This is Singapore. They are not even in Division 2.
Zimbabwe (a Test nation) shouldn't lose to a team like Singapore.
Netherlands is actually a pretty good team. They can beat many Test nations.

We lost a T20 game to Hong Kong, that too at home. Before this game, previous one ZIM won against Afghans, that too with 6 wickets & 6 balls at hand.
In T20, there are at least 10-12 associates, that can beat a Test nation. The shorter the game, the skill gap reduces. Also, better teams are better because they have more better quality players - in a longer game, someone will stand. T20 is too short to bring the depth into the game effectively.
There are games like Beach soccer, Futsol, Sepak Takraw .... played with a ball on feet and some (most for first two) soccer rules are applied there - that doesn't mean we call Futsol mini soccer. T20 is a comic relief - something clowns do before the show, shouldn't be considered as cricket.

Zimbabwe and Nepal have been readmitted as ICC Members following the conclusion of the ICC Board meetings in Dubai today.
Zimbabwe was readmitted by the ICC Board following a meeting with the ICC Chairman and Chief Executive, Zimbabwe Cricket Chairman Tavengwa Mukuhlani and Zimbabwe Sports Minister Kirsty Coventry and Gerald Mlotshwa, the Chairman of the Sports and Recreation Commission. They had been suspended in July 2019 following government interference in the running of the Board.
ICC Chairman Shashank Manohar said: “I would like to thank the Zimbabwe Sports Minister for her commitment to the reinstatement of Zimbabwe Cricket. Her desire to work in support of Zimbabwe Cricket was clear and she has unconditionally complied with the conditions set down by the ICC Board. Funding to Zimbabwe Cricket will continue to be on a controlled basis as part of a collective effort behind getting the game in Zimbabwe back on an even keel.”
Zimbabwe will now be able to take up their place in the ICC Men’s U19 Cricket World Cup in January and the ICC Super League later in 2020.

The recently retired Zimbabwe player Hamilton Masakadza will begin his new role of director of cricket (DoC) for Zimbabwe Cricket next month.
He will be Zimbabwe's first DoC, a position created as part of a restructuring approved by the board at their last meeting in August. In this role he will provide oversight to the national team, and be responsible for "recruitment, management and interaction of senior cricket technical staff within the cricket affairs department" as well as "defining policy, strategy and programmes of 'best practice' throughout all aspects of the ZC cricket pathway"
During his 19-year international career Masakadza represented his country more than 300 times – in 68 Tests, 209 ODIs, and 66 T20Is. In this time he racked up more than 2000 Test runs, as well as 5658 runs and 39 wickets in ODIs. Masakadza retired from international cricket only last month, finishing on a high by scoring 71 from only 42 balls in a tight victory over Afghanistan during the Bangladesh T20I tri-series. He was also captain in all three formats for his country, meaning he will now oversee the appointment of his successor.
Chairman of Zimbabwe Cricket, Tavengwa Mukuhlani, is looking forward to Maskadza's tenure believing he is capable of playing a big part in the shaping of the future of cricket in the country and beyond. "This is a key appointment that clearly indicates our desire to strengthen our cricket across all levels while also improving the game administratively," Mr Mukuhlani said in a press statement.
"We are therefore excited about Hamilton taking up the role, which will see him bringing a fresh perspective to the administration of cricket and helping us to shape the future of our game. I have no doubt that his incredible passion for Zimbabwe cricket, massive knowledge of our game and the wealth of experience that he gained from playing at the highest level will help transform ZC (Zimbabwe Cricket) and see him becoming a respected leader in the sport."

Zimbabwe will host Ireland for six limited-overs internationals in April, in Ireland’s first tour of the country since the 2018 ICC World Cup Qualifier.
The tour will comprise three T20 internationals, on 2, 4 and 5 April, followed by three one-day internationals, on 8, 10 and 12 April. All the matches will be played at Bulawayo’s Queens Sports Club.
This will be Ireland’s first bilateral series in Zimbabwe since October 2015. On that occasion, the hosts had prevailed 2-1. Their only other encounter in these conditions, in 2010, also ended in the same margin.
Cricket Ireland, meanwhile, is keeping a close watch on the spread of the coronavirus ahead of the tour. Ireland’s women’s team had recently called off a tour of Thailand over fears around the epidemic.
"Cricket Ireland is liaising with both Irish and British governments, as well as working closely with sporting authorities north and south, to ensure we are fully informed and confident that sending a squad to Zimbabwe will be safe for players, staff and travelling fans," the board said.
"At present, there are no travel restrictions to Zimbabwe, but the situation is developing on an almost daily basis. Since our foremost priority is duty of care to players and support staff, we shall continue to monitor the situation, and comply with the appropriate advice."

