The Netherlands (NED) face the West Indies (WI) in their first ODI at the VRA Cricket Ground in Amstelveen on Tuesday.
A new-look Windies side will begin a new era under the captaincy of Nicholas Pooran. West Indies boast of a youthful and talented side coming into this game with the onus on Rovman Powell and Akeal Hosein to step up for the tourists.
Speaking of the Dutch, they gave a decent account of themselves against New Zealand earlier in the year and will look to build on those performances. Although they head into this game as the underdogs, Netherlands have a strong roster to fall back on, making for a good contest in Amstelveen.

Pitch Report
A competitive track beckons at the VRA Cricket Ground with ample help on offer for both the pacers and spinners. The new ball should do a bit for the pacers, keeping the batters on their toes. As the match continues, the pitch could even out a touch, allowing batters to play their shots freely.
The spinners might not get much turn in the middle overs, although there is value in varying their lines and lengths according to the conditions. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss with the pitch not expected to change much during the game.
