In the thrilling World Cup 2023 match currently underway between Netherlands and Afghanistan at Ekana Stadium, Lucknow, all eyes were on Dutch skipper Scott Edwards as he took to the crease. However, his entry turned out to be an incredibly short-lived affair, marking a disastrous moment for the Dutch team.

Watch video here:


It all happened in the 18th over when Mohammad Nabi was bowling for Afghanistan. Edwards, who was looking to take charge, faced a critical delivery, tossing it up with ample air. In an attempt to sweep the ball and make a statement, Edwards advanced down the track but failed to connect. The sharp-witted Afghan keeper, Ikram, seized the opportunity, displaying great awareness as he collected the ball and swiftly removed the bails.

As the stumping appeal went up, Edwards knew his fate. Without waiting for the umpire's decision, he began his walk back to the pavilion. The replays only confirmed what Edwards already sensed - his bat was well outside the crease when the stumps were broken. It was a golden duck for the Dutch captain, making it two wickets in two balls for the Afghans. This unexpected twist left the Netherlands reeling, with four wickets down within the initial 20 overs.

For Scott Edwards and his team, this dismissal was undoubtedly a setback, and it has brought an added layer of excitement and tension to the ongoing match at Ekana Stadium.
