Engelbrecht hits maiden ODI fifty for Dutch at World Cup
Sybrand Engelbrecht hit his maiden one-day international fifty to rescue the Netherlands in their World Cup clash with Sri Lanka on Saturday.
The 35-year-old reached the milestone off 65 balls with three fours and one six as the Dutch returned to action for the first time since their shock win against South Africa.
South African-born Engelbrecht and Logan van Beek helped the Dutch recover from 91-6 to be 187-6 by the end of the 41st over and soon stretched their seventh-wicket stand beyond the 100-run mark.
After winning the toss and choosing to bat, the Netherlands saw recalled seamer Kasun Rajitha send back Vikramjit Singh (four), Max O'Dowd (16) and Colin Ackermann (29) as the Netherlands slipped to 54-3.
Bas de Leede (six) and Teja Nidamanuru (nine) were picked up by Dilshan Madushanka before spinner Maheesh Theekshana grabbed the key wicket of skipper Colin Edwards (16).
The Dutch went 20 overs without hitting a boundary before Engelbrecht and Van Beek launched their rescue act.
Sri Lanka are the only team in the 10-nation tournament yet to win a game after three successive defeats.
