Qualification Scenario
For the Dutch to go through, they must get the better of the already eliminated Sri Lanka and hope Nepal beats Bangladesh.
With a significant NRR gap to be bridged, Netherlands should be on the look out for a heavy win against the Lankans, while hoping Bangladesh slips up significantly against Nepal.
The Dutch though have the advantage of starting their game an hour after Bangladesh, which means they will have a better idea of what would be needed to make the cut.
South Africa is assured of the top spot in Group D after winning all four of its group games.
