Super Sixes Match 8- Netherlands vs Scotland (Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo)

Scotland Form Guide:

The top run scorer for Scotland is Brandon McMullen with 258 runs to his name.

The top wicket taker for Scotland is Chris Greaves with 13 scalps under his belt.

Scotland have beaten Zimbabwe in their previous match by 31 runs to lighten up the chances for their qualification into the ICC Men's World Cup to happen in October. They have to beat Netherlands in the upcoming match to secure the spot.

In the previous match, Scotland batted first and they were restricted to 234 for 8 in 50 overs. Matthew Cross and Brandon McMullen played well and scored 38 and 34 runs respectively. Once these two got out, Scotland kept losing wickets at regular intervals and never looked in the game. Michael Leask made important 48 runs down the order to ensure Scotland got past the 230 run mark to finish at 234 in 50 overs of play.

During the chase, Zimbabwe lost Joylord Gumbie and Craig Ervine early on. Innocent Kaia and Sean Williams also got dismissed soon after. Sikandar Raza tried to hit a few but got out at a wrong time. Ryan Burl was the last hope for Zimbabwe. He struck 83 off 84 balls but played a bad shot to get out to Michael Leask. Zimbabwe were eventually bowled out for 203, losing the match by 31 runs.

Netherlands Form Guide:

The top run scorer for Netherlands is Scott Edwards with 288 runs to his name.

The top wicket taker for Netherlands is Logan van Beek with 11 scalps under his belt.

Netherlands have beaten Oman in their previous match by 74 runs (DLS method).

The match was reduced to 48 overs per side due to rain. Netherlands batted first and they looked in an attacking mindset right from the word go. Vikramjit Singh made 110 off 109 balls and Wesley Barresi followed it up with a lovely knock of 97 off 65 balls. On the back of their brilliance, Netherlands got to 362 in 48 overs of play.

During the chase, Oman lost early wickets and didn't seem to be in contention for winning the game until Ayaan Khan played a brilliant knock of 105 off 92 balls but it still wasn't enough as Oman were restricted to 246 for 6 in 44 overs, losing the match by 74 runs (based on the DLS calculation).
