The Netherlands are a very promising team with some serious talents like Bas de Leede and Logan van Beek. Captain Scott Edwards's side has the highest runs scored in an ODI super over... if that matters. Logan van Beek recently made that record by hitting 30 runs in an over bowled by West Indies' Jason Holder during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 qualifiers. The Netherlands have not played a single ODI since the final of the CWC qualifiers. Still, they boast players who have World Cup experience. (Full Coverage | Schedule | Cricket News)
Vikramjit Singh and Max O'Dowd provide a powerful start to the innings followed by captain Edwards and Bas de Leede. Leede was the player of the match in the ICC World Cup qualifiers which ensured the Netherlands' attendance in this global event. In that match, Netherlands needed 278 runs in 44 overs to qualify and Leede scored 123 runs and also picked up a fifer. Veteran Roelof van der Merwe and youngster Colin Ackermann's inclusion in the squad at the last minute are also positives to look at for the Netherlands.
