...Presentation time..
Netherlands won the first game with ease and had a chance to seal in the second game but gave away from being in a commanding position. However, the third game turned out to be a one-sided affair as the host completed a fine comeback.
Netherlands needed wickets and that too early on but failed dearly. They never looked like they will make a comeback anytime. Shariz Ahmad got two wickets in quick time but that too didn't help much. Frankly, Netherlands were short of runs, they needed their batting to click in this must win game but Zimbabwe showed class with the ball and sealed the series with ease. Good comeback from the home team after being 1-0 down.
A comfortable win for Zimbabwe and with that they clinch the series. They made it look so easy. Zimbabwe were chasing an under-par score and got a perfect start from Wesley Madhevere and Ervine. There were not many risky shots and played it firmly. Just around 100, Zimbabwe lost both in quick succession but then Gary Ballance and Sean Williams stitched another big partnership to finish it off. Gary Ballance showed his experience as he scored a fifty and stayed till end to work it out.

COMMENTARY
End of over
ZIM235/3 (41.4 Ovs)
We are back. The players are out in the middle. Colin Ackermann to start with the ball.
...THE CHASE...
All to play for then in the second half, Zimbabwe will back themselves to chase this down despite there being turn on this wicket. Netherlands on the other hand, will have to bowl if they are to defend this. Join us for the chase in a bit.
For Zimbabwe, it is the spinners who did the trick. The likes of Sikandar Raza, Sean Williams and Wesley Madhevere were really good. Blessing Muzarabani bowled just the 6 overs but he impressed in those 6. Overall, Zimbabwe will be very pleased with how they bowled but not pleased with how they fielded. Had they been better on the field, Netherlands might have not got to the 200-run mark too. Still though, they will feel they are in a good position in this game.
That is a really good bowling performance from Zimbabwe! You can see they walk off the field with happy faces and rightly so. 232 is a score they will back themselves to chase. Also, after the start Netherlands got off too, the hosts pulled things back really well. After electing to bat, Max O'Dowd and Vikramjit Singh got their side off to a really good start. The two added over 50 but both fell in quick succession. Then there were a couple of other stands and a few batters got off to starts but none went onto make it into a significant score. They needed someone to go on and score big but that was not the case. The visitors kept losing wickets at regulat intervals and that meant they are under par at the moment.

...Presentation time..
Netherlands won the first game with ease and had a chance to seal in the second game but gave away from being in a commanding position. However, the third game turned out to be a one-sided affair as the host completed a fine comeback.
Netherlands needed wickets and that too early on but failed dearly. They never looked like they will make a comeback anytime. Shariz Ahmad got two wickets in quick time but that too didn't help much. Frankly, Netherlands were short of runs, they needed their batting to click in this must win game but Zimbabwe showed class with the ball and sealed the series with ease. Good comeback from the home team after being 1-0 down.
A comfortable win for Zimbabwe and with that they clinch the series. They made it look so easy. Zimbabwe were chasing an under-par score and got a perfect start from Wesley Madhevere and Ervine. There were not many risky shots and played it firmly. Just around 100, Zimbabwe lost both in quick succession but then Gary Ballance and Sean Williams stitched another big partnership to finish it off. Gary Ballance showed his experience as he scored a fifty and stayed till end to work it out.
