1st ODI: Teja Nidamanuru shines for Netherlands but Shai Hope's century wins it for West Indies
West Indies opener Shai Hope struck his eleventh one-day international century to lead his team to a seven-wicket win over the Netherlands in Amstelveen on Tuesday, in a game reduced to 45 overs, after Teja Nidamanuru marked his ODI debut with a half-century for the Dutch. Although Netherlands only made 240 for seven, the target was adjusted under the Duckworth Lewis method to 247 which the West Indies passed with 11 balls to spare. Hope, who made 119 not out, and fellow opener Shamarh Brooks quickly got to grips with the damp conditions that allowed the Dutch seamers to move the ball around, adding 120 for the first wicket. Brooks rattled out 60 from 67 balls before Logan van Beek dismissed him with a superb return catch. Van Beek removed Nkrumah Bonner leg before first ball and Aryan Dutt bowled Nicholas Pooran for seven to leave the West Indies in slightly dangerous territory at 133 for three.
