AUS vs NED: Team Previews

Australia

After a shaky start with two consecutive losses, including a significant loss vs India and a 134-run defeat by South Africa, the Aussies made a roaring comeback with wins over Sri Lanka and Pakistan. The resurgence witnessed centuries from David Warner and Mitchell Marsh against Pakistan, and Zampa stood out with his second consecutive four-wicket haul.

While openers are amongst runs, Steve Smith’s dismal form is a question that Australia needs to answer. The Aussies will hope to carry the winning momentum into the upcoming game and make it three in a row.

Netherlands

On the other hand, the Netherlands' performance in the tournament has been a rollercoaster. They pulled off a memorable victory over South Africa but couldn't sustain the momentum. Batting woes persist, with the top order, especially the openers, failing to lay a solid foundation. 

Nonetheless, the lower order, led by Sybrand Engelbrecht put on a valiant effort against Sri Lanka, propelling the team to 262 runs. Engelbrecht's return to form is indeed a silver lining for the Dutch. Aryan Dutt has been a revelation for the Netherlands with consistent performances in powerplay bowling. However, the middle-overs bowling remains a concern, a factor that played a role in their inability to defend the score against Sri Lanka.

AUS vs NED: Delhi Pitch Report

At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, out of 29 ODIs, teams batting first and those chasing have each won 14 times, with one no result. The average first-innings score is 240. The recent AFG vs ENG match showed that while starting conditions can be tough, batsmen who persist can succeed. The pitch has slowed over time, requiring patient batting. Fast bowlers have had recent success, but historically, spinners play a vital role. Given the pitch's recent behaviour, the captain winning the toss might lean towards batting first.
