TEAMS PREVIEW

Netherlands Women Preview

Netherlands Women fell short in their chase, finishing on 118/9 in 20 overs and losing by 8 runs after Papua New Guinea Women set a target of 126. Sterre Kalis played a solid knock of 40 from 38 balls to keep the innings steady, while Robine Rijke added 29 from 37 deliveries, but the scoring pace remained slow. 

Phebe Molkenboer chipped in with 10, and Sanya Khurana provided late hope with an unbeaten 15 off 11 balls, but regular wickets halted momentum. Captain Babette de Leede was dismissed early, and the middle order struggled to build partnerships. 

With the ball, Caroline de Lange and Iris Zwilling picked up a wicket each, but the bowlers could not prevent PNG from posting a defendable total. This defeat has seriously damaged Netherlands Women’s title chances, leaving them needing to win their next three matches with a big net run rate boost while also relying on other results to stay alive in the tournament.

Netherlands Women Predicted Playing XI:

Sterre Kalis, Phebe Molkenboer, Babette de Leede (c & wk), Robine Rijke, Myrthe van den Raad, Sanya Khurana, Frederique Overdijk, Iris Zwilling, Caroline de Lange, Isabel van der Woning, Silver Siegers

Namibia Women Preview

Namibia Women struggled with the bat and were bowled out for just 74 runs in 16.2 overs, setting a below-par total that put them on the back foot early. Captain Sune Wittmann fell cheaply, and regular wickets throughout the innings prevented any partnerships from building. 

Edelle van Zyl showed some resistance with 12 runs, while Mekelaye Mwatile top-scored with 15 off 32 balls, trying to hold the innings together. Small contributions from Jurriene Diergaardt and Naomi Benjamin added brief hope, but the side couldn’t push the scoring rate, finishing with a run rate of 4.53. 

Namibia bowled with effort in defence of the low total, with Naomi Benjamin taking 2 wickets and Mwatile picking up one, but the target was too small to challenge. Scotland chased it down quickly in 8.4 overs, leaving Namibia searching for stronger batting display against the Dutch. 

Namibia Women Predicted Playing XI:

Sune Wittmann, Edelle van Zyl, Kayleen Green, Yasmeen Khan, Merczerly Gorases, Mekelaye Mwatile, Wilka Mwatile, Jurriene Diergaardt, Naomi Benjamin, Eveleen Kejarukua, Leigh Marie Visser

Toss: To Bat

Teams batting first won seven of the last eight matches played at Terdthai Cricket Ground in the ongoing Women's Emerging Nations Trophy 2025 and we predict the team that wins the toss will more likely opt to bat first.
