Netherlands never quite gave up and slid past England in an exciting chase involving the England Target and Duckworth Lewis. And Netherlands didn’t win like minnows, albeit kept ahead of Duckworth-Lewis  Method throughout the game.

The major contributors to the win were Tom de Grooth and the never-give-up RN Ten Doeschate. Read more about Doeschate in the onedayers.com website, whom they have been trackig for many years and have marked him for special attention all the time. Hats off!
