England crush Netherlands to boost Champions Trophy 2025 hopes

PUNE: Ben Stokes’ scintillating knock of 108 runs, paired up with Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid’s bowling exploits steered England to thump the Netherlands by 179 runs in the ICC World Cup 2023.

The 160-run victory lifted England from the bottom of the table to the seventh place, enhancing their chances of Champions Trophy 2025 qualification.

Set to chase a daunting 340-run target, the Netherlands’ batting unit unfolded for a meagre 179 in the 38th over.

The Dutch side had a dismal start to their pursuit as they lost two wickets with just 13 runs on the board inside the first six overs.

Opening batter Wesley Barresi then partnered with Sybrand Engelbrecht for the third wicket and added 55 runs to the total before the former got run out in the 18th over.

He scored a cautious 37 in 62 deliveries, hitting three boundaries and a six.

The Netherlands then lost two more wickets in quick succession, with their mainstay Engelbrecht also perishing, and consequently slipped to 104/5.

However, a 59-run stand between skipper Scott Edwards and Teja Nidamanuru kept them in the hunt before Moeen Ali spoiled their resistance by getting rid of Edwards, who scored 38 off 42.

Meanwhile, Nidamanuru stood his ground firm but lost partners at the other end as the Netherlands’ batting tail crumbled against the defending champions.

He remained unbeaten with a gutsy 41. His 34-ball knock featured two boundaries and three sixes.

Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid led the bowling attack for England with three wickets each while David Willey bagged two.

England after winning the toss, lost opening batter Jonny Bairstow with 48 runs on the board in seven overs.

Dawid Malan and Joe Root then knitted an 85-run partnership for the second wicket to push England’s total to 133 before the former was bowled through his legs by Logan Van Beek while attempting a reverse scoop.

Ben Stokes came in at number four but in the next over, Malan was run out leaving England reeling at 133-2, which soon turned into 192-6 courtesy of Netherlands’ disciplined bowling.

Malan played a blistering knock of 87 runs from 74 balls, featuring 10 boundaries and two sixes.

Meanwhile, Ben Stokes completed his maiden hundred in the World Cup before he was dismissed by Logan van Beek.

Roy’s ton propels England to complete clean sweep over Netherlands

AMSTELVEEN: England’s explosive opener Jason Roy scored a blistering century to help the touring side chase down the 245-run target in the 30.1 overs and complete the clean sweep over the Netherlands.

Set to chase 245, England excelled to the victory by eight wickets and 119 balls to spare at the back of Roy’s unbeaten century.

The touring side were off to a flying start as the opening pair of Roy and Phil Salt was scoring at a rapid pace; allowing the side to amass 80 runs in just the 10th over.

Salt, on the other hand, who was eyeing his half-century, fell one short of it as Paul van Meekeren castled the former, who scored 49 off 30 balls, laced with nine boundaries.

The touring side, lost another wicket in the 10th over as Dawid Malan bagged a two-ball duck and as a result, slipped to 85/2 in 10 overs.

Roy then joined hands with the interim captain Joe Buttler and put on an unbeaten 163-run partnership to steer the side to the victory in the 31st over.

Roy top-scored for the side with his century and remained not-out on 101 off just 86 deliveries, laced with 15 boundaries. Buttler, on the other hand, remained unbeaten with his blistering half-century knock of 86 off just 64 balls with the help of seven boundaries and five sixes.

For the Netherlands, van Meekeren was the only bowler to find success and made two scalps, which came in the same over.

Batting first, the English bowlers completely dominated the Dutch batting line-up; bowling them out for 244 in the 50th over.

Max O’Dowd, Bas de Leede, and Scott Edwards led the way with half-centuries but were a touch too slow as their knocks could not bolster the home side to a defendable total.

The rest of the batters had no answers to the strong English bowling attack and fell after scoring cheaply. Tom Cooper was the other batter, who made a significant contribution as he scored 33.

For England, David Willey led the way with four wickets, while Brydon Carse picked two. David Payne, Liam Livingstone, and Adil Rashid made one scalp each.

Following their clean sweep victory over the Netherlands in the series, England have replaced Bangladesh from the top of the ICC ODI World Cup Super League.

