ned vs win Match Prediction & Analysis

West Indies and Netherlands face off for the very first time in a bilateral ODI series. West Indies team has been on a steep fall in the past decade and are trying hard to rebuild their team. They have a new skipper in this series who has took the white ball full-time captaincy role for the first time. Netherlands have announced a very young squad for this series with many players missing out due to county commitments. We expect a fresh start from both teams in the process of rebuilding their team for the future.

Amstelveen will have a dark and cloudy weather on the match day with good chances of weather interruptions between the matches.  

Venue Details

VRA Ground pitch has a fair bit of balance between the bat and ball with something in the surface for both of them. Bowlers will need to bowl the hard lengths on this sluggish track and execute their plans to perfection on this pitch. We expect the average scores to be around 260-270 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bowl

Both teams will look to chase down the total at this pitch as they have never played at this venue for a long time and they will be unaware of the pitch conditions.
