ESSEX star Ryan ten Doeschate has led the Netherlands to a thrilling ICC Intercontinental Cup win over the United Arab Emirates in Sharjah.

The powerful all-rounder smashed six sixes and 20 fours in a fantastic innings of 146 as the Dutch clinched a 64-run victory.

The Netherlands have two more fixtures to play to complete their Cup campaign, taking on Ireland in Rotterdam in June and Kenya at Amstelveen in August.

Ten Doeschate's side are currently fourth in the eight-team tournament table, which involves the ICC associate members.
