Next WC is in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia and will have 14 teams
Given the Dutch are missing a lot of first choice players due to County Cricket, they’ve been doing pretty well all tournament. Hope they get up here, but seen associates get into the sort of position against full members before, only for the full member to come out on top

You could argue the top associate teams are more competitive against the bottom 6 full member nations (SL, WI, Ban, Afg, Zim, Ire) than those bottom 6 full member nations are against the top 6 full member nations.

The Dutchies might be a chance of pulling off another upset here, if they can keep Sri Lanka to below 200 they will be a good chance.

2019 finished with some outright classics. From memory, the league phase was pretty lacklustre until a very late upset added some life.

Another wicket for the Dutch.
Sri Lanka's coach Chris Silverwood not looking too happy with what his players are serving up.

They are a decent team now and have some pretty good cricketers, they would be worthy of a World Cup spot if they can get there.

I presume it goes towards the ranking system. Afterall Ireland is currently playing USA in a playoff match

Assume ranking is important. But we have to remember this eyars world cup is a round robin world cup, so the top 2 teams here, will face each other in World Cup as well.

Its very much secondary, but a trophy and some prize money. It seems odd to have a tournament without a winner, even if that's not the big prize. But for SL or WI, it would hardly take prime position among the trophies.
The super league system, is getting ditched, but it might also impact whose games count as "ODIs" officially after the WC during the next cycle?

The playoff would count to the rankings presumably, but as much as anything its a chance for some teams that don't get much cricket to have an extra game or two. They are already in the country, its presumably not that expensive to hold an extra couple of games.
