Bas Zuiderent hit a brilliant 116 not out against the Emirates

A brilliant 116 not out by opener Bas Zuiderent guided the Dutch to a match-winning 287 for four.

Middle-order duo Tim de Leede and Ryan ten Doeschate also contributed with swift knocks of 65 apiece.

Ireland and Scotland will battle it out for the ICC Trophy on Wednesday in Dublin - the winners getting a spot in the Australia group, the losers joining Pakistan, West Indies and Zimbabwe.

Canada's win over Bermuda put them in England's group.
