Re: March 8 - Warm up matches
**Dutch collapse to spin of Tikolo **
World Cup warm-up, Jamaica: Kenya 274-8 beat Netherlands 265-9 by nine runs
Match scorecard
A terrific performance by the Netherlands top order was ruined by a catastrophic collapse as Kenya beat then by nine runs in Jamaica.
Chasing a tricky 275 to win, the Dutch were indebted to openers Darron Reekers (75) and Bas Zuiderent (65) before Ryan Ten Doeschate added a quick 50.
That left them apparently cruising to victory but the off-spin of Steve Tikolo (5-48) transformed the match.
The Netherlands ended up an agonising 10 runs short of victory on 265-9.
Experienced skipper Tikolo had earlier hit an important 51 for the Africans.
A total of 274-8, in which Thomas Odoyo produced a smash-and-grab 73 from number seven, looked good, especially considering the top three had all fallen cheaply.
But the Dutch had other ideas and should really have been able to secure a confidence-boosting victory.
However, the last six batsmen all fell in a heap and Kenya, semi-finalists four years ago, enter the tournament proper with a win under their belts.
