CWC League-2 2026 Final-Leg Fixtures: NAM-OMA-UAE Decoder

If you're tracking the ODI World Cup 2027 qualification path, the CWC League-2 final leg in 2026 between Namibia, Oman and the UAE is a six-match round-robin window staged at Tilburg in the Netherlands. Each side plays the other twice, the points carry into the cumulative League-2 table, and the top three nations across the cycle advance to the ICC Qualifier. Here's the fixture grid, the qualification math, the broadcast plan and where tickets sit.

Final-Leg Fixture Grid

Tilburg's VRA Cricket Ground hosts all six fixtures across an 11-day window. ICC standard ODI timings apply.

Game 2	Day 3	OMA vs UAE	10:00	13:30	Tilburg

Game 5	Day 9	UAE vs OMA	10:00	13:30	Tilburg
Game 6	Day 11	OMA vs NAM	10:00	13:30	Tilburg

Tilburg's pitch is a true ODI surface, even bounce, slight slowness late on. Boundaries are a fair 65-68 metres square.

Qualification Math

CWC League-2 cumulates points across the cycle. Going into this leg, the standings expectation:

Team	Played	Won	Lost	NRR	Points (pre-leg)
Scotland	30	22	7	+0.85	44
Nepal	30	19	10	+0.41	38
Namibia	30	18	11	+0.32	36
Oman	28	16	11	+0.18	33
UAE	28	14	13	+0.05	28
Netherlands	28	13	14	-0.06	27
USA	30	11	18	-0.21	22

Top three at cycle close go to ICC Qualifier. Namibia needs roughly 4 wins from this 6-match leg to lock a top-three slot. Oman needs 5 to overhaul Namibia. UAE needs all 6 plus an NRR swing to leapfrog into the top three.

What to Watch on Each Match Day

• Gerhard Erasmus reaching 2,000 ODI runs is realistic in this leg.
• David Wiese's lower-order finish-rate sits above the Associate average.
• Aqib Ilyas's opening-stand reliability decides Oman's Powerplay scoring.
• UAE's spin pair of Karthik Meiyappan and Ahmed Raza is the most prolific Associate spin attack of the cycle.
