A captain’s innings from Helmien Rambaldo helped the Netherlands claim their spot in the semi-final of the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier as they defeated Bermuda by 196 runs.

Rambaldo’s 59, scored at more than a run a ball, earned her the Player of the Match Award, and helped her side on their way to a total of 283-8 in their 50 overs, although it was extras (94) which was the top scorer after an incredible 81 wides.

And although Bermuda improved on their total of 13 all-out against South Africa, they could only manage 85 all-out in their innings, with Annemarie Tanke the pick of the bowlers with 3-18.

The Netherlands face South Africa on Thursday in a match with full ODI status, to decide who will top Pool A, and face a semi-final against leading Pool B contenders, Ireland or Zimbabwe.

Match Summary:
Netherlands won by 196 runs
Netherlands 281 all out (50 overs, Rambaldo 59)
Bermuda 85 all out (36.5 overs, Jackson 26, Tanke 3-18)
