Adam Zampa was the standout bowler for Australia with three wickets, while Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins took two each, and Marcus Stoinis claimed one wicket.
The Netherlands faced Afghanistan in their last game and elected to bat after winning the toss. They lost their first wicket in the very first over.
