Pitch Report

At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, renowned for its batter-friendly tracks, a total of eight ODIs have been played. Remarkably, teams setting a target have clinched victory in five out of these matches, underlining the inherent advantage of batting first on this surface. On the other hand, teams chasing have only tasted success on three occasions. The average score for the team batting first stands impressively at 287 runs, with 350 being the highest score and 174 the lowest. Although the surface is a batter's paradise, pace bowlers have occasionally found rhythm by mixing up their deliveries, as evidenced in the recent Pakistan-Netherlands clash. Meanwhile, spinners have enjoyed success by slowing their pace in the air. Pakistan emerged victors in the latest encounter at this venue, opting to bat first. Taking the track's history and these statistics into consideration, it's highly probable that the captain winning the toss might lean towards batting first, hoping to exploit the conducive batting environment and set a challenging total for the opposition.

NZL vs NED: Head-To-Head ODI Record

New Zealand has emerged victorious over the Netherlands in all their four ODI encounters. Three of these matches were hosted by New Zealand, with one at a neutral venue. In their most recent series in 2022, the Black Caps clinched a 3-0 victory. Despite the Netherlands' spirited performances, they're yet to secure a win against New Zealand in ODIs.
