The Netherlands stunned Zimbabwe in the first game as they chased down the target of 250 runs on the penultimate delivery.

In the second ODI, the top order was in fine form, and Zimbabwe posted a total of 271 runs while batting first. Sean Williams, who missed the first game, scored 77 runs off 73 deliveries and was the highest scorer for the team. Clive Mandane made a half-century again and added 104 runs for the sixth wicket along with Williams. Shariz Ahmed picked a fifer for the Netherlands and was the pick of the bowlers.
The Netherlands lost their first wicket in the 8th over. After which, Max O’Dowd and Tom Cooper played key roles for the team. The Zimbabwean bowlers struggled against these two as they played shots all over the park. The second breakthrough came for Zimbabwe in the 33rd over as Cooper was run out for 74 runs. This could have opened the floodgates, but O’Dowd and Colin Ackermann ensured that the momentum was not lost. The ultimate shift came in the 44th over bowled by Wessly Madhevere. He became only the third Zimbabwean bowler to pick a hat-trick in ODIs. The magician named Sikandar Raza bowled the 49th over and dismissed the Dutch skipper, Scott Edwards, for 36 runs. The Netherlands required 19 runs from the last over to earn an unassailable lead. Ryan Klein and Fred Klaassen gathered 15 runs off the first five deliveries, and the Netherlands were just one hit away from a famous victory. Klaassen hit a full-toss towards the extra cover, but the batters could gather only two runs, and Zimbabwe won the match on the final delivery by one run. This was only the second time Zimbabwe won an ODI by the smallest margin.

Player Picks
Sikandar Raza ZIM | ALL
The star all-rounder failed to leave an impact with the bat in the last game but compensated with his bowling. He picked three wickets for 39 runs in nine overs, including the pricey scalp of Scott Edwards.
Clive Madande ZIM | WK
The wicketkeeper-batter has been the consistent scorer for Zimbabwe in the two matches so far. He scored 74 runs off 98 deliveries in the first game and registered his maiden half-century. In the second game, he continued from where he left in his last outing. Madande scored 52 runs off 57 deliveries in the second ODI.
Wesley Madhevere ZIM | ALL
The 22-year-old all-rounder scored 43 runs off 50 deliveries with the bat in the last game. With the ball, he picked three wickets for 36 runs in nine overs and became only the third Zimbabwean bowler to pick a hat-trick in ODIs. Madhevere earned his maiden Player of the Match award in ODIs for this performance.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Ryan Burl
ZIM | ALL
The 28-year-old all-rounder is one of the most experienced players in the current squad. He won the Player of the Match award against Australia last year in Zimbabwe’s historic win over the former world champions. However, Burl has not tasted success in his last few outings and can be avoided for this game.
Gary Ballance
ZIM | BAT
The former England batter has played just four ODIs for Zimbabwe, his birth country, and has scored more than 25 runs only once. You can avoid picking him in your fantasy team for this match.
