ZIM vs NED 3rd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
With everything at stake, Zimbabwe and Netherlands will be raring to lock horns in the 3rd ODI as the winner is set to take the top honors at Harare Sports Club on Saturday. While both matches have gone down to the wire, there seems to be no reason to believe that the finale could be any different. Before the action-packed game starts, lets take a detailed look at the predicted playing XI, team news, weather report, and much more
Zimbabwe managed to show their composure in the 2nd ODI as they beat the Netherlands by 1 run to equalize the series 1-1. After a strong performance from their batsmen, their marquee players turned the heat with the ball as well to not restrict Netherlands within 270 but even made a resounding comeback at home, in front of their fans.
On the other hand, not many expected the Netherlands to showcase such a dominant display on away soil but their top-order batsmen delivered under pressure. However, if the Dutch side are to win this ODI series, they would require their middle-order batsmen to come to life.

Given that the large outfield creates lesser boundary-scoring opportunities, both captains will be interested in fielding first at this track.
ZIM vs NED, Harare Sports Club Pitch Report
The pitch in Harare is a tough batting surface as its slowness makes it incredibly tough for the batsmen to get any help off the wicket. This is just why fast-bowlers get plenty of unexpected bounce off the surface. Spinners, too, have been successful on this track so far in the series.
Harare Weather Report
The conditions are perfect to have a good match of cricket with humidity peeking around 85% during the match hours whereas the temperature is expected to be around 17 to 23 degrees.
