I too don't expect much from teams like Netherlands and Bangladesh. Bangladesh also having hard time against Afghanistan at home ground ODI series. SL gave a small target of just 234 runs and Netherlands should have scored atleart 200 but they settled for 105. The competition will be much higher in WC and Netherlands won't find teams like SL and WI there.

What the World Cup qualifier tournament has shown is that associates such as Scotland and Netherlands have improved the quality of their game. This was evident during the last T20I World Cup as well. Sri Lanka was obviously a level above the rest of the teams, but associate sides were very competitive against other test members such as West Indies, Zimbabwe and Ireland. The final match, where Netherlands lost by a big margin was a disappointment, but that doesn't take away their good performance till then. The very fact that they managed to qualify despite all the attempts by the ICC to get rid of them is a proof of the gap getting narrowed.

It was not easy to predict that the final match between Netherlands and Sri Lanka would be such a poor performance. We all thought that as both the teams performed well they came to the top first and second positions but in the final match Sri Lanka too were bowled out for 233 runs whereas Netherlands went into bat with a target of 234 runs and were bowled out for just 105 runs. However, the Netherlands will enter this year's World Cup as the weakest team and are expected to be the only good match against Bangladesh. Because Bangladesh is weaker team than Afghanistan in terms of strength and they have already proved that strength by defeating Bangladesh in two matches in Chittagong.

These teams will give some unexpected performance and the same could be troublesome for the big teams. Look at the ODI World Cup qualifier, none could've expected a win from the team Netherlands after a mammoth score from West Indies. Another match against Scotland, where it needs to complete the match within specific overs to get qualified based on net runrate. The match result was completely unexpected and the team took momentum and changed the match situation in 10 overs. The team might stand as a reason for the elimination of teams at the important moment.

After observing Netherlands perform we can can assume that they normally play good against any weak team. Many of us start dreaming about their team after few good matches but in reality, it is unlikely that it will happen. Because they can't perform as expected with the experienced team. Ireland's inconsistency will not allow them to go far in a World Cup where every team is more stronger. I think this team should regain their consistency back as soon as possible.
Netherlands bowlers have done a wonderful job yesterday by restricting SL to a score of 233. SL were all out in 47.5 overs and this is maximum what bowlers can do for there side. Its utter disappointment from Netherlands batting line up. Max O'Dowd was the highest scorer from Netherlands with 33 runs and rest is just a history now. Netherlands can surely do well against associate teams but they need to put more efforts while playing against test teams.
The Sri Lankan batsmen have proved themselves as much as the Sri Lankan bowlers have proved themselves in the World Cup qualifiers but they have not proved themselves as much as the bowlers. Sri Lanka's score was very low in most of the innings but due to their excellent bowling they won every match despite being a low scoring match. In a 50-over game, a team like the Netherlands was bowled out for only 233 runs, then you understand the level of Sri Lanka's batting. As strong as Sri Lanka's bowling line-up is, so should their batting line-up. If they had been consistent in batting, they would not have had to play the World Cup qualifiers and make it to the main stage. Indian conditions are very similar to Sri Lanka so if they can do well in batting India will create a good chance for Sri Lanka in the World Cup.

Among the teams that performed in the World Cup qualifiers, Sri Lanka was the strongest team. Other teams were relatively inexperienced. Even then, against the teams we have seen, the performance of the Sri Lankan batsmen has not been as good as expected. In the two matches against the Netherlands, Sri Lanka scored 213 and 231 runs respectively. Since the Sri Lankan batsmen cannot play well against such inexperienced bowlers, how will they play well against experienced bowlers on the World Cup stage? Before the World Cup, Sri Lanka will have to solve the internal problems of the team. Batsmen have to play with more responsibility. Otherwise, we will not see a better performance from Sri Lanka in any World Cup match.

Netherlands doesn't have consistency in performance. At times the batting order performs well and bowling line-up too gives the best. The best thing happened with the match against West Indies. Look at the match against Sri Lanka, the bowling order performed well and the batting order completely collapsed. I don't think Netherlands would be making big change in the World Cup Matches.

