It is now official, we are going to have a super over.

It is a tie. We think there won't be a super over, the players shake hands. The players are waiting in the middle, still no official word.

Ireland will be batting first in the super over. Porterfield, Wilson and Johnston are the three batsman

Ball 1 Nannes to Porterfield: Swings and misses, gets some glove to it and they scamper through for a run.

Ball 2 Nannes to Wilson: Cuts and misses, they scamper through for a bye.

Ball 3 Nannes to Porterfield: Goes for the big shot and misses, through to keeper, another bye.

Ball 4 Nannes to Wilson: Miscues it high in the air to midwicket and Zuiderent takes the catch. Ireland are 3 for 1.

Ball 5 Nannes to Porterfield: Makes room and gets an inside edge down to fine leg for couple of runs. 5 for 1.

Ball 6 Nannes to Porterfield: Misses a full toss and they scamper through for a leg bye. 6 for 1.

It is now Netherlands turn to bat and they require 7 to win in 6 balls. The three batsman nominated are Zuiderent, Reekers and Doschate. It will be Johnston to bowl for Ireland.

Ball 1 Johnston to Zuiderent: Full toss pulled to deep backward square leg, a misfield and they get back for two. so 2 for no loss.

Ball 2 Johnston to Zuiderent: Good ball right in the block-hole, digs it out.

Ball 3 Johnston to Zuiderent: Slower delivery and looking to play to the onside, misses it and for some reason Zuiderent comes out of the crease, Smits collects the ball and gets rid of the stumps.

Ball 4 Johnston to Reekers: full delivery and looking to work it through the onside misses it and Johnston fields the ball and strikes the stumps at the non-strikers end and Ireland have won the super over. A fantastic finish to the match.
