That's a wrap from us then!! That concludes an amazing Group B final, the Netherlands XI proved their invincibility and went all the way through unscathed to become champions. We will meet again in some other game, until then this is Chinmay Ranjan signing off along with my co-commentator Shashank Surly and scorer Ashok Dalmia. Goodnight and goodbye :)
Netherlands have won this match by 15 runs. What an awesome final this has been as both the teams played out their hearts and in the end it was Netherlands who got through the line and became the GROUP B champion of this European T10 League.
It was the all end effort from the Netherlands team who set the target of 135 runs after getting forced into bat first by the Denmark skipper. Elenbaas and Zulfiqar's hard hitting cameo in the end helped them get this score after a difficult start.
After coming into chase, Denmark had a pretty bad start loosing two early wickets. After that it was the innings of Saran Aslam and Magnus Kristensen where Kristensen was the pick of the batters for Denmark who scored 57 runs of 21 balls. But this innings was not enough for the Denmark team to reach to the total.
Netherlands bowlers were quite good in the middle and starting phase as well. Aryan Dutt and Vivian Kingma were pick of the bowlers who took 3 and 2 wickets respectively to restrict their oppositions achieve their target.
Denmark are a side on the rise and they gave the Dutch a good run for their money, but the hurdle was just 15 runs too high for them in the end. That concludes the Group B competition of the European Cricket Championship 2022, once again it's the Netherlands XI who are victorious in the Group B.
Netherlands XI are the first team in the competition's history to win the tournament as invincible, they played a total of10 games and won all of them.
