3.6
van Meekeren to Tamim Iqbal, 2 runs, slow and short outside off, offcutter maybe. Tamim drags it from very wide outside off to midwicket for two. Square leg has to run around to clean up
 

Riert: "Oh, how I'm looking forward to some Dutch magic this tourney again. Go Orange!"

 
3.5
van Meekeren to Tamim Iqbal, 2 runs, slightly short and pulled away. Not properly timed but finds a decent gap at midwicket for a couple.
3.4
van Meekeren to Tamim Iqbal, no run, runs down to the pitch and mis-times a powerful drive to mid-off. Van Meekeren hitting good lengths consistently
3.3
van Meekeren to Tamim Iqbal, no run, loose waft. Good delivery. Full and wide outside off, just enough away shape to deviate past the flashing blade of Tamim
 

Drew: "'Early signs of a slow pitch, without much bounce.' So in other words, nothing like the Wanderers? It's amazing how often everyone around the world, captain's included, get the prediction of the pitch/conditions wrong so consistently"

 
3.2
van Meekeren to Sabbir Rahman, 1 leg bye, aah, too straight and lets Sabbir get to the other end. Fullish on Sabbir's pads, and it pings off towards short fine leg
 

In comes the in-form Sabbir Rahman. A slip in

 
3.1
van Meekeren to Soumya Sarkar, OUT, gone. First ball from van Meekeren. Big wicket and Netherlands have the early wicket. Short and wide, but not wide enough for Sarkar to flay his hands at it. he does so and gets a thin feather through to the keeper. Did not find any timing or fluency in that innings

Soumya Sarkar c †Barresi b van Meekeren 15 (13b 2x4 0x6) SR: 115.38
 

Not much of a need for a slip on a slow surface. Good captaincy by Borren.
