What is the pitch report for WI vs NED, ICC CWC Qualifier 2023, Group A, Match 18?

The surface favors the bowlers in the first half which will make life a tad difficult for the batters. It’s always easier to bat in the afternoon hence bowling first here is a good option.

Pre-Match Analysis:

Fielding lapses and horrible shot selections cost West Indies the game against Zimbabwe and one more loss from here on might hamper their chances of making a cut into the World Cup which is scheduled later this year in India. Men in Maroon had a huge reputation for batting deep however it didn’t come out well as they lost their last 4 wickets for just 16 runs against Zimbabwe and endured their first loss in this tournament. They are a strong all-round side and have the ability to bounce back from the previous upset. With 2 wins and a loss, they have been dropped down to 3rd spot in the Group A standings with 4 points. All eyes will be on Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran who are their top performers and averages 72 and 64 respectively.

Netherlands who got thrashed in the hands of Zimbabwe in their opening game are right back in the tournament with back-to-back wins over USA and Nepal by 5 wickets and 7 wickets respectively. Logan van Beek and Max O’Dowd starred with the bat and ball respectively as they completed an easy 7-wicket win over Nepal with 137 balls still left. They overtook West Indies and moved to the 2nd spot in the Group A standings with 4 points. Both sides have already qualified for the Super 6s and shouldn’t take this game lightly as the points will get carried on.
