Ensure you read until the end because we have gathered some interesting facts and figures. I am sure I got you hooked by now. So without any further delay, let’s get right into it.
Key performers
Without a doubt, each Netherlands player has produced innings that have made their entry into the world cup possible after 12 years. The 4 leading players were all unavailable due to their contracts with the county cricket.
They have one of the best new-ball attacks this world cup.
But these gems made it. And the ones contributing the most to this feat are these players;
| Scott Andrew Edwards | 313 runs with an average of 78 in 7 innings |
| Bas de Leede | 285 runs with an average of 47, and took 15 wickets in 7 matches |
| Vikramjit Singh | 313 runs with an average of 44 in 7 innings |
| Logan Verjus van Beek | 10 wickets in 7 matches. |

Qualification after 12 years
The Dutch have done it! They stunned Scotland by chasing 278 runs in only 42.5 overs with four wickets remaining in a must-win Super Six battle in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifiers in Zimbabwe, thanks to a fantastic all-around effort by Bas de Leede.
After capturing five wickets, de Leede hammered a match-winning 123 off 92 balls to enable the Dutch to win the game 7 balls early and qualify for the World Cup in India in 2023.
The Netherlands will compete in an ODI World Cup for the first time in 12 years, having previously done so in 2011.
Logan hits Jason out of the park on each delivery, and De Leede showed an allrounder’s performance in this match; the Netherlands is showing us all what matters the most: the love for the game.
Scotts batting and Vikramjit’s support
Although young Scott has no ton on his name, his stats are pretty decent, considering how much cricket the associate nations get to play. His performance in this tournament is especially eye-catching. Scoring these runs under pressure conditions is not a joke at all.
And, of course, Vikramjit has had enough of his share in the feat. The 20-years old batter has much to prove in international cricket, and this seems to be a good start. In just 7 innings, he managed to score 313 runs.
Logan’s excellence and Bas de Leede’s all-round effort
The next on the list is Logan van Beek. Ironically, he scored those runs against West Indies, a nation his grandfather once represented. What’s more interesting is how his grandpa also changed the nation he played for.
Logan initially had plans to represent the Black Caps, but destiny took a turn, and he now plays for the Dutch. The Kiwis must be in awe of the player that went out of their grasp. His performance against the West Indies shows the match-winning genes he has.

And to top it off, Bas de Leede has proved to be the best all-rounder for the team. Picking up 15 wickets while scoring 285 runs seems to be a performance you cannot write off. He will surely be a menace to the opposition in the World Cup.
Any possible weaknesses
The Netherlands struggles with their batting lineup. They have a decent new ball attack. However, you cannot compete in a big tournament like this without a solid batting lineup. Teja and Vikram can score runs. However, if they fall, who will score the runs?
They also do not have much ODI experience. The current Netherlands squad is one of the most inexperienced squads. However, they won the qualifiers without their most experienced players. The main question is, is that going to work here?
