Pitch Report
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, known for its batting-friendly pitches, has seen seven ODIs to date. Out of these, teams batting first have emerged victorious four times, indicating the advantage of setting a score on this ground. On the other hand, the chasing teams have won three matches. The average first innings score here stands at a hefty 288, with the highest score soaring to 350 and the lowest at 174. While batters find solace on this pitch, bowlers, especially pacers, can find success with varied pace. Spinners, on the other hand, have reaped rewards by delivering slower through the air. The two warm-up matches held here produced nearly 1500 runs, reinforcing the venue's reputation for high-scoring games. Given these statistics and ground history, the captain winning the toss will likely choose to bat first, aiming to capitalize on the surface's batting conditions and set a challenging target for the opposition.
PAK vs NED: Head-To-Head ODI Record
In their ODI history, Pakistan and the Netherlands have squared off 6 times, with Pakistan emerging victorious on each occasion. Given this track record, the Netherlands faces an uphill battle against Pakistan in the upcoming clash.
