Both the Netherlands and England will come out all guns blazing to get an early lead in the series. Both sides have some exciting players on their side and expect a cracking contest to start the series.
Will the Netherlands (NED) beat England (ENG)?
The Dutch side have got players who have plenty of experience at the top level and if they play to their potential, they certainly have a chance to beat this English side.
England will be missing some of their regular players and this is the best possible chance for the Dutch side to create an upset. They will have to bring out their A-game to challenge Morgan’s men in front of their home crowd.
England, despite missing out on some of their key players, look strong on paper as compared to the Netherlands. They have a well-balanced unit and will start as favorites ahead of the series. Most English players are in rich form and will look to carry it forward in the ODI series. It won’t be a surprise if the English side starts the series on a winning note.
Prediction: England (ENG) to win this clash.
