Match Details:

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

A star-studded Netherlands side plays it’s second game in two days against Namibia in Dubai. With the inclusion of Ryan ten Doeschate in the playing XI, the Netherlands will ideally be considered the favourites for this game. Although Namibia, who is slowly making its name in the international circle, also possesses a couple of very talented individuals. The Netherlands boasts of a resourceful and well-balanced side comprising of two spin bowling all-rounders in Roelof van Merwe and captain, Pieter Seelaar.

Netherlands’ first match saw Max ODowd star with the bat against a hapless Kenya side. Brandon Glover is one to watch out for with the Dutchman picking five wickets in the recently concluded Oman T20I. In spite of their more established opponents, Namibia would take confidence from Singapore’s opening game shock against Scotland. With the likes of Gerhard Erasmus and big hitting JP Kotze, who scored a hundred against Botswana earlier in the year, Namibia should give a tough fight against the Netherlands on Saturday.
