The first match of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League series between the England cricket team and the Netherlands cricket team is underway right now, where the home team has won the toss and asked Eoin Morgan’s men to bat first. Jason Roy could not make much of an impact while opening the innings for the England cricket team.
Speaking about what happened at the toss of this match, Pieter Seelar won the toss and opted to have a bowl first. It is an important series for the Netherlands because they need some points in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. On the other side, England will look to consolidate their spot in the top half of the standings.
Here’s what the England cricket team skipper Eoin Morgan said in the brief interview at the toss:
“We would have chased as well. The wicket looks really good and doesn’t look like it will change throughout the day. We have some very strong players with the great strength and depth. We are looking to get back as a side and play some ODI cricket.”
Twitter reacts as Jason Roy loses his wicket to his cousin
Jason Roy was born in South Africa, while Shane Snater was born in Zimbabwe. Both players are cousins. Roy plays for the England cricket team, while Snater is a member of the Netherlands cricket team. Snater rattled Roy’s stumps today when he was on one run.
Here is the video of that dismissal, followed by some of the top Twitter reactions to it:

Shane Snater just bowled his cousin Jason Roy. They're mums are sisters from Zimbabwe. Today, the Dutch Cousin took down the English one. https://t.co/HKrPrwIDrr
