Holland defeated Denmark with a 41-run win in the ICC Trophy Super
League which got under way here Monday.
Holland, who had qualified for the main league with an advantage of
six points, enhanced their tally to eight - two points clear of their
close rivals, Scotland, who defeated Ireland by seven wickets.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) also posted an identical seven-wicket
victory over USA. Another North American team, Canada, went down
fighting to Namibia by two wickets.
At Ajax, Denmark were happy when they sent Holland crashing to 174 but
still the total looked challenging as the wicket was offering
significant movement off the seam and encouraging turn for the
spinners.
Taking full advantage of a somewhat hostile pitch, Holland's bowlers
Roland Lefebvre (3 for 14), Adeel Raja (3 for 28) and Asim Khan (2 for
14) subdued the rival batsmen who finally collapsed to 133.
At the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club, wicketkeeper/batsman Melt van Schoor steered Namibia to victory over Canada
with a solid knock of 68.
Earlier, the host nation had reached 189 before being disintegrated.
Ian Billcliff (54) was their top scorer. Namibia's paceman van Vuuren
finished with four for 33.
Ahmed Nadeem (47) and Asim Saeed (52) powered UAE to a facile win over
USA with their brilliant batting performance. They both remained
unbeaten to give their side invaluable two points.
At Malton Stadium, 30 kilometres north of Toronto, Ireland were
restricted to 174 for eight by Scotland, who later reached the target
for the loss of just three wickets. Scotland were powered by Colin
Smith (68 not out) and Douglas Lockhart (64).
