Australia vs Netherlands Warm up match
After the delaying due to rain now match lived Australia against Netherlands team. I suppose that pitch is not favor to Australia team in today. I am also very surprising to see the performance of Netherlands in bowling lineup very tremendous. At this time, Australia team players like Josh Inglis batsman out by Logan van Beek in 0 runs, Alex Carey out by Roelof van der Merwe after scoring 28 runs and Glenn Maxwell out by Shariz Ahmed only scoring 5 runs. In this match, total 23 overs will be played and Australia team played 12 overs and made 87 runs and total 3 wickets lost. Now current batsman of Australia played in pitch Steve Smith complete his half century and other one is Cameron Green made 5 runs off 8 balls.
With the match starting after rain, the Australian batsmen are currently under a lot of pressure, the Netherlands bowling line is excellent at the moment. Australia's batting today is really bad due to which they have already lost 6 wickets which is a loss for the team. Today's match is in favor of the Netherlands due to which Australia is not able to match Netherlands today and Australia is not showing good batting performance. Maybe it is doubtful whether Australia can play 25 overs today as they are unable to hold on to wickets and their runs are not increasing due to the fall of wickets soon. Today may be the most entertaining match for the Netherlands due to rain, their bowling performance is excellent which makes the game more interesting. At the moment, Australia have scored 138 runs in 19.1 overs and lost 6 wickets, which may not give the Australian team a win in today's match.
The first warm-up match between India vs England was abandoned due to rain but the match between Australia and the Netherlands went on, although the field umpire decided to play 23 overs due to rain.
I have been watching the Netherlands vs Australia match since the beginning and I have liked Netherlands' bowling since the beginning. They have been able to hold back a team like Australia. Where at the moment Australia's runs would have been close to 180 to 200, Australia managed to score only 152 runs for 6 wickets. The 6 batsmen who got out were not out because of any bad ball but because of the great bowling of the Netherlands bowlers.
Australia is very old in cricket and winning is their anthem so I would like Netherlands to win this match as they qualify for ODI World Cup for the first time.
