Netherlands defeat England in a thriller - ICC T20 World Cup opens with a surprise



Shocking defeat for host England at the hands of Netherlands, one of the weaker sides considered in international cricket. England placed in a tight situation with a must win situation against Pakistan. 

The summary of the match:

England started very well with both the openers Ravi Bopara continuing his good batting form scoring 46 runs while his partner Luke Wright with a brilliant 71 runs was the star performer for England. 

England went ahead to score 162 for 5 (Wright 71, Bopara 46) 

A dream win for Netherlands (Holland) in this ICC T20 World Cup. de Grooth of Netherlands blazed with the bat scoring an invaluable 49 runs to guide the team to victory. The middle order also gave vital support with some valuable knocks by P Borren (30 of 25 balls) and RN ten Doeschate ( 22 of 17 balls).

Netherlands 163 for 6 (de Grooth 49, Borren 30, Anderson 3-23)
