Commentary

Thanks for sticking with us, folks! This was fun. It is Rudransh and Bidipto signing off for Sportskeeda!
All over! The Netherlands XI have won their third match in a row and this one is a clinical and special win against a really good team.

Netherlands XI beat Germany by six wickets!

Clayton Floyd 42 (20) |Arnav Jain (3/31)
Fayaz Khan 25 (11) | Abdul Basir (2/20)

This is a complete team performance from the Dutch. It was total cricket, if you want to call it that after taking inspiration from the senior Dutch team. They kept the Germans down to a sub-par score and went about the chase in a professional manner.

Fayaz dismissed Musa early but Floyd and Rasool's second-wicket partnership kept up with the required rate without losing any wickets for over five overs, effectively killing the chase.

Basir gave a bit of a scare by picking up a couple of wickets in just one over but Rasool held one end brilliantly and Zulfiqar and Braat hit boundaries from the get go to avoid getting any pressure from the bowlers.
9.1 Sajid Liaqat to Shirase Rasool, FINISHED OFF IN STYLE WITH A BOUNDARY! NETHERLANDS XI WIN ANOTHER ONE THIS WEEK! Full around off-stump. Blasted off the thick inside edge past the left of the non-striker and down to long-on for a boundary! 
Sajid Liaqat, RHB, comes into the attack

And here comes the finishing touch! Fayaz after a really good opening over was trusted to do the job in the crucial ninth but has fumbled under the pressure here with his host of looseners.

That should seal it...

Sebastiaan Braat, RHB, comes to the crease
8.4 Fayaz Khan to Sikander Zulfiqar, CAUGHT! Full around off-stump. Zulfiqar goes for the lofted shot over cover but fails to middle it. Mid-off moves back, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a fine catch!

8.3 Fayaz Khan to Sikander Zulfiqar, FOUR RUNS! Length ball wide of off-stump. Dragged around to the right of long-on and left of deep mid-wicket for a boundary!

8.1 Fayaz Khan to Shirase Rasool, full toss down the leg-side. A miss of the hoick over mid-on but the batters get a leg-bye to point. 
Fayaz Khan [1-0-11-1] comes back into the attack

23 needed off 12, the match is on a knife edge's again. I know it's a T10 match and these totals are chased but the Netherlands have looked slightly fidgety under pressure.
