Netherlands needed just 137 to win in 50 overs. The rediff.com expert reckoned that they would get at least 180.
The Dutch innings therefore opened with a pressure index (PI) of just 43. The PI never went past even the 50-mark, and, at 102/2 after 20 overs, the PI was just 15.
Mercifully the match ended just before the innings' half-way mark with Netherlands ending their 2007 World Cup campaign with a win. As for Scotland, they looked to be the minnow among the minnows.
