Teja Nidamanuru's second ODI hundred helps Netherlands' super over win in the highest-scoring tied ODI

Netherlands all-rounder Teja Nidamanuru played a fiery knock against the West Indies Cricket Team in the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers at the Takashinge Sports Club.

Nidamanuru registered his second ODI century in the process.

His 76-ball 111 helped Netherlands force the super-over where they eventually defeated WI by 22 runs.

Nidamanuru's knock was laced with 11 fours and three sixes.

Nidamanuru came to the crease when the Netherlands were placed decently at 128/3 in 21.2 overs.

He added 42 runs with Baas de Leede before the latter was dismissed. Nidamuru then stitched a record 143-run stand with Scott Edwards, taking the total beyond the 300-run mark.

The 28-year-old all-rounder fell prey to Jason Holder in the 46th over.

Courtesy of a brilliant hundred, Nidamanuru raced to 489 runs in 16 ODIs at an average of 37.61.

Besides two hundreds, he has smashed two ODI fifties.

His other ODI century came against Zimbabwe.

He has smoked 181 runs against WI in four ODIs at an impressive average of above 60.33. Before this, he had smoked a fifty against them.

Nidamanuru was born in India. His hometown is Vijayawada of Andhra Pradesh. He was born on August 22, 1994, and his full name is Anil Teja Nidamanuru.

He moved to New Zealand with his family when he was quite young. Teja loved cricket and even represented Auckland at the domestic level, but he could not break into the New Zealand team.

Teja's journey from India to the Netherlands was via New Zealand. He completed his education in New Zealand and got a job in the Dutch nation. His love for cricket was always there, and so he joined a club named Kampong in Utrecht.

Soon after, the all-rounder rose up the ranks in Netherlands cricket and finally received a call-up to the national team
