The Netherlands have made it into the Super 10 stage of the World Twenty20 after an extraordinary victory over Ireland in Sylhet.
The Dutch smashed 19 sixes as they scored 193 off just 13.5 overs to progress ahead of the Irish and Zimbabwe on a superior run rate.
Ireland, who would have qualified by winning Friday's game, made 189-4.
Stephan Myburgh smashed the second fastest 50 in Twenty20s to launch the Netherlands towards a stunning victory.
Myburgh struck 63 off 23 balls, hitting four boundaries, before Wasely Barresi, who was 40 not out off 22 balls, lofted a final six over deep mid-wicket to seal the win inside the required run-rate.
The Netherlands will now be in Group One with Sri Lanka, England, South Africa and New Zealand.
