Monank Patel and co. have started on a winning note in this tri-series defeating Canada by 14 runs. They were coming into this series with consecutive losses from their previous one-day internationals during the 2023 World Cup Qualifier.
They’ve put those losses behind them and even in the absence of key bowlers, the USA were brilliant with the ball. Hosts Netherlands will be up for a tough challenge. They have a strong middle-order and the skipper will be expecting a much stronger batting performance than the last time.
It may have been due to the slow nature of the pitch that the Netherlands played slow and lost wickets on their way to a small 195-run target against Canada. Paul van Meekeran, Aryan Dutt, and Vivian Kingma will present a tough challenge to the in-form and promising USA batters.
A lot depends on Smit Patel and Monank Patel in the top order for the USA. These two will be crucial wickets the Netherlands would be hunting for.

The Netherlands are coming here on the back of a strong win against Canada. The pitch may have changed drastically since then. And that should be good news for the hosts as their middle-order would have a chance to make a comeback.
Max ODowd and Michael Levitt can step on the accelerator at the top and deliver a quick partnership to get the home team off to a flier. ODowd scored a fifty in the run-chase against Canada.
Vikramjit Singh and Wesley Barresi are the key middle-order players in this side who’ve made a huge impact in previous games for the Netherlands. Singh is one of the key match-winners in the lineup.
While there is skipper Scott Edwards at 5 followed by another wicket-keeper batsman Noah Cross, we reckon the scoring responsibilities lie with the top 4.
Edwards may score a few runs but isn’t expected to deliver a match-winning knock. There is no depth in this batting lineup and that would mean the bowlers will have to work a lot harder to create chances for the hosts.
Vivian Kingma and Paul van Meekeran are the two key wicket-takers to watch out for. The young Kyle Klien also stunned everyone with his figures of 4 for 33 in the last match.

Monank Patel led from the front with a captain’s knock at number 3 as he stayed unbeaten on 121 taking the team total to 304. Patel hit 5 sixes in his innings on his way to becoming the top team batsman for the USA.
After the 75-run opening stand between Smit Patel and Steven Taylor, the skipper ensured the momentum continued with a 58-run stand for the 2nd wicket. After losing Aaron Jones and Milind Kumar cheaply in the middle order USA found hope in Shayan Jahangir at number 6.
His unbeaten 57 off 47 balls contributed to the highest partnership of the innings with the skipper. The two contributed 143 runs for the 5th wicket. This is a great start for the USA on the batting front.
Some quality partnerships and promising individual performances have set the stage for further expectations. Steven Taylor and Aaron Jones need to find their rhythm quickly as they will be tasked with scoring responsibility in case Smit and Monank don’t fire at the top.
In the bowling attack, Nosthush Kenjige and Jasdeep Singh will be the ones to watch out for. They were impressive with their strike rates even on a surface that was ing the batters.
And while Shadley van Schalkwyk was expensive in his spell, he delivered crucial breakthroughs dismissing two well-set batters who had each scored a fifty and built a 125-run partnership for the 8th wicket.

The weather will be mostly cloudy in Voorburg with a high of 23 degrees Celsius on the match day. No rain is predicted during the day and we shall have an uninterrupted one-day international at the Sportpark Duivesteijn.
No team had crossed the 200-run mark until the USA played Canada in the last game. Monank Patel’s hundred led the USA to 304 while batting first. The pitch looks promising and should offer plenty of runs in both innings. The hosts will be eager to bat first and allow their key players to find their rhythm.
The pitch seemed very different in the last game compared to the previous two matches played here. Batting returns have improved on this ground as teams scored 270+ in both innings. If the pitch continues to be like this, batting first will be a great choice for both teams.
USA looks very strong coming into this match and promise some exciting cricket against the hosts. The hosts, on the other hand, will have the home advantage on their side. Both teams have a few reliable batters at the top and a varied bowling attack with in-form players. It looks like a neck-and-neck competition between the two but the Netherlands will start with a slight edge in our match prediction.
