Netherlands are off to a fine start as they reached 51 for no loss in their ICC World T20 2014 Group 1 match, at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong on Thursday.

 

Netherlands need another 95 runs to win from 15 overs.

 

Stephan Myburgh is leading the Dutch charge as he has reached not out off just balls. He has hit six boundaries and two sixes so far.

 

Earlier, Ahsan Malik registered a five-wicket haul to lead Netherlands‘ fight back, as they restricted South Africa to 145 for nine. Asked to bat first, South Africa squandered a rollicking start as they slipped from 75 for two from eight overs to 145 for nine in the 21st match of the T20 World Cup tournament.

 

Malik was the star performer for the Netherlands as he returned with the figures of 4-0-19-5. This performance is the best by any Associate member bowler against a full member nation in Twenty20 Internationals.
