Pitch Report
A high-scoring game beckons at Cartama Oval with little to no help on offer for the bowlers. The pacers should get the ball to swing around early on, but the batters will look to target the straight boundaries. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams looking to bat first upon winning the toss. 100-110 should be a good total at the venue, with the pitch not likely to change much during the game.
Today’s POR vs NED XI Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper
Francoise Stoman: Francoise Stoman has shown glimpses of what he is capable of doing with the bat in hand. He is quite capable behind the stumps as well, making him a good option for this game.
Batsman
Musa Ahmad: Musa Ahmad batted lower down the order in the Netherlands' win over Hungary, but he is expected to return to the top order today. Given his form in the European Cricket Championship, one can bank on him delivering some quick runs for the Netherlands.
All-rounder
Clayton Floyd: Like Musa Ahmad, Floyd also batted out of position in the previous game and is expected to return to the top of the order today. Adding his useful spin in the middle overs only sweetens the deal as he stands out as a must-have player in your POR vs NED-XI Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Junaid Khan: Junaid Khan has been Portugal's best bowler, picking up over eight wickets in the tournament so far. Junaid is also a decent bet with the bat and is surely one to watch out for in this game.
