Match 25 — 30 Nov 2025 | 5:30 AM (EAT) | Terdthai Cricket Ground, Bangkok
The Victoria Pearls will seek to make a strong finish when they face Netherlands in their final match of the ICC Women’s Emerging Nations Trophy 2025 on Sunday.
The Netherlands Women come into this fixture with strong momentum. In their most recent outing, they upstaged Scotland Women, who had been unbeaten in the tournament.
Their batting line-up has shown depth: top batters, including Sterre Kalis and Babette de Leede, have anchored the innings well, while their lower-middle order and hitters like Robine Rijke have provided late-overs acceleration when needed.
Uganda’s 7-wicket win over Tanzania showed potential, evidenced by disciplined bowling, smart fielding, and steady batting under pressure.
This match represents a crucial opportunity for the Victoria Pearls to restore confidence and climb up the standings before the tournament concludes.
Netherlands Women
Players like Sterre Kalis and Babette de Leede provide stability at the top and middle, while finishers like Robine Rijke can accelerate when needed.
Their seam and spin bowling combo has been effective. In recent games, bowlers like Frederique Overdijk and others have taken multiple wickets and defended totals successfully.
Uganda Women
In the victory over Tanzania, Uganda’s seamers and spinners combined with smart fielding (including run-outs) to shine.
Uganda must replicate the same and be sharp in the field to prevent boundaries and build dot-ball pressure.
If Uganda can control the Dutch top order with early wickets or tight bowling, and then build a sensible chase or defend a modest total, they could definitely create an upset.
A win for Netherlands Women will cement their strong position in the tournament and likely keep them in contention for the top spots.
For Uganda Women, this match is critical: a good performance could revive their campaign, boost team confidence.