Roy, Salt shine as England blunt Netherlands in a rain-hit second ODI

AMSTELVEEN: Openers Jason Roy and Phil Salt led the charge for England to take their side to a comfortable victory by six wickets against the Netherlands in the rain-hit second ODI, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, here on Sunday.

Set to chase 236 runs, England batters completely dominated the opposition in a match reduced to 41 overs-per-side as wet outfield delayed the start by nearly three hours.

After scoring the highest ODI total in the previous game, the energetic England side came out on the crease with a similar force, bringing up 100 runs in the 15th over.

Roy, who fell cheaply in the last game, joined the party this time as he glittered with a powerful 73 runs knock, laced with 13 fours and a six. Whereas, Salt blasted 77 off 54 including 9 boundaries.

England skipper Eoin Morgan, continued with his dismal form when he was dismissed on a duck for the second time in the series. Meanwhile, Liam Livingstone failed to impress this time as he was bowled out by Tim Pringle cheaply.

The left-handed duo of Dawid Malan and Moeen Ali, however, crushed the Dutch bowlers again after a hiccup in middle and took their side home with the blistering knocks of 36 and 42, respectively.

Opting to bat first after winning the toss, the Dutch side set a total of 235 with skipper Scott Edwards leading the way for his team with a brilliant 78 off 73 deliveries.

Teja Nidamanuru joined Edwards to raise a firm fifth-wicket partnership of 73 runs when the hosts were suffering at 97/4. Logan van Beek put up a steady knock after David Willey bowled out Nidamauru and also got rid of Edwards through run out. Shane Snater played a cameo of unbeaten 17 off 10 balls.

England now have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series against the hosts while the dead rubber match will be played on Wednesday.

Buttler’s onslaught powers England to better their ODI World Record

AMSTERDAM: England National Men’s Cricket Team have smashed the highest total in the history of ODI cricket as the touring side finished at 498/4 in the allotted 50 overs in the first ODI, here on Friday.

England’s wicket-keeper batter Jos Buttler carried on his sublime form with the bat and propelled his side to the highest ODI total.

In the record-breaking innings, England were off to an unwanted as the side lost their explosive batter Jason Roy, who was castled by his cousin Shane Snater for a combined score of one.

The young opener Phil Salt alongside the former top-ranked T20I batter Dawid Malan then anchored the innings and laid the foundation of a commendable total.

The pair put on a magnificent 222-run stand for the second wicket with both scoring centuries before Salt fell to Logan van Beek in the 30th over. He scored 122 off just 93 balls with the help of 14 boundaries and three sixes.

Malan, however, who was a touch slow then entered into another match-defining partnership with England’s hero of the day Buttler.

Buttler’s astounding knock then changed the dynamics of the match as his blistering century soon saw England cross the 400-run mark in the 44th over.

In the 45th over, the depleted home side found a moment to cherish as Pieter Seelaar struck twice in two consecutive balls to remove Malan and the skipper Eoin Morgan.

The left-handed batter faced only 109 deliveries and smashed a dozen boundaries including three sixes in his anchoring knock of 125 runs. Captain Morgan, on the other hand, bagged a golden duck in a high-scoring match.

The sudden blow, however, did not affect the touring side much as the newly-arrived Liam Livingstone joined the party and sailed the ball all over the park.

The right-handed batter Livingstone further added to the misery of the home side when he took Phillippe Boissevan’s 46th over for 32 runs with the help of four gigantic sixes and two boundaries.

The touring side then lost their march toward the 500-run mark by a thin margin as they finished at the new highest ODI total of 498/4 in the allotted 50 overs.

England’s top-scorer Buttler remained unbeaten on 162 off just 70 deliveries, laced with seven boundaries and 14 sixes. His 150 was the joint-fastest in the ODIs.

Livingstone, on the other hand, who earlier missed the opportunity to smash the fastest ODI fifty finished not-out on 66 off just 22 balls including six boundaries and as many sixes. The right-handed batter, however, has marked himself into the record book with the second-fastest ODI fifty after South Africa’s Ab de Villers.

The home side bowlers had a day to forget as they were taken for plenty in their respective allotted overs. Seelaar, however, was their pick of the bowlers with his two wickets while van Beek remained the most economical with a wicket.

It is pertinent to mention here that England have bettered their own record of the highest ODI total. The second-ranked ODI side previously scored 481/5 against Australia in 2018.
