Curtailed Dutch Pro Series finishes under cloudy skies with two more Seafarers wins

Stephan-Myburgh-Netherlands

The 2020 Pro Series ended on a somewhat anticlimactic note on Thursday, with the Seafarers winning their second T20 against the Hurricanes in as many days and the remaining games cancelled, as the projected internationals against Germany had been.

These two matches nevertheless gave some of the KNCB’s young hopefuls another workout, and if this week’s games lacked the sort of highlights that the first set had seen, there were still some encouraging performances.

At Thurlede on Wednesday Tonny Staal’s Seafarers, having elected to bat first, seized the initiative at once, with a 59-run opening stand from just 29 deliveries between Tobias Visée and Stef Myburgh, and this was an advantage they never surrendered.

Visée’s 15-ball 27, with three sixes, was matched by Myburgh’s 47 from 26 deliveries, including nine fours, and while Clayton Floyd chipped away with three for 20 from his four overs, a solid 33 not out from Boris Gorlee took the southerners up to 157 for six.

The Hurricanes were never able to create a comparable momentum, not even when Salland’s Victor Lubbers (24 from 19 balls) and Ben Cooper (29 from 21) were building a useful second-wicket stand, and with Pierre Jacod, Max Hoornweg and Musa Nadeem Ahmad all keeping the run rate down, they finished on 138 for seven.

It was a similar story at Maarschalkerweerd on Thursday, where the Hurricanes, this time batting first, again struggled to break the shackles.

Cooper (25), Vikram Singh (29) and Aryan Dutt (25) all got a start, but with Sebastiaan Braat taking three for 26 the northerners fell just short of six an over, their 119 for seven a very modest total by current standards.

Rain between the innings brought a two-over reduction and a revised target of 111, and although Julian de Mey had the satisfaction of removing his HBS teammate Visée for 14, Musa Ahmad with 21 and Shirase Rasool with 30 at almost a run a ball set the Seafarers on course for victory.

No-one played a truly decisive knock, but the bits and pieces were enough to see Staal’s side home with nine deliveries to spare.
