Leading up to the tournament, the Netherlands has practiced white-ball cricket quite a bit. A total of four ODIs were played against Afghanistan, New Zealand, the West Indies and England, but no match was won. Furthermore, the team also played a T20I series against New Zealand in August, which was won by the Kiwis.
