Zimbabwean cricket team in the Netherlands in 2017

The Zimbabwe cricket team toured the Netherlands in June 2017 to play three List A matches.[1] Some sources stated the matches would be One Day International (ODI) fixtures.[2][3] However, the Netherlands do not have ODI status,[1] so the matches were List A status only. The fixtures followed Zimbabwe's matches in Scotland.[1] Zimbabwe won the series 2–1.[4]
