National Counties XI, representing England at the Dream 11 European Cricket Championship, overcame defending champions Netherlands with an emphatic eight-wickets victory in the final at the Cartama Oval near Malaga. Hinley thumped eight sixes in a thrilling display of clean hitting that helped National Counties to avenge their defeat by the Dutch in the final 12 months ago. It was the second win for National Counties over Netherlands on finals day as it followed a 15 runs victory in a qualifier. National Counties then had mixed fortunes on the second day of Championship Week. National Counties then suffered a shock eight-wickets defeat against Switzerland, but Berkshire seamer Toby Greatwood then took a hat-trick in the Group E final.
