A superb bowling performance guided Netherlands to a 53-run win over Namibia in match 56 of the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 match, played at the United Cricket Club Ground, Windhoek on Friday, March 7. (More Cricket News)

Despite getting bowled out for 159 runs in 39.1 overs, Netherlands came up trumps comfortably, powered by three-wicket hauls from Aryan Dutt and Zach Lion-Cachet. The hosts' innings folded for just 106 runs in 30 overs, with captain Gerhard Erasmus (31) and Ruben Trumpelmann (25 not out) the only batters to wage some sort of resistance.

Earlier, an 84-run opening stand between Vikramjit Singh (37) and Max O'Dowd (43), and a 47-run knock from Teja Nidamanuru were the only batting efforts worth talking about in the Dutch innings. The match was reduced to a 40-overs-a-side affair due to rain.
