Van Beek first played for the Netherlands against English county Essex in the 2012 Clydesdale Bank 40. He had to play as an overseas professional as under ICC regulations he had to wait three years after playing for New Zealand to qualify for the Netherlands. His first major international tournament for the Netherlands was the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh. [5]
He scored his maiden first-class century on 24 October 2015 in the Plunket Shield. [8] In November 2017,in the 2017–18 Plunket Shield season,he took his maiden 10-wicket match haul in first-class cricket. [9] In March 2018,in round six of the Plunket Shield,he took a hat-trick for Wellington against Canterbury.

On 26 June 2023,he was instrumental in Netherlands dramatic upset victory over the West Indies during a crucial encounter at the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier by showing his all-round prowess in the super over after the match had ended in a tie. Netherlands batted second in pursuit of a huge run chase of 375 and ended up levelling the score of the West Indies by ending at 374/9. Logan initially scored a quickfire 28 runs off just 14 deliveries during Netherlands batting innings. Logan arrived at the crease at number eight position when Netherlands were reeling at 327/7 with the Netherlands still needing 47 runs off the last three overs of the innings. [26]
He was later sent by Dutch camp to open the batting alongside skipper Scott Edwards in the super over and Logan van Beek faced all six deliveries in the super over bowled by Jason Holder and subsequently Logan van Beek made the most of the errors in judgement in line and length of Holder by smashing 30 runs including 3 fours and 3 sixes. [27] [28] Netherlands broke the world record for amassing the most runs in a super over in any format at international level surpassing the previous best of 25 made by West Indies. [29] Logan also eventually set a world record for being the batsman with scoring most number of runs in a super over in international cricket. [30]
Logan later went onto bowl the super over and he was remarkably successful in defending the total by conceding only 8 runs while bowling out the West Indies by claiming both the wickets. [31] His heroics both with the ball and bat eventually sealed the deal for the Dutch which also marked Netherlands first ever win over West Indies in any format in international cricket and also the win further boosted Netherlands chances of securing possible berth for 2023 Cricket World Cup. [32] For his breathtaking all-round performance,he was also adjudged the player of the match. [33]
The Netherlands men's national cricket team,usually referred as "The Flying Dutchmen" is a team that represents the Netherlands in men's international cricket and is administered by the Royal Dutch Cricket Association.

A Super Over,also known as a one-over eliminator or a one over per side eliminator,is a tie-breaking method used in limited-overs cricket matches. If a match ends in a "tie",it proceeds to a Super Over,in which each team plays a single additional over of six balls to determine the match winner. The team scoring the most runs in that over is declared the winner. Following a rule change in October 2019 for knockout and bilateral series matches,if the first Super Over also ends in a tie,another Super Over is played.
