Cricket Prediction | Netherlands vs Canada | 1st T20I | Aug 23 – Let’s see who will win the 1st Match. 

NED vs CAN Match Analysis

When the Netherlands T20I Tri-series 2024 gets underway at Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht, host Netherlands hopes to get their home season off to a strong start against Canada. 

The Netherlands was eliminated from the competition during the preliminary stages of the 2024 T20 World Cup. After defeating Nepal, the Netherlands lost to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. In this T20I Tri-series contested at home, captain Scott Edwards will hope the team can turn around their fortunes.

However, in the United States and the Caribbean during the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup, Canada likewise failed to leave an impression. In their first meeting, Captain Saad Bin Zafar will hope that the team can adapt to the circumstances and perform well.

The fact that the Netherlands has won three of the four Twenty20 International matches against Canada gives them hope.
