The Netherlands won two low-scoring thrillers in a row to spice up Group A in the T20 World Cup. On Tuesday, they defeated Namibia by five wickets in a last-over finish in Geelong to take the lead in the table. Namibia, who had pulled off a stunning upset by defeating 2014 T20 World Cup winners and one of the tournament’s most consistent teams, Sri Lanka, by 55 runs, were limited to 121 batting first. In response, the Netherlands got off to a strong start thanks to Vikramjit Singh’s 39 off 31. Namibia, on the other hand, clawed their way back and dragged the match to the final over, but the Netherlands held firm.

Stats: 3 overs – 18 runs – 2 wickets – ECO: 6.00 | 30* off 30 balls

I believe the prior game experience will help me. They had to contend with losing wickets near the end. We dropped wickets at inopportune periods, and we can learn from that as a team. We have always believed in ourselves, and winning two close games is wonderful. It may allow the squad to play with greater freedom.
