Hong Kong vs Netherlands, Live Streaming, ICC World Cricket League Championship, Match 34 at Mong Kok

Hong Kong nearly pulled off a superb win in their previous match against Netherlands.

Hong Kong take on Netherlands in Match 34 of ICC World Cricket League (WCL) at Mission Road Ground, Mong Kok on Thursday. You can catch the live streaming of this match on the official YouTube channel of Hong Kong Cricket. Hong Kong nearly pulled off a superb win in their previous match against Netherlands. Chasing 331 for a win, Netherlands held their nerves and eventually won the match by five runs. We can expect a similar, closely fought once again. With that win, Netherlands now move to the top of the ICC WCL Championship table with 14 points from nine games. Hong Kong on the other hand are placed third in the table with 11 points from nine matches.

Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Netherlands put on a formidable 330 for 7 in their 50 overs. Opener Stephen Myburg, Roelof Van der Merwe and Pieter Seelaar struck fifties to ensure that their team got a big total on the board. Ehsan Nawaz, Aizaz Khan and Ehsan Khan picked up two wickets apiece for Hong Kong. Hong Kong in reply kept a good run rate throughout, but found themselves at 53 for 2 in the ninth over. Skipper Babar Hayat then joined teenager Anshuman Rath at the crease.

The duo added 197 for the third wicket. At the time Hayat fell for 83, Hong Kong were firm favorites to win this match. But Hong Kong lost wickets at regular intervals and eventually fell just short of their target. Chinaman bowler Michael Rippon led Netherlands’ comeback, finishing with 4 for 67 in his 10 overs.
