The Netherlands are back home for the next phase of the Cricket World Cup League Two 2023-27. In the first phase, they played Nepal and Namibia in Kirtipur, Nepal where they lost once to each of the two opponents.
Canada, on the other hand, were unbeaten in the tri-series in Dubai beating both UAE and Scotland. They’ve got a strong bowling attack that led them to 4 consecutive wins and most of their key bowlers have looked in great shape in the ongoing GT20 Canada.
The Netherlands have never lost an ODI match to Canada. Netherlands have won 8 of the 9 matches against Canada while the one game ended without a result.
However, the last time these two teams met in a one-day international game was in 2014. The two will be head-to-head after a decade and a lot is at stake here as both teams aim to get ahead in the points table.

The batting was a mess when the Netherlands played in the tri-series in Kritipur Nepal. After they beat Namibia by 7 wickets chasing down a 124-run target, the Netherlands failed to chase 204 runs in the very next game and were bowled out for 179 runs.
Soon after, they ed their second win beating Nepal by 8 wickets as they chased down 173 runs in their last match of the series. This inconsistency will hamper their progress in the Cricket World Cup League Two.
The Netherlands need to bounce back and now that they are playing at home, the skipper will be expecting much better performances from the batters. Max ODowd and Michael Levitt have big roles to play as openers while Vikramjit Singh and Sybrand Engelbrecht are the ones to build partnerships in the middle-order.
The strength of this Dutch batting lineup lies in the middle order. They’ve got all-rounders like Bas de Leede and skipper Scott Edwards to follow in the lower middle order. Both of these players are reliable batters and should be able to find their touch in this tri-series.
Teja Nidamanuru was a rising star who promised plenty but hasn’t delivered much of late. He is another key batter to watch out for in the lower middle order. There is depth in this lineup and that is crucial as the hosts face a tough bowling Canadian attack.
Aryan Dutt, Vivian Kingma, and Bas de Leede are the key wicket-takers in this bowling attack. They’ve been quite reliable for the Netherlands in recent years and will be the key to victory against Canada as well.

Canada are coming to the Netherlands with 4 consecutive wins. However, much like the hosts, Canada too struggled when they played in Nepal losing all of their 3 ODIs against the home team.
Their key bowlers Kaleem Sana, Dillon Heyliger, and skipper Saad Bin Zafar are all in great form and have had plenty of game time in the ongoing GT20 Canada.
They will be crucial for a win here. If they carry their momentum and pick up a few early wickets, they could pose a tough challenge to the hosts. However, it won’t be an easy outing for the visitors.
The Netherlands are known to spring surprises from time to time. They’ve got plenty of depth in the batting lineup along with a solid bowling attack that features many consistent wicket-taking bowlers.
Canada need their key batters to bring their A-game. Aaron Johnson and Srimantha Wijeyeratne are the openers in this batting order. They were quite impressive early in the last tri-series in Dubai but their performances started taking a dip as the series progressed.
Pargat Singh, Navneet Dhaliwal, and Harsh Thaker are the middle-order batters tasked with building partnerships. Thaker delivered some match-winning knocks at number 5 in Dubai which included two consecutive hundreds.
In the lower order, Nicholas Kirton and Shreyas Movva are handy with the bat and can deliver quick runs at the death. They could stay around and rotate the strike and build a partnership with a set batsman on the crease.

It will be partly cloudy in Voorburg on the match day and will get sunny as the game progresses. The wicket should get better to bat on as the sun comes out in the second innings and help the chasing team.
From what was seen in the only game played here at the Sportpark Duivesteijn between West Indies Women and Pakistan Women, we can say that the bowlers will find plenty of help from the surface and it may not be a very high-scoring pitch. The team batting first should be looking for something around 260 runs to have the upper hand in the match.
There has been only one match played at this venue and it was a women’s ODI that went in favour of team bowling first. Not much is known about how this pitch is expected to behave and as such bowling first should be the right choice.
This will be a close encounter between two equally-matched teams. While Canada have an in-form bowling attack, the Netherlands are strong at home and have a deep batting lineup. There are many match-winners in both sides and it should be an exciting game of one-day cricket. However, considering their overall team balance and the home advantage, we reckon the Netherlands will have a slight edge going into this match.
