Now that Scotland has a superior NRR to ours, by what margin should we win on Tuesday, in the event that they go on to beat the Dutch?

NRR was only going to be a factor if we lost v Scotland. But now we have to win no matter what so don’t worry about NRR.

Not true! ZIM could lose to Scotland, but NED could also beat them, leading to a tie on 6 points where NRR comes back into play!

Except ours is now below Scotland's s o we have to hope Netherlands pump them.
Re: POINTS - Permutations
Zimbabwe cannot worry about the NRR now, they must beat Scotland, no matter what. It is a winner take all.
I cannot see the Dutch smashing Scotland anyways, although they themselves will stay in the hunt should Zimbabwe lose to Scotland.

Dutch would probably only need to beat Scotland by 35-40 runs.

Re: POINTS - Permutations
We would need Netherlands to rape them, but not gang rape them, because then all of a sudden the Dutch might sneak ahead on NRR.
Ands then after the rape, we will need to push scotland to the limit if we lose.

Re: POINTS - Permutations
NRR is not a factor for Zimbabwe, because theirs is so bad now. For Zimbabwe it’s win or you’re out.Kriterion_BD wrote: ↑Sun Jul 02, 2023 2:21 pm