The Netherlands has performed well in the qualifiers. Of course, in the final, it was against Sri Lanka. So a good and dominating performance from Sri Lanka was pretty much expected. They were able to perform better against weaker opponents. But the thing is some people may say that they had a good performance against the West Indies. But I think the West Indies has gone down in terms of quality a lot. So that’s why the Netherlands was able to beat the West Indies.

But if I remember correctly they had to do a lot of hard work to beat the West Indies. The match went to super over.

Anyway, I don’t think they are going to qualify for the next stage from the group stage of the World Cup. As far as I know, one team is going to play a minimum of nine matches in total. So this is going to give the bigger teams a better chance to perform in the World Cup.

The Netherlands played two matches against Sri Lanka. They were badly defeated in both the matches. In both the matches Sri Lanka set a low target but the Netherlands could not win. The Netherlands scored 192 runs against Sri Lanka in the previous match and today they scored only 105 runs. I don't think this team can play well in the World Cup. They will lose every match.
Netherlands is the best team that is available to get a slot in the final 10, think about a scenario when other associate teams gets a slot, it will be a one sided affairs and there is no way they are going to upset any major teams and the thing that is going to happen is that the teams facing Netherlands in the World Cup would view it as a practice match to boost up their averages Cheesy.

Netherlands are finalists of this CWC and they deserve to play the world cup. Netherlands is not playing the WC for the very first time as they played 1996 ODI world cup also. All teams need to be careful while playing against Netherlands as they have beaten WI while have given tough time to SL.  Netherlands bowling is good but they need to pay attention to there batting.

Netherlands performance against Sirlanka is not too good because of Netherland's batting problems his bowling performance is well but Sirlanka is a Class team in the qualifying round he did not lose a single match and won all 7 matches in the ICC qualifiers for the Cricket World cup 2023. I think Sirlanka will give a tough time to the other team and maybe won the CWC 2023 but Sirlanka needs to hard work on his bowling and batting performance to Won this title.

Netherlands faced Srilankan team two times in these ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier matches. In both of these matches Srilanka played first. In the first match Srilanka made 213 runs and in the second match they made 233 runs. So this is showing that Netherlands has a good bowling line. But on the other hand when Netherlands took its turns. In the first match they were near to the target but they got all out at 192 runs. And same as is the scond match they made only 105 runs. So this is showing that Netherlands needs to improve their batting line.

At this point, none of the teams outside the pig-3 are performing in a consistent manner. And regarding their performance in the 2023 ODI World Cup, I am sure that they will perform better than the tier-2 countries such as West Indies and Zimbabwe. For yesterday's match, they were playing without their main player (Bas de Leede), and also 8 of their regular players were unavailable for this tournament since they were playing for different counties in England. They worked really hard to secure one of the two qualification spots and let's congratulate them for that.

It is already understood that the Netherlands will never be able to cope with Sri Lanka today because Sri Lanka is a strong enough team. However, Netherlands could not put up a very good batting performance against Sri Lanka which is why they lost so badly. However Sri Lanka did not bat that well today but still they scored a lot of runs in the end. Netherlands improved their bowling performance a bit but when it came to batting performance they did not do well at all. Because the Sri Lankan bowlers know how to bowl brilliantly which is why Netherlands couldn't score runs to reach their target of victory today but lost the match by a huge margin of runs. And by losing this match, the Netherlands were badly knocked out of the World Cup qualifiers, and Sri Lanka qualified for the final in a great contest. But even if the Netherlands lose badly to Sri Lanka today, they still have a chance of making it to the World Cup.
I think this time Sri Lanka fell outside the ranking by mistakenly the, because we can understand it only if we see their performance, especially in this season of ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers, they have not lost a single match. So I think it will be natural that Sri Lanka will be winner of todays match.
They didn't give any chances to the Netherlands team in any side batting or bowling specially in the side of bowling they gave a outstanding performance today. Maheesh Theekshana and Dilshan Madushanka show their magic today all the bowlers played a awesome role they all didn't give econ 5.33 higher today. I think before the asia cup and ICC world cup I think this series will be give them extra confidence.

Netherlands is the best team that is available to get a slot in the final 10, think about a scenario when other associate teams gets a slot, it will be a one sided affairs and there is no way they are going to upset any major teams and the thing that is going to happen is that the teams facing Netherlands in the World Cup would view it as a practice match to boost up their averages Cheesy.

