[Saba Sports News] At the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, England overcame their losing streak with a decisive 160-run victory against the Netherlands.
Both teams, already eliminated from the World Cup, aimed to salvage pride. Dutch all-rounder Logan van Beek humorously recounted his first ‘nutmeg’ wicket of Joe Root, who misfired a ramp shot in the 21st over.
In a post-match reflection, van Beek shared the amusing moment and discussed celebrating his family’s visit to India with a traditional ‘teeka’ welcome.
England’s innings was bolstered by Ben Stokes’ century and significant half-centuries from Dawid Malan and Chris Woakes. The Netherlands’ Bas de Leede took three wickets, while van Beek and Aryan Dutt each took two.
England’s bowlers, led by Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid, secured the win by dismissing the Dutch for 179 runs.
