Middle-order batter Noah Croes also chipped in with a valuable 34* and the right-hander suggested it was close to the perfect all-round performance.
“Yeah, good performance all in all,” Croes told Netherlands Cricket after the win.
“The bowlers set the tone up front. It was nice to take a few early wickets. I thought Alex and Kyle (Klein)’s first spells were really good. There was pressure from both ends and then the spinners held the game together with Logan (van Beek) and Bas (de Leede) and everyone chipping in. So I think we did a really good job to restrict them to that total.
“And I think with the bat, there was a bit of a grind out there, but Scotty batted really well out there. Just grinded our way all out the end and got the result, so that was good. Our games sort of complement each other, scoring in similar areas. So it was nice to spend some time around the middle with him.”
