Netherlands needed an exceptional start if they were to even come anywhere near to giving the Australians a scare. But Jason Gillespie ensured that the Men in Orange would never be in contention by dismissing opener Daan van Bunge for just eight. Four overs later, he added a second scalp, that of Bas Zuiderent (5 off 17 balls). After Gillespie's devastating opening burst, the result of the game was a foregone conclusion. Almost all the remaining Australian bowlers too got among the wickets, as the world champions sealed an emphatic 75-run win.
