Afghanistan vs Netherlands 1st ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report and Live Streaming Details

Afghanistan and the Netherlands are set to feature in a three-match ODI series, starting on January 21. The West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha will host all the matches of the series.

Both sides will look to get underway with a win. The ODI series will be part of the ICC Cricket World Super League and thirty points are up for grabs for both sides.

Hashmatullah Shahidi has been handed the responsibility of leading the Afghan side after Mohammad Nabi ruled himself out to give younger players an opportunity. The squad consists of several uncapped cricketers, who will be eager to grab any opportunity that comes their way.

However, the likes of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Najibullah Zadran will continue to play a vital role in the side.

Meanwhile, the Dutch team will be led by Pieter Seelaar. After a disappointing outing in the T20 World Cup, they toured South Africa for a limited-overs series, but it was postponed due to COVID-19.

This series will provide a good opportunity for them to create a mark in the ODI format. They have got some exciting players on their side and it will be a cracker of a series.
