Zimbabwe skipper Craig Ervine led the way with a brilliant 121 off 128 balls, opening the batting while Sean Williams scored the fastest ODI hundred by a Zimbabwean batter, reaching the landmark off 70 balls against Nepal. However, Zimbabwe bowling was pretty wayward allowing minnows Nepal to pile up 290 runs in the first innings.
Netherlands, on the other hand, batters like their captain Scott Edwards, opener Max O’Dowd and young all-rounder Bas de Leede – who was very impressive in the T20 World Cup last year.
