on the off stump and the batsman doesn't connect that well. Van Meekeren pumps the air to celebrate the 12-run win

7.05pm That's all we have then from this dead rubber, thanks for joining and commenting despite the rain and all eyes will be on the other match now - Bangladesh v Oman at the same ground.
Presentation:
Porterfield: It's been a tough week but we won't make any excuses. We had this game on after two overs and should have taken it from there.
Borren: Six overs is always a bit of a lottery but I was happy with the bowling performance. Van Meekeren bowled some excellent yorkers and hard luck for Ireland as anyone can win this game. I'm proud of what our bowlers did today.
6.54pm That's the future for you - six-over matches and maybe a good bowler in the making - van Meekeren! The match was dominated by rain before it was reduced to six overs a side and Netherlands prevail on the back of Myburgh's 27 and some great bowling from van Meekeren - 4 for 11 from two overs. These aren't good signs for Ireland, though. They lost to Oman a few days back, a much bigger loss, no doubt, and end the tournament with another defeat, going back winless
Man of the Match Van Meekeren: It's special, I'm not sure if it's happened yet. The captain told me to bowl short of length and into the stumps and it was perfect conditions for me so felt great. We had been preparing for this for the last three weeks, maybe six months, and it worked out well. I'd also like to thank the groundstaff, they did an excellent job because it didn't look like we were going to have a match earlier
BlackJack: "@Vishal With what speed was Meekeren bowling?" He wasn't bowling full throttle, changed his pace very well to trick the batsmen
haider: "In every ball also give update as 'no rain'." I thought that was understood, but will try

van Meekeren to McBrine, 1 run
back of length outside off, steered to point for one
Comes round the wicket
Rabbul: "Am very tensed here by thinking that Bangladesh need to play well here with OMAN next. Anything can happen..." Will they Mankad someone?
5.4
W
van Meekeren to Dockrell, OUT
two in two for the third time in the innings! Van Meekeren bowls straight again, Dockrell slogs to the leg side but misses it like Sorensen and loses his leg stump
George Dockrell b van Meekeren 0 (1b 0x4 0x6 1m) SR: 0
16 from 3 now. Technically possible
5.3
W
van Meekeren to Sorensen, OUT
goes for the stumps and gets 'em! Sorensen's woes in the last over continue as he swings to leg, misses it completely and the stumps are rattled. The bails are zinging so hard but nobody is paying attention, poor things
Max Sorensen b van Meekeren 9 (7b 0x4 0x6 11m) SR: 128.57

•
Bukhari to N O'Brien, no run
excellent bowling - in the block hole again and he digs it out, back to the bowler
4.5
1
Bukhari to Sorensen, 1 run
pretty full again, driven down the ground to long-on, no time for a second
4.4
2
Bukhari to Sorensen, 2 runs
low full toss smashed back, that hit Bukhari's right foot again, and it ended up going in the gap in the covers for two. That hit Bukhari on the full and had that been taken by a fielder, would have been the most bizarre dismissal I have seen
jeram: "you can also get entertainment in 6 overs game!!! this is only happen in cricket." You can get it in Super Over too. Let me not give people ideas now
4.3
1
Bukhari to N O'Brien, 1 run
mixes it up nicely with a yorker near the batsman, no room for him at all, and he jams it down the ground for a quick single
4.2
•
Bukhari to N O'Brien, no run
makes room, Bukhari pitches it well outside off, out of his reach, and he misses it
4.1
1
Bukhari to Sorensen, 1 run
full and straight, drilled back, bowler gets his foot in the way and keeps it to one. That was a bit dangerous, though, for the bowler as the ball jammed in between his foot and the ground, nothing to worry about
Time for Mudassar Bukhari

Just three runs from the over and two wickets. Reckon that over might have shifted the match one way

van der Merwe to Sorensen, 1 run
fullish on the leg stump, it's driven down to long-on

•
van der Merwe to N O'Brien, no run
shuffles across a bit and tries to work it to leg, takes it on the pad
3.3
W
van der Merwe to Poynter, OUT
two in two again, this time it's van der Merwe, Poynter goes first ball! He swung the ball hard, against the spin, and didn't get the middle of the bat. Resulted in a skier and that was taken easily at long-on
Andrew Poynter c BN Cooper b van der Merwe 0 (1b 0x4 0x6 1m) SR: 0
3.2
W
van der Merwe to Wilson, OUT
that's the hot position tonight - short third man! Wilson went for a reverse sweep and handed a lollipop to van der Gugten out there

van Meekeren to Wilson, FOUR runs
nope, the short ball outside off gives him enough room to unleash an upper cut that lands the ball just before the boundary
