Zimbabwe v Netherlands

Zimbabwe v Netherlands (Zimbabwe won by six wickets)

Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe all-rounder and Player of the Match (4/55, 102not out): “As much as I am smiling, the job is not done yet. We back ourselves, we had Pakistan A for six games and we chased 300 plus. I just wanted to go out there, the platform was already set, I just wanted to stay humble, and respect every ball but if it was there, I went for it. As long as we win the game, we are happy and we are happy for each other's performance and support each other. We are thankful for the wonderful support.”

Scott Edwards, Netherlands captain: “I thought we had ourselves in the game at 315. That is definitely enough to win the game but it's a good wicket. We dropped catches, they batted well. The conditions were different to what they were when we played here a couple of months ago. It was pretty good throughout the game. We had to bowl and field better. Raza is a serious batter. If their batters in the top order get going, they can be dangerous. We did not bowl our best and they capitalized. These tournaments come quick and fast, you’ve got to put (the loss) behind you. We have some positives (from this game). It's a long tournament.”

Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine: “We were not particularly great with the ball again, but credit to (Sean) Williams and Raza the way they just pretty much cantered through. The ball striking from them was phenomenal. It was a little bit of a tricky start but it was a really good wicket. Once you get going, it is difficult to restrict. We wanted to restrict them to 290 to 300, but we finished the innings well. We were still happy with 315. It's tricky having so many options. Sometimes it makes it harder to make the decision. Raza bowled exceptionally well and our spinners have been the key for us in the middle overs.”
