Zimbabwe vs Netherlands Highlights T20 World Cup 2022 Score: O'Dowd (52), Cooper (32) fire NED to first victory in Group 2

Well that's it from this game. Now it's time for the big event of today - India vs Bangladesh! Follow the LIVE updates here. 

Craig Ervine (Zimbabwe Captain): It was one of those tosses where we were split, whether to bowl or bat. I just thought that credit to Netherlands for their powerplay bowling to put us under the pump. Raza and Williams did really well to get us back into the game but unfortunately we couldn't finish it off. With the ball, we didn't find enough movement with the ball. Credit to Netherlands for the win.

Scott Edwards (Netherlands Captain): Awesome. We came here to win some games at the Super 12. Good to get the ball rolling after a rocking start. Bowlers were sensational, the top four got us pretty close to the total too. Max has been sensational for the past 4-5 years. He rocks up at big occasions.

Max O'Dowd (52 off 47 balls) - Player of the Match: Pretty scrappy to start, I was trying to adapt to the conditions as quickly as possible. Took a while to adapt against those tall Zimbabwe bowlers. There was more movement in the wicket when we were bowling. I could trust the bounce, we were pretty lucky.

Netherlands win by 5 Wickets.

ALMOST! de Leede charges out and goes for the glory shot but is beaten completely. Chakabva has enough time but fumbles once and then again as he tries to lift the ball and whip off the bails. de Leede can’t believe his luck. He swings twice and misses but finally connects on the final delivery to seal the win with a FOUR. 

Netherlands 120/5 after 18 overs. 

FOUR! Finally de Leede connects with a slap straight down the ground to seal the WIN!

What an over from Ngarava! de Leede guides the 1st delivery to backward point for a single. CAUGHT! Edwards then flays across the line only to get an edge back to the keeper. van der Merwe walks out and is greeted by three top deliveries from Ngarava. Just the 1 run comes off the over. 

Netherlands 116/5 after 17 overs.

CAUGHT! O’Dowd can’t bat through as he slices the ball straight to Shumba who this time does really well to time his jump and pluck the ball as it was whizzing past over his head. Edwards meanwhile walks out and gets on the move as he slices the 2nd delivery for FOUR. Both batters grab singles off the next two balls. 6 runs and a wicket come off the over. 

Netherlands 115/4 after 16 overs. 

FOUR! Off the mark in style as Dutch captain Scott Edwards cuts it past backward point.
