ICC MEN’S CRICKET WORLD CUP 2023 Match 2, Pakistan v Netherlands. Odds, Tips and Promotions

💯 Pakistan v Netherlands Betting Odds

There are many quality bookmakers that you can register with in order to bet on this second match of the CWC, but some are much better than others. In the tables below, I have provided you with the odds that five top bookies are offering for three popular markets in cricket betting.

Match Winner Odds: Pakistan v Netherlands

This is one of the simplest markets out there since what you are tasked with doing is predicting the team that will go on to win the match. There will be no option of betting on a draw since the likelihood of draws happening in this format of the sport are quite low.

In the following table, you can find the odds that are currently being offered for either Pakistan or the Netherlands to win this match:

Team
Pakistan	1.04	N/A	1.04	1.20	1.20
Netherlands	10.00	9.50	9.80	9.50	9.50

Top Batsman Odds: Pakistan v Netherlands

One of my favourite markets when it comes to cricket betting is the top batsman market, which is where you have to try and predict the player who will top score for their team. I must stress that this is not an easy cricket betting market to get right due to the fact that one simple error can spell the end for a batsman. This is why the odds will usually be enticing for this type of wager.

Below you can find the three Pakistani and Dutch batsmen that I feel have a good chance of scoring the most runs for their team in Hyderabad.

Pakistan:

Team
Babar Azam	3.00	TBA	TBA	3.00	3.00
Imam-ul-Haq	3.50	TBA	TBA	3.50	3.50
Fakhar Zaman	3.50	TBA	TBA	4.50	4.50

Netherlands:

Team
Max O'Dowd	4.33	TBA	TBA	4.33	4.33
Vikramijt Singh	5.50	TBA	TBA	4.75	4.75
Bas de Leede	5.50	TBA	TBA	4.75	4.75

Top Wicket Taker Odds: Pakistan v Netherlands

If the Top Batsman market is not really your kind of cup of tea, then perhaps the Top Bowler market is. With this bet, you need to guess the bowler who will pick up the most wickets for their team - the number of wickets taken here is the important column, not the number of runs conceded.

Below I have selected three bowlers from each team that have a top chance of being the top wicket-taker for their side:

Pakistan:

Team
Shaheen Afridi	3.25	TBA	TBA	3.25	3.25
Haris Rauf	3.75	TBA	TBA	4.00	4.00
Shadab Khan	4.33	TBA	TBA	5.00	5.00

Netherlands:

Team
Logan van Beek	4.00	TBA	TBA	4.00	4.00
Paul van Meekeren	4.50	TBA	TBA	4.20	4.20
Roelof van der Merwe	4.00	TBA	TBA	3.40	3.40

🔍 Pakistan v Netherlands Match Winner Prediction

Many think that this match will be a complete walkover and that the points should just be handed straight to Pakistan now, but the Netherlands have caused some big upsets in the past, and they will be confident of pushing a mercurial Pakistan team all of the way.

While I think that the Dutch will give a better account of themselves than what many others are expecting, I still feel that Pakistan will go on to pick up the win. They have more talent in their squad, and this talent will eventually shine through to give Pakistan a winning start to their campaign.

✔️ Pakistan v Netherlands CWC Betting Tips

Let me now give you some useful betting tips ahead of this 2023 Cricket World Cup match between Pakistan and the Netherlands:

Match Winner: Pakistan to Win

Pakistan and the Netherlands have played each other six times in the ODI format, and they have come out on top on all six occasions. Pakistan have one of the strongest bowling attacks in the competition, in my opinion, and all of the best batsmen will be wary about coming up against them. I can see the Dutch bowlers causing the Pakistani batsmen some issues, but ultimately the likes of Shaheen Afridi and Harris Rauf should see the match favourites go on to pick up the all-important points. It will be interesting to see how the Dutch batsmen do against some of the best bowlers in the world.

If you want to back Pakistan to go on and, win this match at odds of 1,2 then head on to Unibet.

Pakistan's Top Batsman Winner: Babar Azam to Win

Pakistan have produced some quality batsmen throughout their rich cricket history, and one of my current favourites is Babar Azam. He is one of the best batsmen in the world at the moment, and opposing teams will want to send him back to the pavilion as quickly as possible as he can score very fast when he gets his eye in. In the 106 ODI games that he has played, he has scored 5370 runs at an average of 59.01, including 19 centuries and 28 half-centuries.

If you think Azam will be the top scorer for Pakistan against the Netherlands, then BoyleSports are offering odds of 3.00.

Netherlands' Top Batsman Winner: Max O'Dowd to Win

The Netherlands are not blessed with a plethora of batting talent, but they do have some players who are worth keeping an eye on. When it comes to the top scorer for the Dutch against Pakistan, I would be tempted to put my money on Max O'Dowd as he can be explosive at the top of the order. In the 33 ODI matches that he has played, he has scored 1,158 runs at a batting average of 37.35 - this includes 10 half-centuries and a top score of 90.

If you want to back O'Dowd as well, then LeoVegas are currently offering odds of 4.33.

Pakistan's Top Wicket Taker: Shaheen Afridi to Win Top Wicket Taker

Pakistan have a quality bowling attack, but the bowler who I think will pick up the most wickets for them against the Netherlands is Shaheen Afridi. At just 23 years of age, he is already considered to be one of the best bowlers in the world, and his stats back this up - in 42 ODI matches, he has picked up 83 wickets at a very good average of 22.62. With his pace, variation, and skill, I can see the Dutch batsmen struggling against him.

Those who want to back Afridi to be the top wicket taker for Pakistan can do so with odds of 3.25 at BoyleSports.

Netherlands' Top Wicket Taker: Logan van Beek to Win Top Wicket Taker

The Netherlands have produced some decent bowlers over the years, and Logan van Beek is one of these. There is a chance that the Dutch bowling unit will struggle to make inroads into a very talented Pakistan batting lineup, but I can see van Beek causing some issues. In the 25 ODI matches that he has played in, he has picked up 34 wickets at an average of 33.41.

If you also want to put your money on van Beek to be the top wicket taker for the Netherlands, then BoyleSports are offering odds of 4.00 for him to come out on top.
