This is regarded as one of the best encounters in World T20Is. England might have been a disappointment for many years in World Cups, but losing against Netherlands had never crossed anyone’s minds.

Given that England were also playing at home, the opening game at Lord’s was supposed to be a one-sided encounter. And after posting an impressive total of 162/5, thanks to Luke Wright’s 71 off 49, the match was thought to be all but in England’s grasp.

Or was it?

The game swung around like a see-saw until the very end of this enthralling chase, but Ryan ten Doeschate’s 17-ball 22 got the Dutch over the line on the last ball of the match, making it one of the greatest last-ball finishes.
