AFG vs NED Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for Afghanistan vs the Netherlands, First ODI

Afghanistan will take on the Netherlands in the first ODI at the West End International Cricket Stadium in Doha, Qatar on Friday.

All three ODIs between Afghanistan and the Netherlands are set to be played in Doha.

Afghanistan will be without veteran all-rounder Mohammad Nabi, who withdrew his name in order to provide more opportunities to younger players. The team will be captained by Hashmatullah Shahidi.

The Netherlands, on the other hand, will be led by experienced campaigner Pieter Seelar. They have some quality players at their disposal and the onus will be on them to force the issue against Afghanistan.
