However, they have still not qualified for the next stage. If they lose this game and Namibia beat the United Arab Emirates in their next game, the Netherlands might face an early exit because they have the lowest net run rate among all three teams.
.
Sri Lanka on the other hand faced a humiliating defeat to Namibia but rose to the occasion and thrashed UAE by 79 runs to earn their first points. If they win against the Netherlands, they would advance to the Super 12 stages, and their net run rate is not an issue as they are far ahead of the Netherlands.
