Both are in the same position and at the same time, they both have 6 points. That means after the match between the Netherlands, and Scotland, one team is going to be ahead of the other. This is certainly going to create a lot of difference because, at the end of the tournament, only two teams are going to qualify for the World Cup. 

Previous matches of the Netherlands vs Scotland:

Both Netherlands and Scotland have done brilliantly well in their previous match. They have ensured that they win with a big margin to maintain a good net run rate. You can see the highlights of these matches below. 

Netherlands vs Oman

The Netherlands certainly gave one of the best batting performances of the tournament, in this match. They went on to score a total of 362 runs. There was no way Oman could have defeated the Netherlands. Oman was able to score only 246 runs in 44 overs. This showed that not only batting but even bowling of the Netherlands was outstanding. From the Netherlands, Vikramjit Singh was certainly the best performer. He went on to score a brilliant century. That certainly acted as the most crucial inning. 

Scotland vs Zimbabwe

By batting first, Scotland was able to score only 234 runs. It was looking very easy for the Zimbabwe to score 235 runs target. However, it all changed when the Scottish bowlers started taking the command. It was mainly Chris Sole who took 3 wickets. Out of those 3 wickets, two were of the openers. 

So, the above performance of both the team in the previous match shows that they are in top form. That proves that the match between them is going to be a cracker.
