Gurbaz, who was 20 years old in November, hit six four and three six when he proceeded to the second ODI century – who first came to debut against Ireland in January last year.
Kent Key-Arm Seamer Fred Klaassen (2-51) and 21-year-old Philipe-Spinner Philippe Boissevain (2-39) is the most successful of the Dutch bowlers.
