ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019: Netherlands vs Bermuda – Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Team and Weather Conditions

Match 36 pits Netherlands and Bermuda against one another with both teams finding themselves near opposite ends of the table. While the Dutch are on track for a knockout berth, it hasn’t gone according to plan for Bermuda, who is yet to win a game in the tournament so far. With three wins in four games, Netherlands come into this game on the back off a shock loss to PNG and would be looking to bounce back into winnings ways on Saturday. Although they are considered as the underdogs, Bermuda has a decent roster capable of troubling the Netherlands at the Dubai International Stadium.

Injuries: No injuries are reported from either side

Probable Playing XI

Netherlands:

Netherlands should persist with the same set of players for this game in spite of a loss to PNG on Thursday. The form of Tobias Visee and Ryan ten Doeschate is a cause for concern although Max ODowd and Ben Cooper have done well to lead the Netherlands to three wins so far. Their bowling department is the stronger suit with Paul van Meekeren and Roelof van der Merwe consistently picking wickets upfront. With a good balance between bat and ball in their ranks, Netherlands should make light work of their opponents on Saturday.

Tobias Visee, Max ODowd, Ben Cooper, Ryan ten Doeschate, Colin Ackermann, Pieter Seelar, Roelof van der Merwe, Scott Edwards, Paul van Meekeren, Timm van der Gugten and Brandon Glover

Bermuda:

Bermuda might rotate it’s squad with only pride to play for in their remaining games. One Bermudian to look out for is Delray Rawlins, who did show some signs of form with a quick-fire cameo. Kamau Leverock and Terryn Fray have also shown glimpses of what they are capable of as well. Deunte Darrell should come into the side at the expense of Allan Douglas while the likes of Malachi Jones and Derrick Brangman are also possible options heading into this game.

Dion Stovell, Oronde Bascome, Terryn Fray, Delray Rawlins, Deunte Darrell, Onais Bascome, Kamau Leverock, Okera Bascome, Rodney Trott, Sinclair Smith and George O Brien

Top Picks:

Considering the strength of the Bermudian bowling unit, the top four of Netherlands are picked with Colin Ackermann and Max ODowd already in decent form with the bat. Along with them, the duo of Roelof van der Merwe and Delray Rawlins is also a bankable option. While Rawlins has shown glimpses of what he is capable of, Roelof van der Merwe has picked seven wickets to strengthen his case for this game. Kamau Leverock is another must-have player in the side for his all-round abilities while Rodney Trott and Paul van Meekeren should pick a wicket or two at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.

1. Max ODowd
2. Roelof van der Merwe
