Netherlands vs USA prediction

After being dealt an admittedly difficult first two matches, USA are still without a point to their name following defeats at the hands of India and Pakistan respectively. Both times they have bowled first and both times they’ve not been able to prevent significant acceleration from their opponents despite picking up several wickets. Netherlands meanwhile, backed up a close loss against Pakistan by beating Namibia by seven wickets after chasing down 157 with two overs remaining.

All-rounder Bas de Leede played a crucial role for Netherlands, scoring 72 not out batting at number three to lead his team home. He has consistently been a bright spot when playing for his country with several key knocks in big games. Finally, Netherlands have a played capable of emulating the brilliance of former all-rounder Ryan ten Doeschate.

On what should be another very good batting surface in Chennai, a proven international performer such as de Leede could well be set to cash in again and he feels like the most reliable batter in the Netherlands top order. Therefore, back him to enjoy more success in this match.
