It will be a do-or-die match for both teams as they look to stay in the race for the semi-finals. Zimbabwe are at number 4 currently with 2 points from 3 matches just behind UAE on NRR.
The Netherlands Women, even after a crushing defeat in their last game continue to hold the second ranking in the points table courtesy of a better NRR than the UAE Women.
Heather Siegers will be concerned about her team’s batting performance in the last match. After scoring 154 runs against Vanuatu, Netherlands Women finished with 101 for 9 in the very next game.
At the Tolerance Oval in Abu Dhabi, Zimbabwe Women ed their first win of the tournament after they restricted UAE to 105 for 9 bowling first. Skipper Mary-Anne Musonda will be the key batter for Zimbabwe in the middle-order.

Zimbabwe Women will be backing themselves to repeat what they did the last time they played at this venue. It was a brilliant bowling performance to restrict the UAE to just 105 runs.
However, in the very next game, Zimbabwe conceded 176 runs bowling first against Ireland. They are now up against a struggling Dutch batting lineup that does not have many in-form, reliable batters.
As such, Nkomo, Audrey Mazvishaya, and Lindokuhle Mabhero will be the ones to watch out for with the ball. Skipper Musonda will likely opt to bowl first to give her team the best chance of winning this match.
At the same time, she will also need from her top-order if they are to chase down the target in a quick time thereby improving their strike rate.
Opening batters Sharne Mayers and Modester Mupachikwa have been quite underwhelming with their performances so far. Mupachikwa scored 27 off 28 and 22 off 33 in her last two innings.
Apart from these two, Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano at number 3 and skipper Musonda are the only promising players in this batting lineup. They were quite impressive in the successful run chase against the UAE.
It won’t be an easy outing for Zimbabwe and a lot will depend on the toss. Nevertheless, they will fancy their chances on this ground against this Netherlands side.
Sharne Mayers, Modester Mupachikwa (wk), Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano, Mary-Anne Musonda (c), Ashley Ndiraya, Josephine Nkomo, Kelis Ndlovu, Pellagia Mujaji, Audrey Mazvishaya, Francisca Chipare, Lindokuhle Mabhero

The Netherlands Women were handed a 10-wicket loss in their last game. They started as favorites after their convincing in their opening game. And with their opposition struggling with the bat, it was clear that the Netherlands had the upper hand going into the match.
However, after Siegers opted to bat first, UAE bowlers delivered some brilliant spells to which the Dutch batters had no answers. The Netherlands were 4 down 49 runs in the 8th Over.
After a small partnership between Robine Rijke and Frederique Overdijk came to an end in the 14th Over, the Netherlands suffered another collapse. They went from 82 for 5 to 85 for 8 in no time.
Rijke was the top scorer with 44 off 36 balls at number 4. Skipper Heather Siegers has failed to get going at the top in both matches so far. And this is a huge concern for the Netherlands Women going ahead.
They need the top-order to strike and without a good start, they would be looking at yet another batting collapse. The opposition was exceptional with the ball on this ground in their last outing here.
We believe Siegers was wrong in opting to bat first and should be looking to bowl here in this match. Silver Siegers, Iris Zwilling, and Caroline de Lange will be the key bowlers in this lineup.

It is a balanced wicket where batters enjoyed scoring big early on in this tournament but lately, the bowlers have had the upper hand. The weather will be mostly sunny with a high of 33 degrees Celsius on the match day in Abu Dhabi.
Tolerance Oval in Abu Dhabi will be the venue for this match. It has seen some good batting performances from stronger teams but the bowlers have turned things around lately. We expect a tough outing for the batters in the 1st innings. And a 140+ 1st innings total should be quite a competitive total.
Though teams have managed to score well and defend the total on this ground in the early stages of the tournament, the current form of these two teams paints a different possibility. Bowling first should give them a much better chance of winning given their lack of batting form.
It is tricky to pick a winner between two teams that are equally struggling in the same departments. We reckon toss should play a big role in this match and the team bowling first will have the edge. Zimbabwe Women’s bowling looks quite threatening and that should give them a slight edge over the Netherlands.
