Both teams have displayed impressive performances thus far, with Scotland winning three out of their four games and the Netherlands securing victories in two matches.

In their previous encounter against Oman, the Netherlands registered a convincing win by 74 runs through the DLS method. Their batting lineup performed brilliantly as they posted a formidable total of 362 runs in 48 overs. Vikramjit Singh marked his maiden ODI century, while Wesley Barresi narrowly missed out on a hundred, falling for 97 runs. In reply, Oman could only manage 246 runs for the loss of six wickets.

Meanwhile, Scotland faced Zimbabwe in their previous match and registered a stunning win by 31 runs. Scotland’s innings saw Michael Leask as the top scorer with 48 runs off 34 balls. Zimbabwe’s batting lineup struggled against Scotland’s bowling attack, and despite Ryan Burl’s valiant knock of 83 runs, they were dismissed for 203 runs. Chris Sole and Chris Greaves played crucial roles with the ball, picking up wickets at key moments and limiting Zimbabwe’s scoring opportunities.

With Sri Lanka already securing their place in the ICC World Cup 2023, this match holds immense significance for Scotland and the Netherlands, as the winner will qualify for the World Cup 2023. Scotland currently holds a higher net run rate (NRR) than the Netherlands, meaning the Netherlands will need to secure a convincing victory to qualify.
