Pakistan will be looking for a winning start to the World Cup and they have got an easy draw against the Netherlands. The Men in Green have entered the tournament as one of the favourites. The team will be happy with what they got in the warm-up games, with Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed getting good scores. However, Pakistan will be concerned about their bowling. The team posted scores of 300+ in both warm-up games but failed to win both matches.
Netherlands piped West Indies to qualify for the World Cup and they will be keen on making this opportunity count. They were blown away in the warm-ups but should not be taken lightly as they have the skills to upset the best teams.
Lets take a look at the dream11 team prediction for this match.
The match will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. The pitch will be favourable for batters, however, spinners will pose some challenges during middle overs due to the sluggish nature of the surface.
The temperature will range between 31 and 22 degrees. The good news is that there is no threat of rain and we should have a full game.
Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam (C), Abdullah Shafique, Imam ul Haq, Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), S Afridi, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali
Max O'Dowd, Wesley Barresi, Bas de Leede, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Colin Ackermann, Vikramjit Singh, Roel of van der Merwe, Scott Edwards (C), Logan van Beek, Teja Nidamanuru, Shariz Ahmad
Pakistan will have to take a call on Fakhar Zaman. The batter has been in poor form and Pakistan need to decide if they want him in the playing 11 or not. Fakhar is a match winner thus he should make way for the first few games.
No injuries are reported from any of the camps so far.
Pakistan have a thumping record against Netherlands, winning all six matches. It does not come as a surprise as beating a top team is not so easy for teams like Netherlands who don't play that quality often.

Babar Azam will have to be at his best if Pakistan have to win the World Cup. Babar was in great form in warm-ups and scored 80 and 90 in two matches. Babar Azam wis a great pick for captain
Rizwan will be another key batter of the team. Rizwan started the warm-up with a brilliant century against New Zealand. He along with Babar will hold aces for Pakistan in the World Cup.
With Naseem Shah out, Pakistan's bowling looks weak but in Shaheen Afridi, they have a match-winner who can win a game on his own. Shaheen Afridi is a good selection for the vice-captain.
Along with Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf is another match-winner for Pakistan. The 20 overs from Rauf and Shaheen will decide the fate of Pakistan in the World Cup.
Bas de Leede is a crucial all-rounder for the Netherlands, scoring 765 runs and claiming 24 wickets in ODI matches.
