Here are the Fantasy Cricket Predictions and Betting Tips for the 1st Match of Netherlands T20I Tri-Series, which will be played between Netherlands and Canada on 23rd of August at the SV Kampong Cricket, Utrecht.
Points Table
1st Match- Netherlands vs Canada (SV Kampong Cricket, Utrecht)
Current T20I Form Netherlands:
Netherlands are currently placed at the 15th position on ICC Men’s T20 Team Rankings with a rating of 184.
Netherlands have been performing very well in the ODI format and haven’t lost a single match in the last 5 outings; however, they would be fresh off from a single win ICC Men’s T20 World Cup held recently.
Netherlands are a strong side and despite their loose form, they can certainly dominate the two sides in the Tri Series.
Players to look out for:
1. Max O’Dowd – He performed superbly in the recent ODI matches played as part of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup League 2. Max O’Dowd is a hard hitter of the cricket ball and he is expected to be Netherlands’ best batter in the upcoming matches.
2. Aryan Dutt – He is a very accurate bowler who can provide breakthroughs for his team in the Powerplay overs. Dutt will play a key role for Netherlands in the upcoming matches.
Current T20I Form Canada:
Canada are currently placed at the 23rd position on ICC Men’s T20 Team Rankings with a rating of 129.
Canada have been in dismal form in ODI cricket. However, they showed signs of brilliance in the recently concluded ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Their players are also fresh off the Global T20 Canada. Canada should be able to perform well in the Dutch cricketing conditions.
Canada are the underdogs going into the tournament and there’s a heavy doubt if they will emerge winners of the Netherlands T20I Tri-Series.
Players to look out for:
1. Nicholas Kirton – After a great Global T20 Canada event, Kirton will be looking to continue his good form in the Tri Series as well, especially after he found a promotion as a captain of the side.
2. Saad Bin Zafar – He bowls with utmost accuracy and guile. Zafar can turn the match on its head in a matter of few balls. He is expected to be Canada’s best bowler in the Netherlands T20I Tri-Series.
Let’s have a look at the squads:
Netherlands
Scott Edwards (captain), Musa Ahmad, Shariz Ahmad, Wesley Barresi, Noah Croes, Aryan Dutt, Oli Elenbaas, Clayton Floyd, Viv Kingma, Kyle Klein, Ryan Klein, Michael Levitt, Max O’Dowd, Vikram Singh, Paul van Meekeren. Reserve: Daniel Doram
