The Netherlands simply refused to go Dutch and defeated England by four wickets in a dramatic last ball finish to give the second ICC World Twenty20 competition a memorable start at Lord’s on Friday. Chasing 163 to win, the Netherlands got home thanks to a Stuart Broad overthrow off the final ball.
It is not as if the Dutch rode on good fortune alone. It must be said they worked hard to deserve every bit of luck that went their way on the inaugural day of the tournament. England openers Ravi Bopara and Luke Wright put on a century stand in 11 overs but the team was made to lose their way in the remaining nine overs of their innings.
From 102 without loss, England finished with 162 for five, striking just one four in that inexplicable spell of sluggish scoring – and wishing that Kevin Pietersen had not pulled out of the game with an injury. The century stand was the only time that England had something going for them. In fact, a one-sided match looked on the cards.
Edgar Schiferli (5 not out) and Ryan ten Doeschate (22 not out) scampered through for an over-throw for the second run needed off the last ball to give Dutch cricket its finest moment.
Tom de Grooth's 49 off 30 balls led the way for the Netherlands but it was a fine all-round display from the Associate nation to shock the hosts. England's 162-5 had been underpinned by an outstanding knock of 71 off 49 balls by Luke Wright but it was not to be quite enough.
Alexei Kervezee (1) fell in the first over of the run-chase when he pulled James Anderson to Stuart Broad at mid-on. Darron Reekers (20 off 13 balls) gave the Dutch a boost in the next over when he pulled Ryan Sidebottom for a huge six, much to the delight of those in the stands decked out in orange.
Reekers then repeated the trick off Anderson in the next over - this time flatter and over square leg. The New Zealand-born batsman chanced his arm once too often in the next over, the first from Broad, when another pull shot lobbed up to Owais Shah, who took a comfortable catch at midwicket.
De Grooth brought up the 50 in emphatic style at the end of the sixth over when he thumped Broad into the pavilion for six. The right-hander greeted Adil Rashid's second ball with a reverse-sweep to the boundary as the Dutch continued to threaten a major surprise.
Rashid struck an important blow in his next over when he spun a leg-break past the bat of the advancing Bas Zuiderent (12) and James Foster effected a neat stumping. The Dutch then picked up another 13 off the remainder of the over to show their setback was only temporary.
At the halfway point the batting side were two ahead of England at the same point, needing 72 off the last 10 overs. Peter Borren (30 off 25 balls) brought the required rate down to close to a run-a-ball when he thumped Paul Collingwood over midwicket for his second six. The England skipper did claim a key wicket at the end of the over, however, when he removed de Grooth one short of his 50.
The fourth-wicket partnership totalled exactly 50 off 30 balls. Next man ten Doeschate played a scintillating cut to the third man boundary off Rashid to help bring the equation down to 35 off the last 5 overs.
Borren should have been run out on 28 but a poor throw from Collingwood made life difficult for Foster, who failed to take the ball with the batsman well out of his crease. The right-hander did fall in the same over, however, when he top-edged a pull to Shah at short third-man.
Twenty one were needed off 18 balls but then Anderson bowled an excellent 18th over - during which he conceded just four runs and claimed the wicket of Daan van Bunge (8), caught by Wright on the cover boundary.
Rashid missed the chance to run out ten Doeschate in the penultimate over and he was made to rue the error when the batsman hit the next ball for four, via Wright's outstretched hands as he attempted a miraculous catch on the boundary.
Seven were then needed off the last over, bowled by Broad, and what proceeded deserves telling in full. The fast bowler should have run out ten Doeschate off his first delivery when he missed from close range as the batting pair attempted a quick single.
History then repeated itself when Schiferli made a desperate dive for the crease as the bowler knocked down the stumps. Replays showed that Broad had dropped the ball and cleaned out the stumps with his hand.
A caught and bowled chance then went begging next ball off ten Doeschate as one run was taken. Yet another scrambled single was achieved from the next delivery and then ten Doeschate took one more to leave Schiferli needing two to win off the last ball, which was achieved in the most dramatic of fashions.
Wright and Ravi Bopara had earlier got the hosts off to flying start by racking up a century stand by the end of the 11th over. Thereafter, however, wickets fell at regular intervals as the Dutch fought back strongly.
Persistent rain during the afternoon had necessitated the opening ceremony to be cancelled but no overs were lost from the match despite play starting 20 minutes later than the scheduled 5.30pm start. England suffered a blow ahead of the match when star batsman Kevin Pietersen was ruled out by a recurrence of his Achilles problem.
Bopara got the tournament, and his side, off to a flyer by slicing the first ball from Dirk Nannes over Bas Zuiderent at backward point for four and then driving the other side of the fielder for another boundary two balls later. England's 50 came up off 39 balls and the 100 came up 32 balls later when Wright slapped a full-toss from Borren to the long-on boundary.
Bopara (46 off 34 balls) fell in the next over when he pulled a ten Doeschate slower ball to wide midwicket and Pieter Seelaar nicely judged a steepling catch. It may not have been a wicket to the slow left-armer but it still enabled Seelaar to indulge his 'penguin' celebration.
Shah (5) followed soon after when he flicked to Kervezee at deep backward square leg off Schiferli. Eoin Morgan (6) was the next to go when he reverse-swept Borren � off another slower ball - to Bas Zuiderent at short third-man.
Seelaar put down a very sharp return catch with Wright on 66 as the attempted late onslaught was led by the opener. Wright finally went in the next over, however, when he holed out to Borren at midwicket off ten Doeschate.
England skipper Collingwood (11) was the last batsman to go when he chipped a full delivery from Seelaar down the throat of long-on. That was not to be the end of the England skipper's despair.
1st Match ICC T20 World Cup 2009 will be played between England and Netherlands on 5th June 2009 at Lords Stadium.
Expectations: As the Cricket’s Birth Place England is the Favouroite for the day as netherland is the new comer in ICC T20 Worldcup. But In T20, it is the Team who performs better is the winner. with 20 overs and 10 wickets team are doing wonders. so in todays match hot favourite is England.
The form of Ravi Bopara, Luke Wright and Kevin Pietersen have made England supporters believe they can go far in this tournament, but the Netherlands are stronger in this format than you might think and it could be closer than Paul Collingwood may have liked, says Andrew Hughes.
The Netherlands had only played four Twenty20 internationals before arriving in England but after some shaky performances, they seem to have discovered their best XI with Eric Szwarczynski likely to drop out, having lost his opening batting slot to Alexei Kervezee and one of Tom de Grooth or Peter Borren taking the final middle order slot.
