Holland captain Luuk van Troost:

"It was so important for Dutch cricket that we qualified for the World Cup. If we had not qualified it would have been a disaster both on the playing side and financially."

"I think we deserved to qualify. I know we lost to Canada in the group but I think we are better than Canada and Bermuda."

Man of the match Bas Zuiderent:

"This is the most important innings I have played. This win has given me the biggest pleasure. I'm in very good nick at the moment but it was hard work at the beginning today."

"The biggest thing was to win and that was all that was in all of our minds all the way through.

Zuiderent on Bob Simpson:

"You can't beat the knowledge and experience that he has. He has the ability to recognise so many situations and keep things simple. We feel blessed that he was with us."

UAE captain Khurram Khan:

"We are feeling down and out. It was a heartbreaking defeat for us. We thought we had a chance in the first 20 overs but they got away from us and we threw away too many wickets."
