Netherlands vs West Indies Prediction: West Indies to Win

With ICC World Cup qualification on the table, there’s much to play for in the ongoing series against the Netherlands. Both teams are at the verge of playing the qualification round as the World Cup fixtures appear. In the previous game, Shai Hope and Brandon King saved the day for West Indies. Going in the second tour game, West Indies will be the favorites to win. 

West Indies have many positives to take and move forward from the first game. It’s true that West Indies are experimenting with their lineup ahead of the ODI series against Pakistan. Shai Hope and Brandon King were simply outstanding with the bat, but the initial groundwork and development were made by Akeal Hosein, who bowled 9 overs, 2 for 29. Alzarri Joseph was also spot on with his pace and bounce. Sharmarh Brooks will look to continue his sensible gameplay in the upcoming ODI.

• Shai Hope
• Brandon King
• Sharmarh Brooks
• Akeal Hossein
• Nicholas Pooran

Batsman did their job, and it was to the bowlers how they tackled West Indian batters. After getting Nicholas Pooran out cheaply, the Netherlands gave away their momentum and could not exert pressure on the West Indian middle order. In the second ODI, all will depend on Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, and Bas de Lee, as they are Netherland’s strike bowlers. 

• Vikramjit Singh
• Teja Nidamanuru
• Max O’ Dowd
• Aryan Dutt
• Logan van Beek

It’s quite evident that West Indies has a formidable lineup in comparison to the Netherlands. We could expect a high-scoring game if West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first. For the Netherlands, it will be a tough outing. 

• West Indies to Win for 1.14
• Nicholas Pooran Will Score (50) Runs - Yes for 2.26
• West Indies Back All 110 for 1.15
