Netherlands vs Scotland 2nd ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
Netherlands face Scotland in the second ODI in Hazelaarweg, Rotterdam on Friday. Due to adverse weather conditions, the first ODI was reduced to 33 overs aside with the hosts coming out on top. Netherlands won by 14 runs with Max O’Dowd starring with the bat to take a 1-0 lead into this final game. Read on as we preview this ODI. The game will get underway at 11:00 local time.
After a long time without an ODI fixture both sides will have been disappointed to see the first ODI reduced to 33 overs aside. However, this may be an even shorter game with the weather forecast not impressive. This should play into Netherlands hands who played in the Tri-Nation T20I Tournament in Nepal last month.
Scotland can take many positives from the first ODI defeat. Gavin Main’s bowling was particularly impressive and if they can dislodge Max O’Dowd early then they will be confident of keeping Netherlands score down to a minimum.

NED vs SCO Toss Prediction
Netherlands won the toss and chose to bat first in the opening game, a formula which worked out well for them. We expect whoever wins the toss to choose to bat first in Rotterdam on Friday.
Pitch Report
Due to the rain which held up the start of the game, the ball didn’t come off the pitch onto the batsmen at a great pace. However, with Thursday’s forecast to be dry, the pitch may have a bit more pace by Friday.
Weather Report
High of 14 with light rain and showers forecast in Rotterdam throughout Friday

Netherlands Team News & Playing 11
NED Team News
18 year old off-spinner Aryan Dutt made his ODI debut in the first game and returned figures of 1-10 from his 2 overs. He also hit a useful 8 not out and will be retained in this game. Max O’Dowd will be hoping for another batsman to keep him company for longer in this match.
NED Key Players
- Max O’Dowd - Brilliant on Wednesday, O’Dowd needs a score of 64 to retain his place at the top of the ODI batting averages. He hit 6 boundaries in his 82 in the first ODI
- Vivian Kingma - Netherland’s standout bowler from the first game with the most wickets and the best economy rate. His figures of 3-21 are his best in international cricket
- Logan Van Beek - Recorded figures of 1-25 from 7 overs on his ODI debut on Wednesday. Only Kingma had better figures for Netherlands and Van Beek will be raring to go again at international level
NED Team Form
Wednesday’s win means that Netherlands have now won their last three ODIs. Although there were signs of rustiness and they will want more batsmen to show up, winning is a valuable habit.
Netherlands Predicted Playing 11
Max O’Dowd, Stephan Myburgh, Ben Cooper, Bas de Leede, Pieter Seelaar (c) , Scott Edwards (wk), Paul van Meekeren, Vivian Kingma, Saqib Zulfiqar, Aryan Dutt, Logan van Beek
Scotland Team News & Playing 11
SCO Team News
Kyle Coetzer’s side were not far from winning the first ODI and, after such a long break in the format, should take confidence from that. Hamza Tahir and Safyaan Sharif were expensive with the ball but we expect them both to retain their places in the XI
SCO Key Players
- Kyle Coetzer - The captain will be disappointed with his 16-ball 9 although he did hit 1 six. Scotland need him to set the platform at the top of the innings.
- Richard Berrington - Top scored for Scotland in Wednesday’s game in an innings which included 3 sixes. Apart from Gavin Main’s cameo at the end, Berrington also had the highest strike-rate for his side.
- Safyaan Sharif - Scotland’s leading wicket taker was unusually expensive with his 6 overs costing 41 runs and only picking up the wicket of opener Stephan Myburgh. Expect to see a response from Sharif in this game.
SCO Team Form
There is nothing like a run of games to get your form up. Perhaps if Scotland had played more matches in recent weeks they could have got over the line in this game. They will be better prepared after Wednesday’s fixture.
Scotland Predicted Playing 11
Kyle Coetzer (c) , Matthew Cross (wk), Calum Macleod, Richard Berrington, George Munsey, Dylan Budge, Mark Watt, Safyaan Sharif, Gavin Main, Hamza Tahir, Ali Evans

🏆 Netherlands vs Scotland Prediction
It would be great to see a full 50-over aside ODI in this game but again it looks likely that the weather will reduce it to a shorter shoot-out. Scotland will again be competitive and should put in a stronger performance now they have a game under their belt. However we are predicting another Netherlands win in another tight game.
