Netherlands vs Pakistan 3rd ODI Match Prediction
Match: NED vs PAK ODI Match Prediction
Time: 21 Aug, 02:30 PM (IST)
Series: 3rd ODI Match
Venue: Hazelaarweg – Rotterdam, Netherlands
Info:
Tom Cooper has scored 65 and 66 in the series so far and he is our tip for Netherlands’ highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, Vivian Kingma took two wickets in an over on Thursday and he is our pick for the hosts’ top wicket taker against Pakistan.
Babar Azam scored another ODI half-century in the second ODI and we expect the Pakistan skipper to be their highest run scorer against Netherlands in this match. Haris Rauf took 3-16 on Thursday to go with his figures of 3-67 in the opening game and we are backing the pace bowler to be Pakistan’s top wicket taker on Sunday.
Bas de Leede scored his highest ODI score in the second game of the series and we recommend backing him to hit over 20.5 runs in this clash.

Weather & Pitch Report:
⛅ Weather:
Sunnier earlier in the game before clouds take over. No danger of rain with the temperature a pleasant 20 degrees and above throughout.
🏟️ Pitch:
The surface produced a good contest between bat and ball on Thursday with plenty of pace still in the pitch. There was turn, but not a huge amount, for the spinners.
Toss Prediction:
Both sides have won a toss each in the series with both skippers choosing to bat first when they called correctly. We predict they will elect to bat first again ahead of this final ODI.

Team News:
NED Team News:
The hosts were able to name an unchanged side on Thursday and we would be very surprised if they made any changes to the team ahead of Sunday’s match. Every game against top opposition is of vital importance, particularly with the T20 World Cup round the corner. Netherlands have a fully fit squad to select from.
PAK Team News:
Although there could be a temptation to bring back left-arm pace bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi for this game, the team management may err on the side of caution and allow him some more recovery time before playing competitively. The selected team have performed well so far and we expect the same XI to be picked for this ODI.

Winning Chances:
Who will win today’s match: NED vs PAK ODI Match Fantasy Team
When the hardness goes out of the new ball after around 10 overs, this pitch becomes very nice to bat on. Therefore, negotiating the opening bowlers is key. Pakistan have genuine pace and the upper hand in this area. We expect Netherlands to fight and to be competitive but are predicting another win for Pakistan.
Final Verdict
Pakistan are favourites to beat Netherlands
NED Key Players:
Tom Cooper:
the 35 year old has played 28 ODIs and continues to deliver for Netherlands at this level. He averages 47.20 and has looked in excellent touch throughout this series.
Scott Edwards:
the skipper saw his run of successive ODI half-centuries come to an end when he was dismissed for five in the second game. However, he averages over 40 in this format and is crucial to the success of the side.
Vivian Kingma:
the right arm medium fast bowler dismissed both of Pakistan’s openers within five balls in the second ODI to add to the wicket he picked up in the opening game.
PAK Key Players:
Babar Azam:
the skipper is averaging 65.5 in this series and continues to make run-scoring look very easy. After two fifties, he will want to deliver a century in this game.
Naseem Shah:
the youthful right arm pace bowler has taken five wickets in this series, his first two ODI appearances. He dismissed two of the top three on Thursday and was often too quick for the other batters.
Haris Rauf:
with Shaheen Shah Afridi out injured, Rauf has taken the mantle of the bowling leader in the series. He bowled with much more control and still took the wickets in Thursday’s game.
Team Form:
NED Team Form:
After pushing Pakistan close in Tuesday’s series opener, Netherlands failed to ever really be in with a chance of winning the second game. However, they are not overawed or playing bad cricket.
PAK Team Form:
Pakistan continue to impress in this format and have now strung together seven successive ODI victories.

Netherlands:
Vikramjit Singh, Max ODowd, Tom Cooper, Bas de Leede, Scott Edwards(w/c), Teja Nidamanuru, Logan van Beek, Tim Pringle, Aryan Dutt, Wesley Barresi, Vivian Kingma, Musa Ahmed, Ryan Klein, Shariz Ahmad, Arnav Jain.
