Dighton leads Dutch to memorable win
CB40: Michael Dighton celebrated his return to Derby with a match-winning century that gave the Netherlands their first victory in the Clydesdale Bank 40 League.
The 34-year-old Tasmanian scored a superb unbeaten 110 from 106 balls against the county he played for three years ago as the Dutch chased down a target of 207 on a slow pitch to clinch a seven-wicket win with four balls to spare.
It condemned the Derbyshire Falcons to their fourth defeat in Group B despite 73 from 91 balls by skipper Chris Rogers.
The game was in the balance when the Netherlands needed 76 from the last 10 overs but Dighton and former Sussex batsman Bas Zuiderent kept their nerves to seal a notable victory.
