Zimbabwe, who had won that tournament, had successfully defended 132 runs on the back of bundling out the opposition for 95 in the penultimate over. In what is going to be only the second Zimbabwe-Netherlands T20 World Cup match, Zimbabwe had won the first one in Sylhet eight years ago.
As far as the points table is concerned, Zimbabwe are at the fourth position after winning and losing a match each thus far. Only Group 2 team without a victory till now, Netherlands have lost all first their three Super 12 matches.
While Zimbabwe would want to continue their superior record against this opposition to stay alive for semi-final qualification, Netherlands would be having eyes on breaking a losing streak.
A double-header day at the Adelaide Oval will make it the last of the seven venues to host this tournament. Other than a couple of matches on Wednesday, the city will be hosting five more matches in this World Cup.
