Netherlands Women vs Papua New Guinea Women, NOT, Today Match Prediction 09 August 2024

NEDW vs PNG-W Match Prediction & Analysis

Netherlands Women are aiming for a third consecutive victory and possibly victory in the ODI series after having made a very strong start with back-to-back victories. They go up against a Papua New Guinea outfit who come as underdogs into the game. After having suffered a heavy loss in their only game of the series, it is not a great situation for Brenda Tau and her team. 

Netherlands Women have largely been away from one-day format for the last 12 months but they have made a very strong start. PNG Women have had a string of losses in recent months including the recent tour of Zimbabwe. There is a lot of pride at stake for PNG Women coming into the game. A victory will put PNG Women in a great spot going into the match with Scotland on August 11.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Netherlands Women Preview

Netherlands were able to secure a comfortable victory against Scotland Women to put themselves in a very good position going into their penultimate ODI match in the series. Even though the team were chasing a relatively comfortable target against Scotland, a collapse of the middle order produced a panic by the 18th over, as the team were 5/81. The loss of five wickets in the space of 30 odd runs is a wake-up call, but the lower order proved more than effective for Netherlands.

Robine Rijke is the top scorer for the team with 64 runs from her two innings, but the focus will be on bowlers for this game.

Iris Zwilling put up a starring display with four wickets while conceding only 31 runs. Even though the wicket will aid bowlers, it will be particularly suitable for pacers. One can expect Iris Zwilling to have a big impact once again, while Hannah Landheer will also be looking to come amidst wickets. In the last meeting with PNG Women, Hannah Landheer ended up with numbers of 3/26.

Netherlands Women Predicted Playing XI:

Babette de Leede (c), Phebe Molkenboer, Annemijn van Beuge, Robine Rijke, Iris Zwilling, Annemijn Thomson, Frederique Overdijk, Caroline de Lange, Eva Lynch, Hannah Landheer, Silver Siegers

Netherlands Women Actual Playing XI:

Carlijn Van Koolwijk, Phebe Molkenboer, Iris Zwilling, Eva Lynch, Robine Rijke, Babette De Leede, Annemijn Van Beuge, Caroline de Lange, Frederique Overdijk, Hannah Landheer, Silver Siegers

Papua New Guinea Women Preview

PNG Women are searching for their first victory in any ODI match since April when they beat USA Women in the tri-series. After starting the campaign with losses against Netherlands and Scotland, the focus for PNG Women will be pride. So far in the series, the batting has been a big letdown for PNG Women. After a complete collapse against Netherlands in the first match, there was some positivity from PNG Women – especially with the top order.

Pauke Siaka almost came up with a half-century, as she hit 44 from 49 balls. The other noteworthy contributions came from opener Naoani Vare, who were able to tide over some tricky early overs with 30 from 57 balls.

Vicky Buruka, Geua Tom, and Isabel Toua will be the players to watch out for in the bowling department. All the pacers had a decent outing against Netherlands in the first match. Due to the pitch being ive of pacers, they are expected to perform even better. Buruka is the top wicket-taker in the PNG Women squad so far in the series with three wickets from her two innings at an average of 20 and an economy of 5.00.

Papua New Guinea Women Predicted Playing XI:

Naoani Vare, Brenda Tau (c), Tanya Ruma, Sibona Jimmy, Pauke Siaka, Kevau Frank, Vicky Araa, Henao Thomas, Isabel Toua, Geua Tom, Vicky Buruka

Papua New Guinea Women Actual Playing XI:

Brenda Tau, Kevau Frank, Tanya Ruma, Naoani Vare, Sibona Lucy Jimmy, Henao Thomas, Dika Lohia, Lakshmi Rajadurai, Vicky Araa, Isabel Toua, Geua Tom
