Reply to comment by kroxigor01 in The 17th-ranked minnow Netherlands cricket team have knocked the 3rd-ranked South Africans out of the World Cup in a stunning upset by TomtheDon2K

Next World Cup is 20 teams with 4 groups of 5.

Oh, but on checking Netherlands coming top 4 in their group today would still allow them to skip the qualification stage.

They certainly do want to automatically be in those 20 teams.

Yes, they had everything to play for. If Pakistan beats Bangladesh and India beat Zimbabwe, Netherlands qualifies.

They definitely need Zimbabwe to not beat India but they can benefit from a Bangladesh win as long as it's by an absurdly large Net Run Rate.
