PAK vs NED ODI World Cup 2023 Preview

Since their failed campaign in the Asia Cup 2023, Pakistan have been facing heavy criticism. They hoped to turn the tide during the warm-up matches but Men in Green lost both of them against New Zealand and Australia, respectively. However, on the brighter side, Pakistan are playing their first two matches against the weaker sides and they will look to build some momentum early in the tournament with a couple of wins before they face India in their third game.

On the other hand, Netherlands are arguably the weakest team in the competition. While no one expects them to advance to the last four, they will look to upset a couple of bigger sides. The Men in Orange were brilliant with the ball against Australia but they looked out of sorts while batting. Netherlands will be eager to go out and express themselves and begin their journey with a massive upset win over Pakistan.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report

It is a flat surface and the bowlers would not like to bowl here. The batters could trust the pace and bounce to hit through the line. Furthermore, the outfield is superfast to make things worse for the bowlers. The batting is expected to get even easier during the second innings under the lights.

Last result at the venue

• India (349/8 in 50 overs) defeated New Zealand (337/10 in 49.3 overs) by 12 runs – 18 January 2023
