England have established themselves as the series leader and can now look forward to defending their crown at home.

Scotland and Ireland will make their World Cup debuts this summer after successfully qualifying through qualifying tournaments.

England vs Netherlands ODI
England overpowered the Netherlands in three one-day internationals to complete a clean sweep in their three one-day series against them, culminating in victory at Headingley – their first defeat at home since 2009. England’s new-look team, buoyed by Sam Billings and Phil Salt’s return, displayed no nerves while powering to an innings victory with ease.
The Netherlands struggled mightily on an excellent batting pitch, with none of their top five batsmen reaching 40 runs. Lower order batsmen faired better but England’s bowlers kept run-rate under control; Moeen Ali and Jos Buttler in particular excelled with the new ball while by the time spinners arrived they were already behind schedule.
Jason Roy commemorated his 100th cap with a century to guide England to an easy victory against Netherlands. His opening partnership of 139 runs with Salt put them in control early, though Jason would ultimately fall late due to injury. Netherlands never looked capable of matching such a high total; captain Pieter Seelaar had to bow out due to back pain.
England claimed victory by defeating Pakistan 3-0 and earning 10 World Cup Super League points, and Jos Buttler added another 62 runs as England closed on 265. Although not their best performance, England were always in control and did not allow Adil Rashid any runs from his bowlers; an encouraging end to a series that will provide valuable experience before facing Sri Lanka next month.
