OUT! Caught & Bowled. Aryan Dutt to Noah Croes. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled back to bowler, caught by Dutt. Dublin Guardians fall short as they record a fifth consecutive defeat in a row, after a fine defence from Amsterdam Flames. The Guardians looked on course as James Vince's 73 controlled the innings, but once he departed they lost regular wickets as the Flames bowlers made it tough on a tricky surface. Richard Gleeson and Aryan Dutt picked up a couple of wickets each, but it was Time Pringle who led the way with three as Flames staged an exceptional comeback to deny Dublin. Tim Pringle is the Player of the Match.
