England To Win

In ODIs, England and Netherlands have played each other six times. Three in World Cups (1996, 2003 and 2011) and three times on England’s tour of the country in 2022. England have won all six, with an average winning margin of 141 runs and 6.5 wickets. England should Win… surely?

Adil Rashid To Be England’s Top Wicket Taker

Netherlands’ entire batting line-up was right-handed in their last match against Afghanistan which will be music to the ears of Adil Rashid. He has dismissed 142 right-handers in ODI cricket, the most of anyone in the England squad, and will benefit from the average turn of 1.8 degrees seen so far at Pune.

Additionally, this Netherlands team have a collective average of only 28.48 against right-arm spin (this falls to 20.06 when playing in Asia). I fancy Rashid to be England’s top wicket-taker.

Jos Buttler To Be England’s Top Run Scorer

England probably didn’t learn a lot at the time from their tour of the Netherlands in 2022, but the confidence gained will be invaluable as England look to finish their miserable tournament on a high. Jos Buttler wasn’t dismissed in his two innings, scoring 248 runs at a strike-rate of 185, and over half of those runs (133) came when facing bowlers in this current squad. We’re backing Jos Buttler To Be England’s Top Run Scorer.

Scott Edwards To Be Netherlands’ Top Run Scorer

Scott Edwards has led his side admirably. The Netherlands top order batters (1-3) have struggled so far, averaging just 20, the lowest at the tournament, and scoring only two 50+ scores, so it has been up to the middle order, led by Edwards, to dig them out of trouble.

Edwards is averaging 40.80 and has scored two 50s with his most memorable innings being his 78 not out in the victory against South Africa, dragging his side to a competitive total. He’s led by example, so Edwards is a good shout To Be Netherlands’ Top Run Scorer.

England To Have The Higher Score After 15 Overs

England have averaged 73.43 runs in the opening 15 overs of their matches so far at the tournament with Netherlands nearly 10 runs below (63.57). Both have lost 21 wickets in this phase of their innings but based on history, and Netherlands’ top order struggles, England should have the better start. We’ll round off with England To Have The Higher Score After 15 Overs.
