Dutch and Sri Lankans target final success after qualification

Dubai, July 08, 2023 (PPI-OT): The Netherlands clinched a place at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 with a dramatic victory over Scotland and now skipper Scott Edwards has set his sights on winning the Qualifier.

Heroics from Bas de Leede, who hit a maiden ODI century after taking his first five-wicket haul, helped the Dutch to a four-wicket win over Scotland, chasing down the target inside 44 overs to overtake their opponents’ net run-rate.

That clinched second spot in the Super Six and a place at the World Cup, and now the Netherlands will look to finish the tournament by becoming the first team to beat Sri Lanka.

The 1996 World Cup winners have won seven out of seven in Zimbabwe, most recently cruising to an eight-wicket win over the West Indies.

But despite the size of the task facing his team, Edwards is greedy for more success.

He said: “Going into the tournament, qualifying was part of it, but we wanted to win the tournament.

“So once we celebrated qualifying, we’ve moved straight onto preparing for this game and we’re looking forward to hopefully playing a good game of cricket tomorrow.”

Edwards scored an unbeaten 67 the first time the sides met, Sri Lanka winning by 21 runs despite being held to just 213 batting first.

That was one of the few games in which Dutch openers Max O’Dowd and Vikramjit Singh had failed to fire, both going for ducks – and Edwards admits that it was the batting that was the issue in that Super Six clash.

He added: “As a batting group, we know we have got to play better than we did last time against them. Hopefully we can show that we are a better batting unit than we did the last time.

“Throughout the tournament, Max and Vikram have been sensational, probably two of the better openers at this tournament so for us, they have played a massive part in us qualifying and hopefully they can keep doing what they are doing and set the platform for us.”

Sri Lanka have lived up to their billing as one of the pre-tournament favourites, with that win over the Netherlands, the closest any team has come against them.

Skipper Dasun Shanaka revealed that the squad will be at full strength for the final in Harare and is confident they can wrap up the tournament with a final win.

He said: “As a full member country, it’s important to win this series and the way we have played in this tournament, I am sure we will do well and win.

“What is important is to continue the winning streak while controlling our strengths.”

As well as meeting in the Super Six, the teams also played a warm-up match against one another, and Shanaka has been impressed by the Dutch in those two meetings, particularly their ability to play the situation of a game to perfection.

He added: “They are good side, they have played good cricket, reaching their potential. They stick to their basics really well.

“When it comes to the Netherlands batting, I think they analyse really well. They understand the situation. What we saw from their batting, they had a plan when it came to the second game (in the tournament). We saw that they came with a really good plan going into the second game. We expect something from them, but we are prepared as well and have our own plans.”

Punjab University Vice Chancellor condemns desecration of the Holy Quran

Lahore, July 08, 2023 (PPI-OT): Punjab University Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Khalid Mahmood has said in his message on the ‘Youm e Taqdees-e-Quran’ that around 14 hundred years ago, when the world including Europe was not familiar with human rights, such a book was revealed in the form of the Holy Quran that taught the world not only to respect humanity and each other’s rights but also to take care of animals. He said that in the Holy Quran, the secrets related to the creation and existence of the universe were revealed 14-hundred years ago, which today’s scientists are surprised to know with the help of modern technology.

He said that many scientists have also embraced Islam after being inspired by the knowledge of the universe in the Holy Quran. The VC said that Islam is a religion of peace and the desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden has caused grief and anger among the Muslims around the world. He said that certain elements want to achieve nefarious goals by inciting the feelings of Islamophobia.

He said that all religions of the world condemn the spread of hateful sentiments and therefore, the United Nations should play a practical role to permanently prevent such incidents of insulting religions. He said that the Swedish government should take strict action against the people involved in such incidents that hurt the sentiments of Muslims because Muslims will not tolerate any action against the sanctity of the Holy Quran and the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W).
