Australia v/s Netherlands (Group A) at St. Kitts
Australia 358/5 in 50 overs (Hodge 123, MJ Clarke 93*) beat Netherlands 129/10 in 26.5 overs (B Hogg 27/4) by 229 runs.
Match home
Australia dished out another minnow bashing by annihilating Holland by 229 runs. This is their second successive 200+ run win at this world cup, and their third successive 300+ world cup score. They certainly seemed to have mastered the art of beating the minnows.
One must question the wisdom of associate teams getting routinely thrashed by top countries like Australia, SA and SL. The best way to give them exposure and help develop their cricket would be to play them against the volatile and unpredictable sub-continent teams India and Pakistan - given how prone they are to upsets.