Taking position on the final slot of Icc world cup of Netherlands also make me a bit of amazed. Because I see that Zimbabwe is loosing opportunity this time. Event then let's congratulate Netherlands team for the next Icc world cup because even if there is any other team in the position that the Netherlands will play, some of those big strong teams will also see as a team to boost their averages.

Sri Lanka haven't lost any of the matches in the World Cup Qualifier. With its previous win Netherlands is highly confident to chase targets. However to play against experienced teams is still a struggle. The score of 233 runs seems a reachable target, but Sri Lanka is getting better in its bowling order. Particularly the spinners were performing good, today the fast bowlers have been giving good break from the beginning. Already Madushanka have taken 3 wickets as Netherlands have lost 4 wickets scoring 39 runs in 8 overs.
In both matches against the Netherlands, we saw some poor batting from the Sri Lankan batsmen. In the previous match, Sri Lanka's collection was 213 runs. And today they managed to collect 233 runs. But the Sri Lankan bowlers bowled well in both these matches. Netherlands batsmen are not able to survive at the crease against Sri Lanka's experienced bowlers. The Netherlands team lost 5 wickets to collect only 41 runs. However, the match is not important for either team. Because they have already qualified for the World Cup. Even so, I don't think the Netherlands will bat that badly. Collecting 100 runs is now a tough task for the Netherlands.
It seems like Srilanka will easily win this final match at Harare against Netherlands. Although I thought that Srilanka did not make good runs as they could only reach 233 but this seems to be more than enough for them. They were all out in the 47th over. Sahan Arachchige  made 57 runs and was the highest run maker from Srilanka.
Netherlands had the worst possible chase in this match. They are 6 down for 82 runs. All their batsmen completely failed today.
Only Max O'Dowd is batting  at 33 and the rest are unable to reach even double figures.
There are many reasons why the Netherlands in particular failed today, one of which is the high fall of wickets. The two opening batsmen performed slightly better and none of the later players performed well. In this case I see three players getting out for 0 which is unfortunate for Netherlands. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka performed well from the beginning and their performance at the end was the best. Sahan only batted well in Sri Lanka and Maheesh fell by four wickets in terms of bowling. Their performance was enough for Sri Lanka to clinch the ICC World Cup 2023.

Although the Netherlands team has qualified for the World Cup, this team is not very strong. Because their batsmen cannot play well against experienced bowlers.

The Netherlands scored 192 runs against Sri Lanka in the previous match and today they scored only 105 runs. I don't think this team can play well in the World Cup. They will lose every match.

Netherlands batting did not play well in today's match. No player from the Netherlands has scored fifty runs. Sri Lanka bowled brilliantly today, Mahesh Thekshana 4 wickets, Dilshan Madushanka 3 wickets, Wanindu Hasranga 2 wickets. Congratulations to the Sri Lankan team.
Sri Lanka vs Netherlands
 I enjoyed a very nice match between the two teams. I did not expect the Netherlands to lose so badly. After seeing the runs that Sri Lanka gave with batting today, I first understood that the Netherlands will not be able to win beyond this run. Due to the weakness of the batsmen of the Netherlands team, in this match such  Netherlands has performed badly. I know Sri Lanka is a very strong team but their batting has to face many problems due to bad performance. Today Sri Lanka won by 128 runs.

I know Sri Lanka is a very strong team but their batting has to face many problems due to bad performance. Today Sri Lanka won by 128 runs.

So the qualifier matches ended with expected results. Srilanka was outstanding through out this whole competition and they deserved to win final. West indies and Zimbabwe  excluded from world cup which is very bad for both team. Netherland will play in world cup but this last final match i concluded that even they are qualified to play wc23 but their team is weak to compete world class team. Srilanka bowling is too good and need some consistency in batting for world cup.
Finally the World Cup qualifier have ended. West Indies team out of the World Cup is a big disappointment. In the qualifier more and more surprising results happened. Scotland missed the opportunity at the end. Netherlands performance against West Indies is something unforgettable. The Super over performance from Logan Van Beek is the best in recent years that no balls ended as dot ball. In such a with lot of good performance and more record breaking ODI World Cup qualifier have come to an end.
