20:03 Local Time, 18:03 GMT, 23:33 IST: Netherlands have done exceedingly well with the ball to take the 1-0 lead. They were in a spot of bother when Munsey and Berrington were going well but once Munsey was dismissed, Netherlands created enough an opening to derail the chase with some impeccable bowling. Scotland were cruising at 100 for 3 when Munsey departed and they quickly slipped to 121 for 7 to never recover from there. Earlier, Max O' Dowd played a stellar role with the bat to score an imperious 82 and single handedly put Netherlands on track for a respectable total. Van Beek batting at number 8 was the second highest run getter for Netherlands as O' Dowd failed to get much support. Netherlands ended with 163 in their 33 overs as rain had made everyone wait for close to four hours for a start to this series. Scotland were in a soup early as they were 31 for 3 before recovering and then going down tumultuously. The second game of the series is on the 21st and we will look forward to your company then. For now, it is goodbye and goodnight from our end. Stay indoors and stay safe.
