NAM vs NED T20 World Cup Live Score: Netherlands’ Aryan Dutt celebrates wicket.
NAM vs NED T20 World Cup Live Score: Namibia suffered an early setback, losing opener Lauren Steenkamp to Aryan Dutt in the third over. Dutt gave Holland an early breakthrough, removing Steenkamp with 6 off 6 balls. Looking to get back to winning ways, the Netherlands won the toss and chose to play Namibia. Namibia open their T20 World Cup campaign in Delhi on Tuesday. Although it doesn’t get as much attention as other matches, this match is extremely important for both teams and for the group. Namibia and the Netherlands are in Group A along with the United States, India and Pakistan. A loss in today’s game will bring both teams closer to elimination. Namibia have been consistently competing in the ICC recently, and this will be their fourth consecutive World Cup appearance after the African qualifying tournament. This is also their first T20I since their thrilling final-over win against South Africa in October last year.
Meanwhile, Netherlands have already started their tour despite losing their opening match to Pakistan. Chasing a target of 148 runs, Pakistan reached 148/7 in 19.3 overs but had to rely on the brilliance of Faheem Ashraf (29*). Meanwhile, the Dutchman scored 147 in 29.5 overs in his first innings. Ahead of the match against Namibia, Dutch all-rounder Saqib Zulfiqar said: “I think this is great because as an associate country you always have to do your bit with less money. So it’s very nice to play against the best team in the world and it really shows where we are competing and we might have won more games than we actually won in this tournament.”
