Netherlands vs Pakistan 2nd ODI Match Prediction
Match: NED vs PAK ODI Match Prediction
Time: 18 Aug, 02:30 PM (IST)
Series: 2nd ODI Match
Venue: Hazelaarweg – Rotterdam, Netherlands
Info:
Scott Edwards has hit the highest score for Netherlands in their last four ODIs and five of their last six in this format. We are backing the middle order batter to be Netherlands’ highest run scorer on Thursday. Logan van Beek took two wickets in the series opener and he is our pick for Netherlands’ top wicket taker in this ODI.
Babar Azam made 74 runs from 85 balls on Tuesday and we expect the Pakistan skipper to be their highest run scorer in this clash. With the ball, Naseem Shah took 3-51 in the first ODI and he is our tip for the visitors’ top wicket taker in this match.
We suggest backing Naseem Shah to take over 2.5 wickets in this game. His pace was too hot to handle for some of the Netherlands batters and we expect more of the same.

Mohammed Nawaz was the only spinner to take a wicket on this pitch in the opening ODI. There was good carry in the surface and we expect the pace bowlers to enjoy the wicket again.

Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first in the first game of the series. Both teams like to post a total and it would be a surprise if either side decided to field first after winning the toss ahead of this game.

Team News:
NED Team News:
There were plenty of positives to take in the defeat for the home side in the opening game of the series. Max O’Dowd, Wesley Barresi and Bas de Leede – all players they would expect to make runs – did not make big contributions on Tuesday, but if they can deliver in this match then the result could be different. We anticipate no changes to the XI.
PAK Team News:
After missing the opening ODI, left arm quick Shaheen Shah Afridi is also expected to be absent for this game. He suffered a knee injury on the recent tour of Sri Lanka but the team management are hopeful he could be available for the third ODI. Agha Salman and Naseem Shah made their ODI debuts in the opening match.

We saw five individual scores over fifty on Tuesday with Fakhar Zaman turning his half-century into a three-figure total. We expect this game to also have some high scores and both sides could post totals over 300. We are predicting Pakistan to once again be too good for the Netherlands.
Final Verdict
Pakistan are favorites to beat the Netherlands
NED Key Players:
Vikramkit Singh:
The 19 year old left-handed opener hit his highest score in this format on Tuesday. He will need to score at a quicker rate in this game after scoring 65 runs from 98 balls.
Scott Edwards:
The captain continued his very impressive run of form in ODI cricket with 71 not out from 60 balls in the first game. The 25 year old averages 42.38.
Logan van Beek:
The 31 year old was the most expensive of Netherlands’ bowlers but did pick up the wickets of Babar Azam and Khushdil Shah on Tuesday. He also scored a useful 28 runs from 24 balls at the end of the innings.
PAK Key Players:
Babar Azam:
The right handed batter has now gone beyond 50 three times and 100 four times in his last eight ODI innings. He hit six fours and one six on Tuesday.
Fakhar Zaman:
The experienced opener scored a run a ball 109 in the opening ODI. He now averages 46.41 in this format.
Naseem Shah:
The 19 year old fast bowler became only the third Pakistan player to take 3+ wickets on ODI debut when he dismissed Max O’Dowd, Teja Nidamanuru and Tim Pringle.
Team Form:
NED Team Form:
Netherlands lost by 20 runs to West indies earlier this summer but Tuesday’s defeat was their closest against top drawer opposition.
PAK Team Form:
Pakistan are racking up the wins in ODIs. They have won six games in a row since their last defeat at the end of March.
