West Indies into 50-over qualifiers following South Africa’s win over Netherlands

South Africa closed in on October’s 50-over World Cup with an empathic 146-run win over the Netherlands – and ensured West Indies went into the qualifiers.

The victory took South Africa into eighth and the final qualification spot in the International Cricket Council’s World Cup Super League table.

Ireland must win all three of their games against Bangladesh from 9-14 May to match South Africa’s 98 points.

Net run-rate would then decide who progresses to the World Cup.

The other side will join two-time World Cup winners West Indies in the qualifiers, which take place in Zimbabwe between 18 June and 9 July.
