Peter Borren and Tom Cooper destroyed the Afghanistan batting line-up, restricting them to 153 all out before Netherlands overhauled the target in just the 27th over in the ICC World Cricket League Championship. Borren claimed four for 32 and Copper took three for 11 as only Mohammad Nabi managed a decent score with 41. Alexei Kervezee then smashed a 63-ball 83 as Netherlands recorded a convincing nine-wicket win.
