USA 196/6 (20)
We have a contest on our hands. A target of 197 is substantial, but with dew expected to play a role, Netherlands will back their batting depth to mount the chase. Ali Khan has the new ball. It’s game on.
Shadley van Schalkwyk goes to the wobble seam and strikes immediately. He pitches it on a tight length around middle and leg, drawing Colin Ackermann forward. The flick is mistimed, doesn’t stay down, and travels straight to mid-wicket.
Shubham Ranjane makes no mistake, pouching a straightforward catch. USA seize the momentum heading into the drinks break, with Ackermann gone for a first-ball duck.
Harmeet Singh gets his third wicket and Netherlands lost their sixth. Skipper Scott Edwards, who were last hope also heads back to the pavilion for 20 after getting his stumps rattled. The USA are eying their first victory of the World Cup.
NED 75/6 (10)
Shadley van Schalkwyk dismisses Fred Klaassen to bundle the Netherland innings for 103 and with it the USA have registered a huge 93-run win over the Netherlands. Harmeet Singh was the pick of the bowlers for the USA as he send four Dutch batter back to the hut and played an instrumental role in his team's win.
NED 103 (15.5)
That's a wrap from our end. We'll be back with another blog soon, until then, bye bye.
