2014: Ireland v Netherland­s, Sylhet

In the battle between two minnows, the smaller one triumphed in stunning fashion. The Netherland­s needed to score 190 to win, but if it wanted to move into the Super 10, it had to make those runs in 14.2 overs. And it did in 13.5 overs. The chase was set up by opener Stephan Myburgh, who slammed a 23-ball 63, with four fours and seven sixes, including a splendid one over long-on off Alex Cusack. Tom Cooper’s 45 off just 15 balls all but ensured the Dutch would meet the requiremen­t.
