NED vs NAM Dream11 : Netherlands look to register their second win in succession when they take on a tricky Namibia side today
Advertisement
When the schedule for the ICC Men’s T20 World cup Qualifier 2019 was released, one side who would have rejoiced at their opening set of fixtures was Netherlands. The side were bestowed with an extremely favourable set of matches in the opening exchanges, fixtures to allow the side to get off to a thriving start in the marquee tournamnet.
And they justified that discourse with the side making light work of a lacklustre Kenya side yesterday in their first match of the tournamnet. The Group A contest saw them score 166-4 while batting first before restraining Kenya to 136-8, a 30 run win for Netherlands which the side will be looking to resonate come their second match of the group today.
Clashing heads against Namibia today, Netherlands know a display reminiscent of the one they doled out yesterday will see them register another win. However, in Namibia, they have a side who they can’t undermine. Over September, the side put in some tenacious displays, results vindictive of their uprise in the world of cricket to give their ardent and avid supporters just the results they were craving for, catering to their penchant for the game.
In Netherlands, Namibia face a side who are way superior to them but if they can manage to show the stomach of a fight and punch above their weight, this promises to be a closely contested affair and an edge of the seat thriller. Netherlands make an advent as overwhelming favourites but underestimating Namibia and their valour is criminal, a rhetoric we would do well to veer clear off.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
The side winning the toss will be looking to come out and field first on this wicket with the team chasing winning on four out of five encounters here. This is a track which something for everyone with the batters being rewarded for their patience and willingness to bide their time out in the middle while the bowlers who take pace off the ball getting wickets at regular intervals as well.
