New Delhi: There was a big upset in the World Cup qualifier match played between West Indies and Netherlands. Netherlands beat West Indies by 22 runs in super over. Player of the match was Logan van Beek. While he created history by hitting 30 runs in the super over, he took 2 wickets in the bowling and defeated the Windies. The special thing is that Logan was dismissed on the last ball of the 50th over. Then the team needed just 1 run to win. However, after this, when he came to play in the Super Over, he made up for it with bat and ball and gave the Netherlands a resounding victory.
I’ll wait 13-14 years to do it again
Logan Van Beek said after the match – I cannot explain it at this time. We wanted to do something special. The more Scott and Teja batted, the more confidence we got. I have been playing since 13-14 years. In that case winning one out of all the matches I have lost is very satisfying. I will wait for 13-14 years to do it again.

disappointed at losing his wicket
What were you thinking last time? In response to this, Bek said – I was just concentrating on the game. I hit when the bowler missed, but I was disappointed with the last ball where I hit it towards mid-on and lost my wicket. I said in my mind that if it has to happen then it has to happen. Thankfully I got some relief.
An encounter to remember!

To be given a chance to go to the World Cup is a big deal
What does the result mean for the team? In response to this question, Bek said – In the last 18 months, we have created such a culture. We played a lot of Super League games last year and we were on the other end of the losing side. To come here and give myself a chance to go to the World Cup in tough times is huge. We will enjoy tonight and then look forward to the next match.
