CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh (AP) — England captain Stuart Broad claimed 3-24 Monday to restrict the Netherlands to 133-5 in its last match of the World Twenty20.

England bowlers maintained a tight line and length to make the task difficult for the Dutch after Broad sent them in batting.

Wesley Barresi was the highest scorer for the Netherlands with 48 off 45, including two fours and as many sixes. Stephan Myburgh made 39 while Michael Swart scored 13.

Broad made an early inroad by taking out Swart but Myburgh and Barresi added 50 runs.

Ravi Bopara struck in his first over by dismissing Myburgh, who hit six fours and one six off 31 balls. His dismissal slowed down the scoring rate as England established its firm control.

Broad then took Peter Borren and Tom Cooper to unsettle Netherlands further.

Chris Jordan and Bopara finished with one wicket apiece.

Neither team can reach the semifinals.
