AUS vs NED, 24th Match - Toss Factor

The venue is suited for the spinners with the surface expected to get slower as the game progresses. The average first innings score in the last ten ODIs has been 258.

Scenario: If Australia Fields First

The Australian pacers Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood will look to bowl the Dutch out early. The trio is key in bundling the Netherlands out for a low score. In-form openers David Warner and Mitchell Marsh would hope to finish off the chase quicky to improve the net run rate.

Scenario: If Netherlands Fields First

Bas de Leede has picked up the most wickets (seven) so far for his side in this WC. Spinner Aryan Dutt is also an important bowler in this Dutch line-up. These two along with skipper Edwards, who has amassed the second-most runs so far, will be vital if their side is chasing a competitive target.

Scenario: If Netherlands Fields First

Bas de Leede (NED)

All-rounder Bas de Leede has struck close to 100 runs with one half-century to his name. He is the leading wicket-taker for his team so far and will look to provide his all-round performance against a strong Aussie unit.

Scott Edwards (NED)

Captain Scott Edwards played a match-winning knock against South Africa in Dharamsala. The right-handed middle-order player smashed an unbeaten 78 off 69 with ten fours and a mix to take his side to a challenging total of 245/8 in 43 overs. He won the Player of the Match award as the Dutch defeated the Proteas. Netherlands will again will looking at their leader if they have to cause another upset against another big opposition.


Scenario: If Australia Fields First

David Warner (AUS)

David Warner is the leading run-scorer for the Aussies in this WC. The southpaw slammed a scintillating 163 off 124 which included 14 fours and nine maximums against Pakistan in the last game. The explosive left-hander will be key for the Aussies in their pursuit of improving net run-rate if they are chasing a low target. 

Mitchell Marsh (AUS)

Warner's opening partner Mitchell Marsh also struck a hundred (121) against Pakistan. The right-hander is averaging 45.00 with one century and one half-century in this campaign. The aggressive batter is a worthy pick against the Dutch.


AUS vs NED, 24th Match - Big Risk, Big Return Choices

Steven Smith (AUS)

Australia's most reliable and consistent player Steven Smith hasn't yet performed to his potential so far. The no. three batter has mustered only 72 runs with the highest score of 46. The right-hander is due for a big knock and it may come in this fixture.

Vikramjit Singh (NED)

Left-handed opener Vikramjit Singh hit a half-century (52) against Pakistan in Netherlands's opening game. Since then, the 20-year old has scores of 12, 2 and 4 to his name. He may return to his best against the Australians in Delhi.
