Preview:
In a 33-over game, hosts Netherlands came out on top in the 1st ODI, beating the visiting Scotland side by 15 runs to go 1-0 up in the series. Max O’ Dowd and Vivian Kingma were the top performers for the Netherlands in the winning cause.
On the other hand, it’s a must-win game for Scotland to level the series. Their top 3 batters failed to score runs in the 1st ODI, and as a result, they were short of the target by 15 runs. They are balanced side and are likely to make a comeback in the 2nd ODI.

Pitch Report:
It will be partially cloudy at the start of the match. The ball is expected to swing a lot and the batters need to play out the initial few overs and then they can switch the gears. Bowling first is a good option.

NED vs SCO Risky Captaincy Choices:
Ben Cooper has managed to score only 22 runs in the last 3 matches he has played. It’s risky to make him your fantasy team skipper.
Matthew Cross has scored 86 runs in his last 5 ODI matches. He is known for giving starts for his side and it’s worth a risk choosing him as your fantasy skipper.
Player you should avoid:
Aryan Dutt has just made his ODI debut in the 1st match of the series where he picked up a wicket and scored 8* runs. He needs some more time to perform even well so you can avoid him while making your fantasy teams.
