TEAMS PREVIEW

Australia Preview

Pat Cummins’ side won the third game in the three-match ODI series against India to avoid a whitewash. The bowling attack had its problems in the series and the Australian skipper would like to fix those issues. The Netherlands won’t offer them much of a challenge, but Cummins would like key players in the side to do well and build confidence ahead of the tournament.  

Everyone in the top order has made runs in recent games and the side will like David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, and Travis Head to do well and build confidence. The middle and lower middle order hasn’t been in the best shape and the team management will be interested in the performances of Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, and Marcus Stoinis in this game.  

The bowling attack has been at the receiving end in the last few games, first against the South Africans and then against the Indians. Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood must sharpen their lines in this game. Adam Zampa will be the bowler to watch out for as he along with Maxwell and Ashton Agar will enjoy the conditions in these spinner-friendly tracks.

Australia Predicted Playing XI:

Pat Cummins (c), Steve Smith, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Starc

Australia Actual Playing XI:

Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, Pat Cummins, David Warner, Steven Smith, Josh Inglis, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Glenn Maxwell, Marnus Labuschagne, Matthew Short

Netherlands Preview

Scott Edwards couldn’t have asked for a better warmup game. They take on the five-time champions and it will be a great opportunity for them to prepare for the tournament. The side has players who can take on the best in the world on their day.  A good show here will add confidence to the team.  

Max O'Dowd, Vikramjit Singh, Teja Nidamanur and Scott Edwards played important roles with the bat in the ICC Qualifiers in Zimbabwe, and they will look to make a positive impact here to prepare for the World Cup. The side will also look at players like Colin Ackermann and Bas de Leede to perform with the bat and give the Australians a run for their money.  

On the bowling front, the side will need good performances from Logan van Beek, Shariz Ahmad, and Bas de Leede as they are the mainstay of this bowling attack. Ryan Klein, Aryan Dutt and Saqib Zulfiqar will also like to get acquainted with the conditions in India before the start of the tournament. 

Netherlands Predicted Playing XI:

Scott Edwards (c & wk), Max O'Dowd, Bas de Leede, Vikram Singh, Teja Nidamanuru, Paul van Meekeren, Colin Ackermann, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Ryan Klein, Wesley Barresi, Saqib Zulfiqar, Shariz Ahmad, Sybrand Engelbrecht

Netherlands Actual Playing XI:

Vikramjit Singh, SA Engelbrecht, Saqib Zulfiqar, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Shariz Ahmad, Max O'Dowd, RE Van Der Merwe, Scott Edwards, Wesley Barresi, Ryan Klein, Aryan Dutt, Paul Van Meekeren, Logan van Beek

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We will have slight cloud cover over Thiruvananthapuram. There will be some assistance for the bowlers in the early overs. This wicket is known to be friendly for the batters and the side batting first would aim to put 320 runs on the board.  

AUS vs NED Pitch Report

Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram is a good batting surface where the ball comes to the bat nicely. There isn’t much on this wicket for the fast bowlers and they must use their variations. Spinners find assistance from the surface and have done well in previous games.

Toss: To Bat

In India, most games are won by sides that bat first. The wicket will be best to bat on in the afternoon, and bowlers will enjoy bowling under the lights.  Hence the side winning the toss, won’t hesitate to bat first
