Let’s call: Netherlands qualified for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 after defeating Scotland by four wickets in the qualifying round match.
The Netherlands won the toss and elected to field in the match played at the Queen Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe on Thursday.
Batting first, Scotland scored 277 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in the allotted 50 overs, in response to which the Netherlands achieved the target in 42.5 overs for the loss of 6 wickets.
It should be noted that for the Netherlands to qualify for the World Cup, it was not only necessary to win this match, but also to take Scotland to the second place in the points table in terms of net run rate.
Netherlands needed to score 278 runs in 44 overs to achieve the desired target, but they achieved it in the 42.5th over i.e. 7 balls early.
Pakistan’s first match in World Cup 2023 will be on October 6, 2023 against Netherlands in Hyderabad.
The Netherlands played their first World Cup in 2011 and now they have managed to reach the World Cup for the fifth time.
