Oman produced a solid display in the first tri-nation game and convincingly hammered UAE by six wickets with 38 balls left over. The management might likely look forward to similar outings in the later games but most especially for the bowlers who were more influential and useful in this win. Samay Shrivastav bowled the pick of the lot with 4/25, and every one of the bowling unit delivered at least a wicket. The bowling unit, who were led by Jatinder Singh, will have to bank on their effort for another game.
Oman were expected to chase easily with 129 runs chasing but this was just a minor blip. Oman three wickets in successive over after great start after the cautious batting crossed line. Aggressive batting, from Jatinder Singh and Hammad Mirza will most probably play Oman next game.
Oman Predicted Playing XI
Jatinder Singh (c), Ashish Odedara, Karan Sonavale, Aamir Kaleem, Hammad Mirza (wk), Mohammad Nadeem, Sandeep Goud, Shakeel Ahmed, Samay Shrivastav, Jay Odedra, Muzahir Raza
Netherlands form
Netherlands would have been disappointed not to reach their target of 241 against UAE on Sunday, but they do have a group of experienced international players who are expected to hold some serious discussion on how to improve things in the next game. Although the conditions might be nothing like what they are accustomed to, in the recent past, they have played pitches just like this, and so would not raise it as an excuse. Of the two seasoned players of the Netherlands, Scott Edwards can provide stability to the innings as well as Bas de Leede who can either offer quick runs as the demand of the match would say. Roelof van der Merwe will offer the spin options, and Paul van Meekeren is likely to be a threat with the ball as a pacer.
Netherlands Playing XI
Vikramjit Singh, Max O'Dowd, Noah Croes, Scott Edwards (c) (wk), Bas de Leede, Shariz Ahmad, Roelof van der Merwe, Timm van der Gugten, Aryan Dutt, Michael Levitt, Paul van Meekeren
Oman vs Netherlands Expert Tips & Prediction
They may be playing at home ground, where they were easily victorious over UAE some time ago. We consider Netherlands a winning team here, especially considering that they have relatively better players both in and out of their two innings than Oman possesses. We foresee them gaining an upper hand on the result for both their innings than Oman. And so we expect Netherlands to win for us!
