By Jamie Alter

England’s day began sloppily, reached a crescendo when they couldn’t hit the stumps, catch a ball or remember where to stand, but their batsmen managed to get it all together and held their nerve to wrap up an absorbing game in Nagpur. In a match that Netherlands threatened to run away with, Ryan ten Doeschate produced a stirring century to set England a target of 293, but ultimately, the stronger side was able to seal a six-wicket win with eight deliveries remaining.

Netherlands look to surprise big teams

The Netherlands are hoping luck, obscurity and good preparation will help them spring a surprise on bigger teams as they start their fourth World Cup this month.

Big-hitting Ten Doeschate carries Dutch hopes

The Netherlands enter their fourth World Cup buoyed by some famous wins in the past two years and a powerful batting line-up as they seek to battle past the first round for the first time. The Dutch competed in 1996, 2003 and 2007 but have never beaten an ICC full member country at the 50-over showpiece, although they boast wins over Namibia and Scotland.
