The Netherlands batters played exceptionally well and got to a mammoth total of 217 runs. Edwards played a captain's inning and scored 81 runs at a healthy strike rate of 200. Michael Levitt set the tone for this total early in the innings when he played aggressively in the powerplay and gave the Netherlands a great start. Their lower order did not quite finish the game on a high note.
In response, the USA top order collapsed inside the powerplay. Currently, they are 81/4 in 9.1 overs. The USA teams need another 137 runs in almost 11 overs to win this match, and it seems impossible at this stage. I think the Netherlands will win this match comfortably.
The Netherlands players are in great form at the moment. Netherlands has continued the winning streak in the last 5 matches. Netherlands will win today's match for sure. The team is able to win consistently because of the great performance of the batsmen in particular. Also the bowlers are performing decently in every match.
In today's match, Netherlands players scored a huge total of 217, losing only 5 wickets. Every batsman in the top order batted aggressively. The two openers' strikes were 200+ on the night. Michael Levitt scored 69 runs off just 34 balls. Max O'Dowd was dismissed for 28 off 13 balls. Besides, captain Scott Edwards was unbeaten with 81 runs from 40 balls. Basically, the team was able to provide a huge target of 218 runs due to the aggressive batting of these three batsmen.
While Team USA can perform well at times, it is unlikely that they will win against the Netherlands with a target of 218 runs. And the team collected 91 runs in 11.1 overs. Although the run rate is good enough, USA has already lost 6 wickets. The USA team will be defeated by a big margin in this match.
