Toss Netherlands chose to bowl vs USA
Netherlands do have two points to their name after their victory against Namibia, and they made one change of bringing back right-arm quick Kyle Klein as a like for like for Timm van der Gugten. Klein had played in the opening game when they ran Pakistan close whereas van der Gugten had featured against Namibia when he leaked 21 runs in two overs.
USA, on the other hand, made three changes. Ali Khan was fit again after hurting himself in their opening clash against India. He, Saiteja Mukkamalla and Nosthush Kenjige came in for Andries Gous, Ehsan Adil and Saurabh Netravalkar.
USA captain Monank Patel wanted his top-order batters to take more responsibility by seeing through the first five to 10 balls instead of going for the big shots straightaway.
It was “quite chilly” according to Ian Bishop at the toss as the temperature was around 24 degrees Celsius and will dip further with some humidity around.
USA: 1 Monank Patel (capt), 2 Shayan Jahangir (wk), 3 Saiteja Mukkamalla, 4 Milind Kumar, 5 Sanjay Krishnamurthi, 6 Shubham Ranjane, 7 Harmeet Singh, 8 Mohammad Mohsin, 9 Shadley van Schalkwyk, 10 Nosthush Kenjige, 11 Ali Khan.
Netherlands: 1 Michael Levitt, 2 Max O’Dowd, 3 Bas de Leede, 4 Colin Ackermann, 5 Scott Edwards (capt/wk), 6 Zach Lion-Cachet, 7 Logan van Beek, 8 Aryan Dutt, 9 Roelof van der Merwe, 10 Kyle Klein, 11 Fred Klaassen.
