Pre-Match Analysis:

Zimbabwe was devastated as the result didn’t go their way in the 1st ODI. They can’t afford to drop catches and even misfields cost them a lot and eventually, they lost the match in the end by 3 wickets. They did exceptionally well with the bat to get to the score of 249 after being reduced to 7 for 98 in 20.4 overs. Responsible batting from wicketkeeper batter Clive Madande and much-needed contributions from Wellington Masakadza and Richard Ngarava got them out of the trouble. They let Dutch lower-order batters dominate them in the latter half which resulted in them losing control of the match. They need to regroup and come back stronger to stay alive in the series.

A maiden ODI century from Indian origin Teja Nidamanuru handed Netherlands a famous 3 wickets in the 1st ODI. Chasing 249 runs, they were struggling at 110 for 6 and improbable innings from Nidamanuru helped them to secure a 1-0 lead in the series. Colin Ackermann, Shariz Ahmad, and Paul van Meekeren too played their part with the bat. With this win, their 15 matches losing streak came to an end. Speedsters Fred Klaassen and Paul van Meekeren bowled their heart out and picked up 5 wickets between them. They are vulnerable against the shot deliveries and need to come prepared well for this match.
