Netherlands secured their place in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 after defeating Scotland by four wickets at Queen Sports Club in Bulawayo.

The Netherlands has become the 10th team to secure qualification for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. After defeating Scotland by four wickets in a match at Queen Sports Club in Bulawayo, the Dutch team secured their spot in the tournament. This will be their fifth appearance in the World Cup, having previously participated in the 1996, 2003, 2007, and 2011 editions.

The tournament will take place in India from October to November, and the Netherlands will join Sri Lanka as the two teams that have qualified through the qualifying round. The match between the Netherlands and Sri Lanka in the final of the qualifying tournament will have no bearing on their World Cup berths, as both teams have already secured their places.

This marks a significant return for the Dutch team after a gap of 12 years. Their qualification reaffirms their status as a competitive cricketing nation, having also participated in the World Cup events of 1996, 2003, and 2007. With their impressive victory over Scotland, the Netherlands now eagerly awaits the prestigious tournament, where they will join the top eight teams from the World Cup Super League, including India, Australia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, England, New Zealand, Afghanistan, and South Africa. Excitement builds as the Netherlands gears up to face Sri Lanka in the final of the qualifying tournament, although the outcome will not affect their well-deserved World Cup berths.
