Netherlands vs Scotland 1st ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
Netherlands face Scotland in the first ODI in Hazelaarweg, Rotterdam on Wednesday. Both sides have not played a great deal of cricket over the past 18 months. This will be Netherlands first ODI since June 2019 when they beat Zimbabwe by 3 wickets in Deventer. For Scotland it is their first game in this format since December 2019 when they lost to the UAE by 7 wickets in Dubai. Read on as we preview this ODI. The game will get underway at 11:00 local time.
Pieter Seelar’s side come into this game with the higher ODI ranking and more recent cricket under their belt. Although they were well beaten in the final of the Tri-Nation T20I series against Nepal last month, they put in strong performances during the tournament.
Scotland have the historical edge over Netherlands but have not played an international fixture since December 2019. However, it is only ten ODIs ago that they beat England in Edinburgh in June 2018.
