That's all from us at Cricinfo. On behalf of our members of the scoring team and my co-commentator Ekanth, this is Sreshth Shah saying bye-bye.

Winning captain Edwards: "We were okay in the powerplay with the ball, but spinners were sensational in the middle. We didn't close the bowling innings the way we'd have liked but spinners were sensational. We've got together last minute so it has been about building a connection, as a batting group, and similar for the bowling group. We've played a lot better cricket over the last three games and are on a roll - which is nice. We have a couple of Irish boys who will have knowledge of Malahide conditions."

Bas de Leede is the POTM: "Very happy - to go to Ireland with three wins under the belt is massive. [Personally, how things have gone] Tim is a relaxed guy to bat with, which I like. Talks about having fun and backing strengths. Talk was to grab momentum if available. At one point I was struggling to hit the ball so it was easy to preserve the partnership. Conditions here at Voorburg don't limit your options but make you play a certain way. Thank you to all the fans. Playing here at my home club was fun."

Losing captain Du Plessis: "We could've got 180. We lost wickets every 2-3 overs everytime you were looking to build partnerships. They had a good partnership and credit to Bas, he had a very good innings. You always want to compete, so felt I was ten runs short. It's all about putting pressure and the cliche of hunting in pairs as a bowling unit."

6.30pm That's an emphatic win. You thought the Dockers put a solid total after their 24-run 20th over to end the first innings, but just the lack of wickets in the second innings meant Flames were never really under pressure. De Leede anchored the innings after an early dismissal and after Samra's cameo, and it was de Leede's batting that allowed Tim David to also find his feet amid a scratchy start. Eventually they pumped 113 runs in 70 balls to seal the game with 2.2 overs to spare. Big boost to the NRR too.

Flames are now third on the table, moving up from fourth and swapping positions with the Dockers.

van Beek to David, SIX, that's been tonked over long on and Amsterdam Flames win this all-Dutch derby to bring the curtains down at Voorburg. David and de Leede pump fists to celebrate the win.

van Beek to David, SIX, is that going all the way? Oh, by a few metres more! Into the canal maybe! And that's a half-century for David. Not at his fluent best but he worked through his troubles today before exploding. Hammered over long on
