Chasing down 302 was always going to be a daunting task for Netherlands. Their most talented batsman Daan Van Bunge, though, was not willing to give up easily. He made an attractive 37 off 47 balls, which included five stylish boundaries, before being trapped lbw by Guy Whittall. Netherlands by that stage were well and truly outplayed and a predictable 99-run defeat followed. With the emphatic win, Zimbabwe, then, moved to 12 points for five matches, keeping alive their dreams of making it to the Super Six stage.
