West Indies on brink of missing World Cup after sensational win by Netherlands

The possibility of West Indies missing out on playing at a World Cup for the first time is moving closer after they were stunned by the Netherlands in Zimbabwe.

The Dutch claimed an extraordinary Super Over win in the Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Harare after the two sides had made matching massive scores of 374.

Both teams were already assured of a place in the Super Six stage. The top two sides in that will advance to the main event in India later this year.

Points are carried over from the matches played against the sides who advance to the Super Six from the same pool. West Indies are going through, but lost both their matches against Zimbabwe and the Dutch, who are going through with them.

It means they will have to beat Sri Lanka, Oman and Scotland, then hope results go in their favour to stand a chance of qualifying.

The West Indies were the winners of the first two World Cups, back in 1975 and 1979.
