NED VS WI - 1st ODI, West Indies tour of Netherlands, 2022

20:33 Local Time, 18:33 GMT, 00:03 IST: That's all then, all done in this first ODI. It was curtailed by rain for over two hours but we still managed to get 45 overs each. The Netherlands batted brilliantly with their debutant Teja Nidamanuru top scoring with an unbeaten 58. They got a solid first innings score, but ultimately the experience and skill of the West Indies proved too good for them as Hope, Brooks and King outclassed the hosts to get a convincing seven-wicket victory. Over to Thursday now where these two sides play again at the same venue, goodbye from Saurabh, on behalf of Akshay, Kumar and Vinod. Ciao!

Shai Hope: I just love batting, any chance I get I just want to try and perform. Didn’t expect to get cramp in this sort of weather, it was a bit surprising. We are enjoying our cricket at the moment, just want to continue this.

20:19 Local Time, 18:19 GMT, 23:49 IST: A comfortable win for the two-time World Champions against the associate nation. Netherlands played well but were always chasing the game. There was a period in the middle overs with three quick wickets where the hosts thought they had a chance, but the experience of players like Shai Hope and Brandon King shone through as the visitors quelled any doubts about this chase. Hope batted brilliantly to end on 119 not out, taking his team through to a target that was a bit tricky in the beginning. Over to the next game now on Thursday.
