ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 -- BAN VS NED

NEDTHERLANDS 160  (46.2) BANGLADESH 166/4  (41.2)
PLAYER OF THE MATCH       IMRUL KAYES

Imrul Kayes scored an unbeaten half-century as Bangladesh crushed the Netherlands by 6 wickets in their ICC Cricket World Cup match in Chittagong.Batting first after winning the toss Holland had a pedestrian start although Eric Szwarczynski and Wesley Barresi hung around for nine overs.
A perfect day in the office for Bangladesh! They were clinical in the field, bowled amazingly well and restricted the opponent to a paltry total. Chasing just 161 runs, though they lost Tamim Iqbal early, Kayes and Siddique avoided any hiccups by sharing a 92-run stand and almost sealed the victory in their favour. It was followed by another fifty stand between Kayes and Nafees. They lost few quick wickets in the end but the win never drifted away from their grasp. The Dutch bowlers bowled a tight line and also fielded very well but unfortunately they had very little to defend.
