Netherlands beaten by Hampshire
Netherlands’ preparations for the ICC World Cup Qualifiers got underway with a 23-run defeat against Hampshire in Cape Town.
Hampshire recovered from 147 for 6 to post 225 for 8 in their 50 overs, Chris Benham’s 78 not out, which included three sixes, leading the fightback.
Netherlands started well, and at 95 for 2 in the 19th over appeared well set. But two quick wickets stalled the momentum and from then on in they were always behind the required rate.