HARARE, DUBLIN – Zimbabwe Cricket and Cricket Ireland have today agreed to postpone the planned six-match men’s series between the two sides scheduled to be played in Zimbabwe next month.
While there are no current Irish government travel restrictions or prohibitions relating to Zimbabwe, the two governing bodies believed the risk posed by travel, and the fast-changing nature of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic required a prudent and safety-first approach to protect the health of players, coaching staff and fans.
Givemore Makoni, Managing Director of Zimbabwe Cricket, said:
“We were looking forward to hosting Ireland in Bulawayo next month, but with the world in the throes of a public health emergency on a scale not witnessed in over a century, postponing the tour was the only reasonable decision.
“Indeed, the mutually agreed decision to postpone the series is the right thing to do, given the worsening Coronavirus pandemic and the overwhelming priority to safeguard the players, fans and the entire cricket community.
“We are looking to reschedule the tour once the pandemic has been brought under control.”
Warren Deutrom, Chief Executive of Cricket Ireland, said:
“This is the only reasonable decision in the circumstances, as we all play our part in containing the spread of COVID-19. We have taken the advice of Irish and British governments, as well as relevant health and sports bodies, and will take a safety-first approach to our operations over coming weeks and months.”
“Apart from the players and coaches, it is the families and social circles that we are conscious of, and to tour at this point would cause unnecessary risk to the wider community.”
“We pass on our thanks to Givemore and all of Zimbabwe Cricket for so readily agreeing with this position, and we shall work with Zimbabwe Cricket to seek a new date for the tour when we are all in a position to plan for the future with greater certainty.”

ZIMBABWE Cricket have set up regional men’s and women’s competitions that will see the game being played across all formats in a bio-secure bubble environment as part of the preparations for the upcoming international assignments against Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The association’s spokesman, Darlington Majonga, said plans are at an advanced stage for the establishment of Northern and Southern Region teams ahead of next month’s engagements.
The Zimbabwe senior men’s national team are set to tour Afghanistan next month for two Test matches and three T20 international games while the women’s side are expected to host Pakistan in Harare.
However, the preparations have been disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic restrictions. The association has applied for exemptions from the Government in order to fulfil the fixtures. “With all domestic competitions currently on hold due to the Covid-19 restrictions imposed by the Government, the regional games will be held in a bio-secure bubble and will play a crucial role in preparing the national teams for important international assignments,” said Majonga.
“On the other hand, the Zimbabwe senior women’s national team — desperate for game time having last played nearly two years ago — are in need of serious preparations before they can face their Pakistan counterparts in three one-day matches and two T20s next month.
“So to make up for the time lost due to the pandemic and best prepare the national teams for the international assignments, ZC has put in place plans for the regional games that are also set to become a permanent fixture on the domestic calendar.
“These games will basically serve as training camps for the national sides,” said Majonga.
Zimbabwe national team batting coach Stuart Matsikenyeri was named as the Northerns men head coach and will be assisted by Eric Chauluka. The other members of the technical side are Stanley Chioza (fielding coach), Njabulo Ncube (bowling coach), Walter Karimanzira (fitness coach) and Travor Wambe (physiotherapist).
Southerns will be led by national team bowling coach Douglas Hondo (head coach) with Mufaro Chiturumani as assistant coach. Shepherd Makunura (fielding coach), Walter Chawaguta (batting coach), Walter Karimanzira (fitness trainer) and Travor Wambe (physiotherapist) complete the Southerns’ technical set-up.
Zimbabwe and Afghanistan are still to agree on the finer details of the tour, which is likely to take place in Oman. Zimbabwe Cricket director of cricket Hamilton Masakadza said the dates originally suggested by the Afghanistan Cricket Board were too close to the recent announcement of a sporting ban in Zimbabwe as a result of the rise of Covid-19 cases.
The Chevrons faced a huge dilemma since they had no enough time to prepare for the series. Their opponents Afghanistan are currently hosting Ireland in United Arab Emirates.
The women’s side are set to break their two-year hiatus from international cricket when they play Pakistan in three one-dayers and two T20 matches in Harare next month.
The proposed tour, which is subject to approval from government due to the COVID-19 restrictions currently in place, will be held in a bio-secure bubble with no spectators allowed at the match venue.
All matches are scheduled to be played at Harare Sports Club, starting with the one-dayers on February 11, 13 and 15. The T20 games have been set for February 18 and 20 February.
“The series will mark the first time the Zimbabwe senior women’s team will be involved in international cricket since May 2019.
“Both Zimbabwe and Pakistan will be using the tour as part of their preparations for the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2021, a 10-team tournament that will be held in June and July.
“The top three teams from that qualifying event will progress to the 50-over ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022 in New Zealand.
“The Pakistan senior women’s team are currently touring South Africa and agreed to stop over in Harare after Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) engaged the Pakistan Cricket Board prior to the latest Covid-19 lockdown restrictions imposed by the Government.
“But ZC, having already successfully hosted domestic competitions in a controlled environment, will host the Pakistan women series in a bio-secure bubble in order to greatly minimise the risk of the coronavirus spreading,” said ZC in a statement.
ZC have also set up Northern and Southern teams for the preparations. Former fast bowler Trevor Garwe will be the head coach at Northerns women, with Susan Kudzibatira as his assistant.
Sinikiwe Mpofu will be the head coach at Southerns women, with Trevor Phiri named as co-coach. Anesu Mupotaringa will be the physiotherapist for both women’s teams, while the fitness trainer for the sides will be announced in due course.

