Top Netherlands batter: Max ODowd

Max ODowd has established himself as one of the most experienced players in the Netherlands batting line-up. The batter was being considered the x-factor for the team when they locked horns with Zimbabwe in the first One Day Internationals. However, the fans were met with disappointment as Max ended up with only 20 runs when the team was chasing 250 runs in 50 overs. It did not take long for the opening batter to gain his rhythm and he finally spilled his magic on the 22-yard pitch in the second ODI. Though the visitors lost the match by one run, Max ODowd ruled the headlines owing to his terrific knock of 81 runs off 103 which included six boundaries and two sixes. Meanwhile, the 29-year-old’s international records also make him a perfect contender to place your money on. He has donned the Netherlands jersey in a total of 22 One Day Internationals so far and has managed to collect 756 runs at an average of over 37.00.

Top wicket-taker of the match: Shariz Ahmed

Netherlands’ Shariz Ahmed is topping the wicket-taking charts in the three-match One Day series against Zimbabwe. The young spinner has picked up a total of six wickets after bowling 18 overs at an average of 12 and an impressive economy rate of 4.00. Shariz started the ODI series against Zimbabwe by picking one wicket of Brad Evans in the first One Day International. He maintained an economy rate of 3.6 while conceding only 29 runs in eight overs. Meanwhile, Ahmed’s best international performance came during the second ODI. He ran through the opposition’s batting line-up to pick a whopping five wickets at an economy rate of 4.3. Therefore, the 19-year-old is the favorite to be the top bowler on Saturday as well during the final One Day International.
