West Indies will take on the Netherlands in the 18th group-stage encounter of the ongoing ICC World Cup qualifiers. Although both teams have qualified for the next round, they would like to conclude the group-stage with a win, as points are carried forward to the super six. 


Team Preview: West Indies

Talking about West Indies, the Shai Hope-led unit had a remarkable beginning to the tournament, emerging victorious in their first two group-stage fixtures against USA and Nepal. However, they couldn't sustain their dream run, succumbing to a 35-run defeat to a spirited Zimbabwean outfit on Saturday. So, moving on to this game, they would like to perform up to the mark and seal an emphatic win over the Dutch. 


Team Preview: Netherlands

On the contrary, the Netherlands kickstarted their campaign with a heavy six-wicket defeat to Zimbabwe but bounced back commendably, recording clinical victories over USA and Nepal in the subsequent fixtures. While Max O'Dowd and Scott Edwards have starred with the bat, Logan van Beek and Bas de Leede have enjoyed stellar success with the ball. The Dutch have several match-winners and should be inspired by Zimbabwe to force another upset in the competition.
