The T20 World Cup 2024 has taken center stage in the international cricket. In match number 7 we will witness Netherlands vs Nepal from Group D. The fixture is scheduled on Tuesday at Grand Prairie Stadium, Grand Prairie, Texas.
The Netherlands is coming to play for the fifth time in the elite cricket tournament. In their previous appearance in 2022, the team was eliminated in the Super 12 round.
Nepal is the newest team to become part of the tournament. It will be their second appearance and it is happening after waiting for a decade.
It has been a busy year for the Netherlands as they prepared for the grand stage. However, the team needs to be on the path of consistency when it comes to winning the matches. They lost a Tri-Nation series against Scotland and Ireland at home right before the beginning of the World Cup. However, defeating Sri Lanka in a warm-up match will be a long-term memory for the team. The Orange army can take some motivation from that fixture and can plan their way.
Nepal is making a comeback to the T20 World Cup after more than a decade’s absence. The team has not been at their best in their recent fixtures. Nepal reached the playoffs of the ACC T20 Premier Cup but was eliminated after a defeat against Hong Kong. They also faced a loss against Canada in the warm-up fixture and hence the team management will be worried about the upcoming tournament.
Rohit Paudel is the leading man for the team and he will be expecting a positive approach from his bowlers and batsmen. Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh, and Anil Kumar Shah will be part of the top order of the team. The trio will be expected to give a solid start to the team. Kushal Malla, skipper Paudel, and Sundeep Jora will be part of the middle order.
The deck at the Grand Prairie in Dallas is considered favorable for batting and batsmen like to play on this pitch. This pitch plays well in the first innings of the match, but later starts slowing down, due to which it becomes difficult to score runs. Apart from this, another special thing about this pitch is that it helps pacers and spinners equally. The stadium was initially built to host the American Baseball games. For the T20 World Cup matches, the pitch has been freshly renovated with the pitch set to favour the batters.
The average first innings score on this wicket is 160 runs.
