The loss in the last game against Pakistan because of some poor fielding effort must have haunted the Dutch team. Defending 148, the Netherlands came close to winning when Pakistan needed 29 runs in 2 overs. Logan van Beek gave 24 runs in the penultimate over to derail the efforts.
Michael Levitt will open the innings with Max O'Dowd. Levitt scored 24 runs in 15 balls against Pakistan. He has 282 runs in the last 7 T20Is at a strike rate of 145.36. He had scored 135 runs in Netherland’s last game against Namibia with 11 fours and 10 sixes. He will be the batter to watch out for. O'Dowd failed in the first game after scoring just 5 runs. He has 261 runs in the last 9 T20Is at a strike rate of 134.
Bas de Leede will come in at number three after scoring 30 off 25 balls in the last game. He will be followed by Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards, and Zach Lion-Cachet. Ackermann scored 20 off 14 in the last game. Edwards was their leading run-scorer against Pakistan with 37 runs.
Aryan Dutt will lead the bowling attack with Kyle Klein, Paul van Meekeren, Roelof van der Merwe, and Logan van Beek. Both Dutt and Meekeren picked up two wickets each in the last game, while others picked up a wicket each. Klein has 12 wickets in the last 8 T20Is. He can be the bowler to watch out for. Van der Merwe has 4 wickets in 5 games played against Namibia.
