Bas de Leede has scored an unbeaten 72 and taken two wickets with the Netherlands hammering Namibia by seven wickets for their first win at the T20 World Cup.
The experienced all-rounder struck key blows with his pace bowling to help restrict Namibia to 156-8 at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium.
De Leede then turned up with the bat to hit five fours and four sixes in his 48-ball knock to help the Netherlands chase down their target with 12 balls to spare.
His third-wicket partnership of 70 with Colin Ackermann, who scored 32, set up the chase before he polished it off with skipper Scott Edwards (18 not out).
It was the Netherlands’ biggest win by wickets at a T20 World Cup.
