Hazelaarweg Rotterdam ODI records
Rotterdam, which will be hosting Pakistan for the first time, will be hosting its 13th ODI today. Been part of eight ODIs at this venue, Netherlands have won six and lost two over the years.
It is noteworthy that Hazelaarweg’s only two ODIs in the last 12 years had been played last year. Therefore, most of the individual batting and bowling records here belong to retired cricketers and are irrelevant with respect to this match.
Among players taking part in this series, Max O’Dowd (90), Scott Edwards (60), Wesley Barresi (51) and Logan van Beek (34) have scored some runs in Rotterdam ODIs in the past. As far as the bowlers are concerned, only Vivian Kingma (5) has picked ODI wickets among players participating in this series.
Rotterdam cricket stadium highest innings total in ODIs
| Score | Overs | Team | Opposition | Year |
| 315/8 | 50 | Netherlands | Bermuda | 2007 |
| 237/9 | 50 | Ireland | Afghanistan | 2010 |
| 236/4 | 49.3 | Netherlands | Scotland | 2010 |
| 235/6 | 50 | Scorland | Netherlands | 2010 |
| 219/5 | 46 | Afghanistan | Netherlands | 2010 |
Hazelaarweg, which has mostly been a low-scoring venue, has witnessed teams batting second winning eight out of the 12 ODIs played here. Hence, going by the past record, it shouldn’t be surprising if the captain winning the toss elects to bowl first in this match.
The aforementioned third-highest innings total is also the highest successful run-chase in Rotterdam ODIs.
