In a highly anticipated showdown, the Netherlands and Scotland are set to face off in Match 8 of the Super Six Stage at the ICC ODI World Cup Qualifiers 2023. With Sri Lanka having already secured their place in the ICC World Cup 2023, this crucial encounter will determine the final qualifying team from this stage.
Scotland enter the match with a strong track record, having won three out of their four games thus far in the tournament. They will be looking to maintain their winning momentum and secure their spot in the prestigious ICC World Cup. On the other hand, the Netherlands, with two wins to their name, are also vying for qualification and will be keen to outshine their opponents.
The Netherlands’ recent victory against Oman, by 74 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method, has undoubtedly boosted their confidence. The Dutch team displayed an impressive performance, both with the bat and ball, to secure a convincing win in their last outing. Similarly, Scotland are riding high on a triumph over Zimbabwe in their previous encounter. The Scottish team showcased their mettle and determination in a hard-fought battle and they will be looking to replicate this winning formula.
Pitch report:
An equal number of matches have been won by teams batting in the first and second innings at this particular venue throughout the tournament.
