In a rain-curtailed game, the Netherlands secured an astonishing win over Zimbabwe by 7 wickets (DLS Method) in the first ODI of the series. Now, the two teams will stay back here in Deventer to play the second and final ODI which will start at 02:30 PM IST.
Batting first Zimbabwe got only 205 runs on the board after a valiant effort from wicket-keeper batsman Brendan Taylor who got 71 from 85 deliveries which included 7 fours and 2 sixes. None of the other batsmen got going which eventually took the game away from Zimbabwe. A modest chase of 205 was never going to be a tricky one for the home side who cruised to victory with 7 wickets courtesy Max O’ Dowd’s 82 from 118 deliveries.
