Scorecard
Ireland made short work of Netherlands on the third day, taking their six remaining second-innings wickets to complete victory by an innings and 84 runs in Dublin.
Trent Johnston had started the slide on the second evening, picking three wickets as Netherlands stumbled to 71 for 4. There was no respite on the third morning, with Allan Eastwood and Albert van der Merwe sharing the spoils in the early finish. Nick Statham perished first, edging Eastman to third slip after a 39-run stand with Peter Borren that raised hopes of avoiding the innings defeat. Tom Heggelman struck three fours in his 16 as the score crept into three figures before Eastwood dismissed him for his second wicket of the day. Pieter Seelaar and Maurits Jonkman fell in the same over from van der Merwe and it seemed like Borren would be stranded without partners.
Eastwood intervened again in the 39th over of the innings, trapping Borren in front for 37, and the win was sealed in the next over when Bernard Loots offered van der Merwe a return catch. George Dockrell, who had indulged himself with four wickets in the first innings, only got two overs to bowl in the second as Netherlands succumbed in quick time, giving Ireland a memorable win.
