Engelbrecht, Van Beek's maiden fifties push Netherlands past 260
South African-born Sybrand Engelbrecht and Logan van Beek led a remarkable recovery with maiden half-centuries to help the Netherlands post a fighting 262 against Sri Lanka in the World Cup here on Saturday.
The 35-year-old Engelbrech, who had retired from all forms of cricket after playing for Cape Cobras in South Africa in 2016 only to be back playing for the Netherlands, was at his best during a gritty 82-ball 70.
Engelbrecht, who came in at No 7, hit one six and four fours in his knock and shared a 130-run partnership with No 8 batter Van Beek who also secured a maiden fifty as they turned the tide for the Dutch after they were reeling at 91 for six in the 22nd over.
