Netherlands vs Pakistan 2nd ODI Match Prediction

Team Pakistan had to work hard to defeat the Netherlands in the first ODI, but the Men in Green came through when it counted and prevailed by 16 runs. With the help of an outstanding century from Fakhar Zaman, the visitors reached 300 runs in the allocated 50 overs.

Although the Dutch team played respectable batting, they were unable to reach the finish line. In the second ODI match, which will be contested at the Hazelaarweg in Rotterdam on August 18, the home team will be attempting to right its wrongs (Thursday). On the other hand, the visitors will want to win the match and end the series.

Pitch Overview

Slow bowlers, though, could receive some help from the old ball and can potentially influence the outcome of the game. The captain that wins the toss may decide to chase.
