Netherlands vs Zimbabwe – Previews and Betting Tips
Fourth-placed Zimbabwe have a good NRR, and a win here could help them a lot. As for the Netherlands, they are yet to open their account and are placed at the bottom of the table. They faced Pakistan in their previous encounter and it couldn’t have been more disappointing than this.
Batting first, the dutch put up a poor batting display as they could only manage to put up 91/9. In a rather disappointing performance, Colin Ackermann was the only positive with his run-a-ball 27. However, the scare of the first innings for the dutch was the delivery by Haris Rauf that knocked out Bas de Leede. Although, he battled his fears and walked back inside to get treated. Defending 92, there was not much hope for the Netherlands. Mohammad Rizwan’s gritty 39-ball 49 helped Pakistan win the match by 6 wickets and 37 balls to spare. However, Brandon Glover did turn a few heads with his brilliant 2/22.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe went on to face yet another thrilling encounter, this time against Bangladesh. Being asked to bowl first, the Zimbabwe pacers did well to restrict Bangladesh to 150/7. Blessing Muzarabani bagged 2/13 while Richard Ngarava picked up 2/24. Chasing 151 took a lot out of the batsmen but Sean Williams seemed to be handling it quite nicely. He scored a brilliant 42-ball 64 but couldn’t get his side over the line. The Bangladesh quicks restricted Zimbabwe 147/8 in a final-over thriller.
Although, in the past four encounters that the two teams have had, Zimbabwe has won on three occasions. They also have been performing brilliantly so far, making them favourites to win the match. In an exhilarating contest such as this, we recommend you choose three-way betting and in-game betting. This option offers the best returns on investment, courtesy of the exceptional match odds.
