9.6
Shakib Al Hasan to Borren, 1 run, pinch a run. Good batting. Pats the slower ball with soft hands towards point and get through for one.
9.5
Shakib Al Hasan to Borren, no run, tossed up, slower outside off. Pushed to cover
9.4
Shakib Al Hasan to BN Cooper, 1 run, flat on middle, worked to deep midwicket
9.3
Shakib Al Hasan to Borren, 1 leg bye, what has happened there? Is the umpire is going up for an obstructing the field dismissal? Borren goes through with a run to short third man and the throw is to the non-strikers end. Borren, while looking at the ball all the time, is struck by the ball. Borren did not change his course at all, throughout. And was hit by the ball, more than obstructing it. Not out says the umpire.
9.2
Shakib Al Hasan to Borren, 4 leg byes, four more fortuitous runs. Flat on middle, Borren comes down but the ball deflects off the pad towards the fine leg boundary. Big appeal
 

BinodReg: "Match perfectly setup for shakib to gain his form. My bet on him to pick up key wickets in the middle overs. His spell will be crucial."

 
9.1
Shakib Al Hasan to BN Cooper, 1 run, tossed up, slower on middle. Worked to deep square leg
 

Shakib.

Ashok: "Netherlands should follow India's way of chasing. Take singles and score boundaries on bad balls. Hit in the slog overs"

Animesh: "I have never seem the charm of playing the sweep in the middle overs! I mean these guys play it by default where as a much simpler option is a single to long off or long on!"
