They were never getting 170 mate .....

Well short of 170. Shakib and Mushy are really short of form.

Those two Dutch seamers very impressive .....

Tamin played a really top notch innings in the conditions against a decent attack ......

The Dutch have a strong batting lineup of they get a good start things will be interesting ......

The Dutch Mercenaries just don't belong in an international tournament. C'mon BD!

Another assorted hodge podge fake team. Even their van ders all play cricket overseas. OK maybe i'm exaggerating a bit. Will be interesting games coming up.

Should have if they batted at peak potemtial. 110 after 15, needed a Riyad plus Tamim to get those extra 17 runs dispersed over those final 30 deliveries. Unlikely but doable. Was poor that a) failed to get 160 and b) failed to keep them under 140. Our NRR is horrible, and there is a possibility all groupmmatches get washed out. So if Ireland beats Oman by 9 runs or more, highly likely, they could be through on NRR. Thats what you get when you have Al amin bowling with that hideous action.

Oman pulls on on the Irish! Whats more the game js so close that if the group is all washed out from here BD qualifies over Oman on NRR. Just imagine of Oman were to qualify...
