Pakistan beat the tenacious Netherlands team by 81 runs on Friday, October 6, in Hyderabad, giving them a winning start in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023.
For the Dutch team, Bas de Leede played admirably, excelling with both bat and ball. He took four wickets in the first innings before playing an outstanding 67-ball performance in the run chase. After the game, De Leede said that his team would be well-prepared for the remaining games if they had faced a formidable bowling attack like Pakistan early in the competition. The 23-year-old also made analogies between Pakistan‘s pacers and that of their upcoming rivals, New Zealand.
Every team in this sport has a strong bowling attack, thus developing a strategy and getting ready for that are undoubtedly involved. Naturally, Henry was good at first, then Trent Boult, who is probably similar to Shaheen, followed. Haris Rauf and Lockie Ferguson definitely have a lot in common. Therefore, there are many similarities, but I believe we will use what we learned from this game to attempt to adjust for the following one,” De Leede was cited as saying by India Today.
At different times throughout the match versus Pakistan, the Netherlands won over both supporters and detractors. The “Men in Green” came under some pressure from Scott Edwards and company during the first innings of the second match of the ODI World Cup 2023. The Asian juggernauts did, however, manage to score a formidable 286 runs. In response, Netherlands was in a strong position at 120/2 in the 24th over, but they continued to lose wickets frequently and were eventually bowled out for 205.
In order to make technical modifications before his journey to India, Bas de Leede said, “I tried to pick line and length up a bit quicker than I’m probably used to.”
The gifted young man claimed that he spoke with persons who were familiar with Indian conditions and learned about the technical adjustments required to flourish in the nation.
“Well, when I came here to India, I talked to a few guys who have experience, and I asked them what they thought foreign batters should do to succeed against spin here. I believe that after that, I made an effort to pick up lines and lengths a little bit quicker than usual. and more such things. Additionally, De Leede suggested that prior to the game, players should consider their game plans and consult with the coaches.
