Netherlands were shot out for 40 odd by Karnataka too,

 

Dunno how they qualified. Undeserving.

They qualified due to the superhuman effort of Logan Van Beek. Smashed quickfire runs to score a tie chasing a mammoth total.,smashed 30 again in the superover and took 2 wickets. Ned were not meant to lose that day. It just wasn't the day of the West Indies.

Starc is deadly if it swings. 

Yes.. That's why I would never prefer chasing under lights. The ball might do crazy things not in this stadium anyways

Yes, but showing their true colours now,. That's why 1-2 games shouldn't decide these spots

I doubt current WI team will put a better fight, tbh

 

They will. Guys like Mayers,Pooran,Hetmyer,Powell can smash most on their day.

See, Dutch beat RSA last year in the T20 WC as well. They may lack in ability, but at least have the self-belief against the big teams. Like Ireland of 2011, Zimbabwe last year. Self-belief is more important for these minnow sides, often due to gulf in quality they give up before 1st ball is bowled. Netherlands will keep fighting, improving and give a couple of teams some big scares. They deserved to qualify.

They are best associate country on display.  They wipe the floor with Irish &,  Scots in Europe qualifiers.  

Automatic qualification secured to next T20 WC as well courtesy win over SA. 

Even in WC qualifiers most of their main players were playing county. 

 

Poyzz barely managed to beat them with their full strength side.

Why does it have to be round robin format. Why can't they have 16 teams and have two groups.

 

They might have some bad matches but that is how you build weaker teams.

 

This is an complete brainchild of ECB and ACB, they didn't want to waste money as hosts .

 

Having two matches in a day is not going to be the end of world either for ICC.

WI would have certainly beaten Pak :cantstop:, 2015 and 2019 what they did to poyzzz was better than what we ever managed. Trolling of the highest order.
