England set 236 off 41 overs to win 2nd ODI

Published on: 

England was set a target of 236 off 41 overs to win the second ODI against the Netherlands on Sunday and clinch the series with a match to spare.

Scott Edwards, filling in as captain in the absence of Pieter Seelaar, top-scored for the Dutch in their total of 235-7 at Amstelveen outside Amsterdam after they won the toss and opted to bat first.

They did the opposite in the first ODI on Friday and saw England smash a world-record 498-4 to set up a victory by 232 runs.

The second ODI was reduced to 41 overs per side because of overnight rain that led to a delayed start due to a wet outfield.
