Top Picks for NED vs WI Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Batters

Max O’Dowd:

He is an opener who made his ODI debut in June 2019 and has been featured in 11 matches since then. He has made 359 runs at an average of 39.88 and has hit 3 half-centuries.

Rovman Powell:

He had a great outing in the recently completed IPL. In 14 matches, he made 250 runs at an average of 25 and a strike rate of 149.7. He would be experienced to play with a similar intent in this series.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

Logan van Beek:

He made his ODI debut last year in May against Scotland. He played a key role for the Netherlands with both the bat and the ball in the last ODI series against New Zealand. He picked 7 wickets in 3 matches at an average of 21.14 and made 53 runs at a strike rate of 81.53.

Romario Shepherd:

He played his last ODI against Ireland in January this year. In the last 2 T20I series against India and England, Shepherd showed that he can be a great asset for the team with both the bat and the ball.

Top Picks – Bowlers

Akeal Hosein:

He has played only 14 ODIs for West Indies and his on-paper records might not be that impressive in this format of the game. However, he has shown his class in the shortest format of the game. In 71 T20s, he has taken 51 wickets at an average of 25.56.

Fred Klaassen:

He has played 13 ODIs and has taken 25 wickets at an average of 18.88. However, his experience in domestic cricket makes him one of the key players for the Netherlands.

Top Picks – Wicketkeeper

Nicholas Pooran:

He is by far the most important player for West Indies. He was a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise in the 2022 season of IPL and made 306 runs in 14 matches at an average of 38.25.

NED vs WI Risky Captaincy Choices:
