6:51 PM And the Man of the Match award goes to Ireland's Alex Cusack for his superb 65.
6:49 PM The final, in an hour and a quarter's time, will be between Afghanistan and Ireland, which will decide the championship and who is in which groups in the Caribbean. Don't go away!
6:48 PM From the moment Peter Connell took two wickets in his first over, removing Kervezee and Bukhari, the Irish had the Dutch on the rack, and with Johnston bowling another splendid spell and Dockrell cleaning up at the end, the batting performance was very poor indeed.
6:45 PM A completely overwhelming win by Ireland, who maintain their superiority over the Dutch in no uncertain terms. And Ireland join Afghanistan on the plane to the West Indies!
