Netherlands vs Canada, ICCWCWARMUP, Today Match Prediction 31 May 2024

NED vs CAN Match Prediction & Analysis

The Netherlands will lock horns with Canada in their next warm-up game. The Dutch were on the backfoot coming into this tournament with some poor performances in the tri-series against Ireland and Scotland.

However, the recent win over Sri Lanka must have boosted their confidence going ahead. Canada looks in fine touch with a strong bowling attack that delivered them a huge win against Nepal.

This is the right opportunity for both teams to test their squad strengths ahead of the mega event. Teja Nidamanuru looked in great touch at number 4 and will be one to watch out for in the Netherlands lineup.

And though Ravinderpal Singh’s 41 off 17 changed the course of the match for Canada, all eyes will be on Navneeth Dhaliwal and Aaron Johnson at the top.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Netherlands Preview

Netherlands have a strong overall squad with quality batting and experienced all-rounders that add depth to the batting lineup and variety to the bowling attack.

However, their recent performances were quite concerning as they suffered some humiliating losses in the tri-series at home. Another win here will alley the ghosts of that series and the Dutch can step into the T20 World Cup anew.

They faced a strong Sri Lankan bowling attack. Max O'Dowd scored 20 off 9 delivered opening the innings for Netherlands against some of the top T20 bowlers. 

Teja Nidamanuru scored 48 off 24 deliveries at number 4 while skipper Scott Edwards added the finishing touches at number 8 with an unbeaten 21 off 13 balls. 

All this against the likes of Dilshan Madhushanka, Nuwan Thushara, and Dhananjaya de Silva is commendable. They will once again face a strong and in-form bowling attack as they take on Canada at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas.

Bas de Leede and Logan van Beek couldn’t make much of an impact with the bat in the last game and will be expected to bounce back here. In the bowling attack, apart from the senior players, there is Aryan Dutt along with Saqib Zulfiqar who can deliver the breakthroughs.

Netherlands Predicted Playing XI:

Michael Levitt, Max ODowd, Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Logan van Beek, Scott Edwards (c&wk), Wesley Barresi, Saqib Zulfikaar, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeran, Tim Pringle

Netherlands Actual Playing XI:

Max O'Dowd, Teja Nidamanuru, Paul Van Meekeren, Wesley Barresi, Michael Levitt, Scott Edwards, Vikramjit Singh, Bas de Leede, Logan van Beek, Tim Pringle, SA Engelbrecht, Aryan Dutt, Vivian Kingma, Kyle Klein, Saqib Zulfiqar

Canada Preview

Canada were up against Nepal, a side that has looked very promising in recent years, in their first warm-up match. And the Saad Bin Zafar-led team surprised one and all as they completely outplayed Nepal.

There were some good partnerships in the Canadian innings as they posted 183 runs batting first. It was a really good score but Nepal, given their batting strength were expected to do better.

Nepal also has a strong bowling attack that makes Canada’s 183-run total look great. Canada should be confident going ahead after that win. Not only did they overpower Nepal’s bowlers but were exceptional with the ball as they bowled out Nepal for just 120 runs.

Saad Bin Zafar, Jeremy Gordon, and Pargat Singh were among the big-impact players in this bowling performance. Zafar will be delighted with his team’s bowling effort and now has many in-form bowling options as Canada gear up for the Dutch challenge.

In the batting department, the openers will be expected to find their rhythm and bounce back. Whereas, in the middle order, Nicholas Kirton and Pargat Singh will be the ones to watch out for.

Canada Predicted Playing XI:

Aaron Johnson, Navneet Dhaliwal, Nicholas Kirton, Pargat Singh, R Pathan, Shreyas Movva (wk), Saad Bin Zafar (c), Ravinderpal Singh, Dillon Heyliger, Jeremy Gordon, Kaleem Sana

Canada Actual Playing XI:

Aaron Johnson, Nicholas Kirton, Pargat Singh, Ravinderpal Singh, Junaid Siddiqui, Navneet Dhaliwal, Dilpreet Bajwa, Shreyas Movva, Saad Bin Zafar, Dillon Heyliger, Jeremy Gordon, Rayyan Pathan, Kaleem Sana, Rishiv Joshi, Nikhil Dutta

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There haven’t been any international matches on this ground. But it seems like a balanced wicket going by the recent match played here. There is enough help on offer for batters as well as bowlers. There will be scattered thunderstorms in Dallas on the match day with a high of 27 degrees Celsius.

NED vs CAN Pitch Report

The Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas will be the venue for this warm-up fixture. Canada played their last match here and won by a whopping 63-run margin against Nepal. We reckon a 175+ 1st innings score would be quite competitive considering the bowling strengths of both teams.

Toss: To Bat

The last T20 played here saw the team batting first win convincingly. Both teams were impressive with the bat in their last outing as they posted competitive totals while batting first. They will be looking to bat first in this game as well.
