Commentary
The Dutch just were not at their best with the ball first up, they could not use the conditions that well and the spinners in the middle overs were also not at their best. They though pulled back things really well towards the end and that is thanks to Bas de Leede who was the pick with a five-fer. Had it not been for him, the Dutch would have been chasing a lot more. Now it is onto their batters. They have been in good form but they are coming up against a really good bowling side. Can they gun this down? We will find out.
Netherlands have managed to pull things back nicely but we believe, Scotland have a score which we feel is above par here. They lost a wicket early but then Brandon McMullen. Batted really well. He played nicely along with Richie Berrington! The two added over 100 with Brandon McMullen scoring a brilliant ton. When they were batting, 300 looked possible but they lost a few wickets towards the end. Tomas Mackintosh though played really well to take them close to 280.

...Presentation time...
Netherlands had to chase it down around the 44th over. The openers gave a good start, the intent was there right from the start but Netherlands needed that one big performance and it came from Bas de Leede. Scott Edwards and Saqib Zulfiqar too played a good hand but it was Bas de Leede who made things possible. At the innings break, Bas de Leede's fifer was overshadowed but now it feels how important was that.
Ohh Scotland what have you done! Scotland had the upper hand, they had a better run rate but the way Scotland were playing, it felt like the pressure was on them. Overthrows, dropped catches, sloppy fielding. In a big match, they have felt the pressure but not Netherlands though. They have done the unimaginable. At the innings break, Scotland were looking so comfortable. The ton from Brandon McMullen and fifty from Richie Berrington helped them get to a par total.
Netherlands have done it! They are going to India. A famous victory for Netherlands who have just pulled out the impossible here. Bas de Leede you beauty! Cometh the hour, cometh the man. A match-winning century, a five-fer. Tell us a better all-round performance in recent history.
NETHERLANDS HAVE DONE IT! Full and outside off. Logan van Beek drives it to mid off for a single. They win by 4 wickets.
Fuller ball, outside off. Zulfiqar drives it to covers for a single. 1 run needed in 8 balls.

On middle, Zulfiqar fends it to square leg for one.

Commentary
The Dutch just were not at their best with the ball first up, they could not use the conditions that well and the spinners in the middle overs were also not at their best. They though pulled back things really well towards the end and that is thanks to Bas de Leede who was the pick with a five-fer. Had it not been for him, the Dutch would have been chasing a lot more. Now it is onto their batters. They have been in good form but they are coming up against a really good bowling side. Can they gun this down? We will find out.
Netherlands have managed to pull things back nicely but we believe, Scotland have a score which we feel is above par here. They lost a wicket early but then Brandon McMullen. Batted really well. He played nicely along with Richie Berrington! The two added over 100 with Brandon McMullen scoring a brilliant ton. When they were batting, 300 looked possible but they lost a few wickets towards the end. Tomas Mackintosh though played really well to take them close to 280.

TOSS-: Netherlands have won the toss and elected to field first.
It is time for the most important match in the World Cup Qualifiers. It is time for Scotland to take on Netherlands as they look to seal the final spot for the ticket to India. This does feel like a final. Although Scotland have the upper hand with two points more than Netherlands and a better run rate but the Dutch will be ready to fight for the final destination. Scotland had a massive win against the Lankans which just helped them to get the breathing space in this game. Two teams who have shown great consistency and determination to get in top two have to fight for one last time. Welcome to the coverage. Toss coming up soon.
...MATCH DAY...
The 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers has been a tournament to remember and in the penultimate match of the Super Sixes' stage, Scotland go head-to-head with Netherlands at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo in what is effectively a knockout game with the winner sealing a spot in the main tournament later this year in India. Sri Lanka have already confirmed their place and it looked like the hosts, Zimbabwe would join them in India but a sensational performance under pressure from Scotland in their last game against the hosts has knocked Zimbabwe out of the competition and opened the door for Netherlands to sneak into that elusive second place. Scotland have a couple more points than the Netherlands and a better net run rate, which means the Dutch players will need more than just a victory to pip their opponents into finishing second. Coming to the teams, Scotland have an in-form batting line-up and in their last game against Zimbabwe too we saw that even though no one got a big score, almost every batter got to thirties or forties which proved decisive. Their bowling too has been more than decent with Chris Greaves, Brandon McMullen and Chris Sole all in the top 10 wicket-takers of the tournament. Netherlands on the other hand have been at their gritty best, proving hard to be beaten and notching up a few stellar victories. They do have a habit of pulling off the exceptional in big tournaments and skipper Scott Edwards will be rallying his troops to do the same here. The skipper is amongst the leading run-scorers of the tournament and the opening pair of Vikramjit Singh and Max O'Dowd has proved vital for them. They have a well-rounded bowling unit but against this particular Scotland side, it will certainly be difficult for them. All in all, this game has all the makings of a classic and as usual, it will all boil down to which team handles pressure better. Who are you backing?

...Presentation time...
Netherlands had to chase it down around the 44th over. The openers gave a good start, the intent was there right from the start but Netherlands needed that one big performance and it came from Bas de Leede. Scott Edwards and Saqib Zulfiqar too played a good hand but it was Bas de Leede who made things possible. At the innings break, Bas de Leede's fifer was overshadowed but now it feels how important was that.
Ohh Scotland what have you done! Scotland had the upper hand, they had a better run rate but the way Scotland were playing, it felt like the pressure was on them. Overthrows, dropped catches, sloppy fielding. In a big match, they have felt the pressure but not Netherlands though. They have done the unimaginable. At the innings break, Scotland were looking so comfortable. The ton from Brandon McMullen and fifty from Richie Berrington helped them get to a par total.
Netherlands have done it! They are going to India. A famous victory for Netherlands who have just pulled out the impossible here. Bas de Leede you beauty! Cometh the hour, cometh the man. A match-winning century, a five-fer. Tell us a better all-round performance in recent history.
