„I can’t explain it,” said man of the match Logan Van Beek. Chasing 375 against the West Indies, the Netherlands were in trouble needing 205 more from the remaining 125 balls. Who would have known that they would end up with 204 in a frantic finish that would push the game into a super over?

But before Van Beek batted like a free spirit, Teja Nidamanuru and his captain Scott Edwards put on 143 for the fifth wicket, giving the Netherlands hope from a very helpless situation. That stand took only 90 deliveries. But they hurriedly lost 3 wickets for 14 runs before needing 30 runs in the last two overs.

None other than Van Beek in Greece. The first three legal deliveries of the 49th over went 4, 6, 4. Nine runs were needed off six balls. Four more from Van Beek. But there was a twist. To get a ball off the last ball, he swung it to mid-on, where Jason Holder fell to his right to catch the ball. It will only be given by Alsari Joseph’s front foot Just Being within bounds.