Zimbabwe's national cricket team is set to continue its busy home schedule this year when they host Bangladesh for a July full series involving all three formats of the game.
The Bangladesh cricket team is scheduled to tour Zimbabwe in July to play one Test, three one-day internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20I) matches.
The two sides were initially scheduled to play two Tests but the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced that it has dropped one Test and replaced it with an additional T20I due its domestic schedule.
"We have decided to deduct one Test from the tour and add one T20. We have taken this decision in order to accommodate some time from BPL," said BCB cricket operation chairman Akram Khan.

DHAKA: Bangladesh's tour of Zimbabwe for a one-off Test, three ODIs and an equal number of T20 Internationals will go ahead as scheduled after the Zimbabwe Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) gave Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) the permission to host the series in July.
There was uncertainty over the tour following the Zimbabwe government's directive to cease all sports activity on June 14 owing to the Covid-19 situation in the country.
The unofficial second 'Test' between South Africa A and Zimbabwe A was suspended earlier in June and ZC had appealed to SRC to consider the Bangladesh team tour.
This will be the second men's series the county has hosted since the pandemic began. Zimbabwe had previously staged two Tests and three T20Is against Pakistan in April and also hosted the Pakistan women's side and South Africa A side, although both those series had to be suspended midway.
The Bangladesh tour will commence with a one-off Test (July 7-11) followed by three ODIs, which are part of the World Cup Super League.
The two teams last met in March 2020 when Zimbabwe toured Bangladesh and lost the one-off Test, three ODIs and two T20Is.
Ahead of the tour, Bangladesh have some injury concerns as their wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim has sustained a hairline fracture on his left index finger, which could affect his prospects of touring Zimbabwe.
Rahim, who plays for Abahani Limited in the Dhaka Premier League T20 tournament, sustained the fracture during his team's match against Gazi Group Cricketers on Monday.

The 29-year-old off-spinner was reported with a suspect bowling action during the one-off Test against Bangladesh played in Harare in July.
The International Cricket Council today announced that an independent assessment has found the bowling action of Zimbabwe’s Roy Kaia to be illegal and, as such, he has been suspended from bowling in international cricket with immediate effect.
In accordance with Article 11.1 of the ICC Regulations For The Review of Bowlers Reported with Suspect Illegal Bowling Actions, Kaia’s international suspension will also be recognised and enforced by all National Cricket Federations for domestic cricket events played in their own jurisdiction.
However, according to Article 11.5 of the Regulations and with the consent of Zimbabwe Cricket, Kaia may be able to bowl in domestic cricket events played under their auspices.
The 29-year-old off-spinner was reported with a suspect bowling action during the one-off Test against Bangladesh played in Harare from 7-11 July.
An Expert Panel reviewed footage of Kaia’s bowling action, as assessment at an ICC accredited centre was not possible due to various restrictions resulting from Covid-19.
The Panel concluded that his deliveries exceeded the 15 degrees level of tolerance permitted under the regulations and his bowling action was illegal.
Kaia can apply for a re-assessment after modifying his bowling action in accordance with the ICC Regulations.
