Man of the Match : R ten Doeschate	Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Jamtha, Nagpur (22 Feb,2011)

COW Analysis:
When Netherland chose to bat we thought we were in for an early trip home. But few overs in to the match we were glad it wasn’t to be. Kervezee, Barresi and Cooper all got starts but couldn’t convert them. After 4wickets fell, NED were 149/4 in 33rd over with COW of 39% and it looked like a collapse was imminent. But a whirlwind century by Ryan ten Doeschate and cameos by de Grooth and Borrens saw NED fight back and post a fighting 292/6 with a COW of 48%. England started off at a blistering pace and by the time KP got out for an unusually slow 39, England were 105/1 after 18 overs with COW of 55%. But once Strauss fell for a rapid 88, NED’s slow bowlers started tightening the things and in the end in boiled down to 33 runs off 24 balls and the experience of Collingwood and Bopara saw them squeeze home.
