The second ODI between Pakistan (PAK) and the Netherlands (NED) is set to take place at Hazelaarweg in Rotterdam on Thursday, August 18.
Pakistan took the lead in the series with a fine batting performance against the Dutch earlier in the week. While they were not at their best, Pakistan's experience and batting firepower came through for them. With the likes of Babar Azam and Haris Rauf in decent form, the visitors will start as the favorites. But if the previous game was any indication of things to come, the Netherlands are a decent outfit capable of springing a surprise in this format. With the series potentially on the line, a cracker of a contest beckons in Rotterdam.

NED vs PAK, 2nd ODI
Date and Time: 18th August 2022, 2:30 PM IST
Venue: Hazelaarwarg, Rotterdam
Pitch Report
The pitch at Hazelaarwarg is a good one to bat on despite there being decent help on offer for the pacers, who should pose a threat in the powerplay phase. However, there won't be much turn available in the middle overs, allowing batters to get full value for their shots. Both teams will prefer batting first and putting on a big total, with 270 being a decent total at the venue.

Scott Edwards: Scott Edwards was the standout batter for the Netherlands in the previous game, scoring a fine fifty in the middle order. He has been in decent form over the last few months, scoring big runs against both England and New Zealand. With Edwards being a good player of spin, he should be the one to watch out for in this game.

All-rounder
Bas de Leede: Bas de Leede is an exciting young cricketer who has been on the rise of late. He had a good ICC T20 World Cup Qualifiers campaign earlier in the year and also did well with the ball against Pakistan in the previous game. While his bowling adds balance to the side, De Leede is due for a big performance with the bat, making him a fine option for your NED vs PAK Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Haris Rauf: Haris Rauf, in the absence of star pacer Shaheen Afridi, led the Pakistani attack well, returning with figures of 3/67. He has a decent record in ODI cricket with 26 wickets in 14 matches so far. He can generate extra pace and back it up with subtle variations as well. Given the conditions on offer in Rotterdam, Rauf could be backed to pick up a wicket or two today.
