Ireland vs Netherlands, 2nd Semi-Final at Dublin, , Jul 25 2015 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Thats all we have for you. Thank you for your company and your comments. See you tomorrow at the final

Preetham: "That wraps up a hat-trick of five-wicket victories today."

Peter Borren says he was very satisfied. I asked for 40 overs of good cricket and thats what I got. The three seamers bowled fantastically. We really set it up in the first half. We were keen to play the first six overs as normal. The one way to get into trouble was not playing shots early and being nervy. We did display positive intent, just didn;t happen for the openers. But Cooper and Swart resurrected the innings really well. We can be very proud of what we have done and hopefully we do well tomorrow as well. It is something we were trying to do, to win an Associate tournament. Last year we were the only Associate team in the World T20

William Porterfield says I think it is the story of the competition. Havent been scored enough runs with the bat. Havent got momentum going at any stage. I dont think 129 did justice to the pitch. We should have been up arounmd 140-150 to give our bowlers a chance. They were the ones who kept us in the tournament so far. We knew if we bowled well and get a couple of wickets early, powerplay mattters. Cant fault the bowlers too much. Just not enough runs with the bat. Througout the competition, we have had those five-six overs that have pulled the momentum back while we were batting

Mudassar Bukhari is the Man of the Match for his 4 for 28. He says, Its always good to contribute to a win. I had some pace, good spells in the tournament earlier as well. Luckily I got it together today as well. I had one very clear plan today, just hit the deck hard at back of a length. Earlier, I was trying too much with slower ball and all. I had to do it for my coach today as well, luckily I got a few wickets and show my celebrations off a bit. I am a passionate cricketer. [Kind of a comeback?] Felt comfortable today. Hit my lengths well, and I was backed up by some good fielding

Razin: "Sensational cameo by Borren; congrats to the Dutch team. Hope they pull of an upset or two at the World Twenty20" --- Indeed, he was a lovely steadying influence when a few wickets fell quickly in the middle.

Albert: "Great stuff from The Netherlands. Against the home favorites this is a great victory for Dutch cricket."

5.15 pm It also means we will have a new champion tomorrow. Ireland had won the last two editions of this tournament, but have been outplayed today. It was a tense game for quite a while, but 129 was never a tough target to chase. Kevin O Briens 3 for 26 kept Ireland in it, but Borren and Ben Cooper stood firm and sealed the chase

Samrat Ahuja: "Ireland would admit themselves that they didn't play very well in this tournament. Stirling never got going, Mooney was excellent in one match, gave away 19 runs in an over in the next , Dockrell disappointed today and the team never clicked together!!"

Only four needed now

Possibly because the equation is still only 11 off 16, with Borren well set

Heres Mooney
