Starting play on the second and final leg of their Denmark tour in front of a reasonable crowd, Bermuda were looking for a much better result after being beaten easily by five wickets the previous day against Denmark.

Unfortunately it was not to be as Denmark registered another impressive victory, defeating Bermuda by 7 wickets. Bermuda presented a fairly new team compared with the tem in the World Cup - only four of the players from that tournament take part in this European tour, so this Bermuda must foresee a hard time, since Denmark is the minor of the countries they are going to play in the coming weeks. Some of the Bermuda players could not get off from work, others have retired from national cricket duty.

Denmark's captain Freddie Klokker won the toss and had no hesitation putting the Bermudans into bat.

Denmark, without star opening bowler from the day before Thomas Hansen due to a knee complaint, started badly as some undisciplined bowling was punished by a rejuvenated Bermuda. This brought about a bowling change and the result was immediate. Medium pace bowler David Borchersen struck in his first over, and continued to make inroads into Bermuda’s middle order. Borchersen’s first spell read 4 for 18 off 9, as he reduced the visitors from 0 for 27 to 4 for 48, with line and length bowling. James Celestine, after a duck yesterday, came to the crease and began to rebuild the Bermuda innings. He knocked up 78, forming useful partnerships with both captain Irving Romaine (17) and Lionel Cann (22).

This brought the return of opening bowler Henrik Hansen, which diminished the hope of a two hundred plus score from Bermuda which began to look very likely. Celestine lost partners regularly as Bermuda struggled with the extra pace of Hansen, his second spell bringing home 4 for 17 leaving Borchersen to complete his five wicket haul, claiming the last wicket of a frustrated Celestine, the visitors going from 154 for 5 to being all out for 176 in 48,1 overs.

Denmark began very positively, with openers Freddie Klokker and Carsten Pedersen running hard and putting away the loose balls. Bermuda had their fair share of bad luck, Pedersen was caught of a no ball and were denied a close run out decision, but the Danish feathers went unruffled as they posted 88 for the first wicket. After Pedersen (40) was dismissed, it was a carbon copy of yesterday’s game, as two quick wickets followed, giving the Bermuda team a lifeline at 3 for 107. But a determined Klokker was unmoved and power hitter Lars Hedegaard got on with it, Hedegaard only needing 35 balls for his 50. Klokker (67*) and Hedegaard (50*) reached the target in the 43rd over, leaving Denmark’s coach Peter Klokker with plenty to smile about. "Yes as soon as the team start to practice they begin to win matches" he said.

All of the Bermuda bowlers were steady without looking threatening, Irving Romaine was the pick claiming 2 for 32 off 9.

This puts Denmark’s aspirations for the World Cricket League Division 2 Tournament against hosts Namibia, Oman, U.A.E, Argentina, and Uganda back on track after a disappointing tour of Ireland where they lost two matches to Ireland A. Bermuda will not be involved in this tournament as they have already qualified for the World Cup qualifiers in the United Arab Emirates in 2009.
