Match Prediction

Although Italy have put up a brilliant display to make it to the Championship Week of the ECC T10, Netherlands XI will start this game as favorites.

Their batting and bowling have performed well as a unit while Italy have been dependent on a few names to carry them through.

However, Italy could cause an upset by beating the Dutch side if they play to their maximum potential in this ECC match.
