Match 8 of the Super Six Stage of the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2023 will see the Netherlands and Scotland lock horns. This game will be a virtual qualifier for both teams. Scotland have won three out of their four games so far, while the Netherlands have won two.
The Netherlands faced off against Oman in their last match, which they won by 74 runs via the DLS method. Batting first, they scored 362 runs for the loss of eight, with Vikramjit Singh scoring his maiden ODI century. Wesley Barresi also played a brilliant knock of 97 runs. In the chase, Oman were able to manage only 264 runs. Aryan Dutt scalped three wickets, while Ryan Klein chipped in with two. The Netherlands will now have to win the next game by a significant margin to qualify for the World Cup, because Scotland’s NRR is higher than theirs.
Scotland, on the other hand, faced off against Zimbabwe in their previous match, which they won by 31 runs. They scored 234 runs for the loss of eight wickets as Michael Leask top scored with 48 runs. In the chase, Zimbabwe were bowled out for 203 runs. Chris Sole took the big wickets of Joylord Gumbie, Craig Ervine, and Sean Williams. With this loss, Zimbabwe were eliminated from the World Cup race.
