#3 Brandon King
Batting in the middle order, Brandon King showed a lot of composure in the first ODI. West Indies lost a few quick wickets but he was calm at the crease. He remained unbeaten on 58 off 51 deliveries to ensure that his side got over the line in the run-chase to win the first ODI. King's knock comprised five boundaries and a couple of sixes, striking at 113.73.
After a good outing in the first game, he is expected to replicate his performance in this game as well. While his career numbers do not justify his talent, this will be an opportunity for him to prove his worth in the batting line-up.
Brandon King will be a key factor for West Indies if they are to seal the 2-0 series. He can be the pillar they need in the middle order.
#2 Logan van Beek
In an otherwise ordinary bowling effort from the Netherlands, Logan van Beek stood out with figures of 2/49 from his eight overs in the first game. He bowled at a decent economy of 6.1.
The 31-year-old pacer has played nine ODIs in his career so far. He has proven to be a wicket-taker with 16 scalps at an average of 22.56, a strike rate of 28.25, and a brilliant economy of 4.79.
The Netherlands will expect van Beek to give the West Indies batters a tough time with the ball in this game. He can prove to be the match-winner that they need.
#1 Shai Hope
Shai Hope has shown promise for West Indies in this format. He has been brilliant at the top of the order. Hope continued his impressive run in the first ODI. His unbeaten 119 off 130 deliveries at the top led West Indies to a win.
Hope’s innings were laced with 12 boundaries and a couple of sixes. Striking at 91.54, he anchored the innings and stayed out there till the very end, finishing the game for his side.
The right-handed wicket-keeper batter has played 90 ODIs for West Indies. He now has 3857 runs to his name at an average of 51.43 with 20 half-centuries followed by 11 centuries. Shai Hope’s contribution will be vital if the visitors are to seal a series win.
