Cross got together with Richie Berrington for a 66-run stand for 4th wicket, the chase seemed probable for Scotland, but the loss of wickets in clusters on either end of that partnership cost the visitors. Kingma was splendid with the new ball, picking up the wickets of Jones and Tear inside 4 overs. Fittingly, he also finished off the innings by catching Bradley Currie plumb lbw. The spinners were pretty tight through the middle overs and pacers, too, ensured that there was a tight lid on the scoring rate. Scotland did well to fight well with the ball in the back end of Netherlands innings, but they will feel they should have done much better with the bat.

Kingma to Bradley Currie, out Lbw!! Plumb lbw and that is game over. Bradley Currie misses a length ball and gets hit right in front of middle and off. Easy decision for the umpire. The home team, Netherlands, kickstart their campaign with a 41-run win over Scotland. Bradley Currie lbw b Kingma 5(7)
