Belgium win the match by 6 wickets and advance to the finals

What a match we had at our hands. Belgium did an exceptional job to pull back things in their favour with the ball in hand and now, they pull off a chase of 122 runs with an over and a half to spare. They have now advanced into the finals and will face England XI to have their hands on the silverware.

The start to the powerplay for Belgium wasn't the best in particular as they lost a wicket early. Aziz Mohammad watches out the initial phases and then forged two crucial partnerships with Ali Raza and Saber Zakhil. Mohammad struck a masterful 50 and led the charge of his side and took his team over the line.

Nederlands XI underestimated the Belgian batting lineup and paid the price for it. Ryan Klein picked up 2 wickets and was ably supported by Shariz Ahmed and Clayton Floyd who picked up a wicket each. The wickets were never a problem, but they leaked runs aplenty and now have missed out on the finals berth after a humbling defeat.
