Brandon Glover in First ODI
Brandon Glover picked up three wickets in his nine over spell in the second ODI. He conceded just 43 runs, and took the crucial wicket of Afghan skipper, Shahidi.
Afghanistan have a strong batting order, with an explosive opening pair. Their middle order has the likes of Rahmat Shah, Shahidi and Najubullah who could bat the opposition out of the game. Moreover, the likes of Gulbadin Naib and Shahidullah are finishers and all-rounders for the Asian side. Netherlands will demand more from their batting unit, as except, Scott Edwards was the only batsman to score a half century. According to the AFG vs NED today match prediction & Afghanistan vs Netherlands cricket betting tips, Afghanistan are expected to win this game.
