Dutch Women
Dream start Dutch women
Published at 27 April, 2024The Dutch women have started the World Cup qualifying tournament in Abu Dhabi well. 154 Dutch runs were answered with only 54 from Vanuatu.
Orange had a reasonable start; 53/2/7.3 was a promising score, as was 85/3/11.5.
Sterre Kalis formed the backbone of the Dutch innings with a brilliant 70 off 51 balls, contributing well to The Netherlands final score of 154/6.
Vanuatu innings
The Netherlands was sharp in the field. Robine Rijke caught opener Andrew and a little later Silver Siegers caused a run out with a fantastic throw.
Due to tight bowling and fielding, Vanuatu did not get into the game for a moment. It stumbled to 54, with dream figures for Caroline de Lange 2-8, Silver Siegers 2-11, Merel Dekeling 1-7 and Iris Zwilling 1-12.
On Monday, the Netherlands will play its second qualifying match against the UAE, which can be followed live on ICC TV.
