Ireland vs Netherlands

Cricket World Cup 2011- Group B

Eden Gardens, Kolkata- 18th March 2011-

Ireland will look to end their World Cup campaign on a winning note when they face the Netherlands at Eden Gardens on Friday. Bet on Ireland vs Netherlands at the 2011 World Cup with PaddyPower after reading our betting preview at Sportsbookie.com.

Ireland have only won once in the tournament- an upset of neighbours England thanks to a fantastic knock from Kevin O’Brien. Unfortunately for the Irish, none of the other batsmen have really managed to capitalise on the starts they have got, resulting in the Irish losing several games from fairly winnable positions.

Against South Africa, the Irish bowlers did well, reducing the Proteas to 117/5. However JP Duminy and Colin Ingram managed to stage a fantastic recovery and helped South Africa reach 272/7. None of the Irish batsmen really got going, and the Proteas handed them a crushing 131 run defeat.

The Netherlands are the only team in Group B not to have won a single game at this World Cup. Against Bangladesh in Chittagong, only Ryan Ten Doeschate and to a lesser extent, Tom Cooper managed to get going, and the team folded up for a little over 150. Bangladesh raced to the target with plenty to spare.

Ireland have won five of their last six games against the Dutch and will be keen to preserve their record as the leading Associate Nation from this World Cup. A win against the Dutch will go a long way in helping them acheiving that statistic.

Verdict:- Ireland to overcome the Netherlands and finish with two wins from their group engagements.

World Cup 2011: England vs Netherlands – betting preview

World Cup 2011: England vs Netherlands – betting previewPosted on February 20th, 2011 in Cricket World Cup

Game:- England vs Netherlands
Competition :- Cricket World Cup 2011
Venue :- Vidarbha Cricket Association, Nagpur
Date :- Tuesday, 22 February 2011
Start time:- 09:00 GMT

England start off their World Cup campaign against Netherlands at Nagpur. While England are expected to make the knock-out stages at the least, Netherlands would do well to win a game in the group. England have been made strong favourites by Bet365. Read our preview and place a bet or two.

England results – last few games – most recent games on top
v. Pakistan (Won by 67 runs) Pietersen 66, Broad 5-25
v. Canada (Won by 16 runs) Prior 78, Broad 5-37

England have been tinkering with their line-up in the warmup games. Their top order is yet to settle down as a cohesive unit. A lot of players are coming back into the side after injury, and hence need to be eased into the game. Andy Flower would demand that his side do much better than the 1-6 loss in the ODI Series Down Under.

Kevin Pietersen has been made the makeshift opened for the World Cup. He will face the new ball along with Andrew Strauss. Eoin Morgan’s enterprise will be sorely missed for the talented southpaw will miss the World Cup with a finger injury. On the bowling front, Tim Bresnan’s calf tear is the biggest concern. He is fighting a race against time to be fit for this game against Holland.

Netherlands results – last few games – most recent games on top
v. Kenya (Won by 2 wickets) ten Doeschate 98 & 2-47
v. Zimbabwe (Loss by 115 runs) Kervezee 33, Bukhari 3-42

Peter Borren will lead the Dutch outfit this time around, and there are six players playing their first World Cup. Essex and Tasmania star Ryan ten Doeschate and Worcestershire-based opener Alexei Kervezee will be the mainstays in batting. Young wicketkeeper Wesley Baresi, seamers Westdijk and Bradley Kruger have shown a lot of promise.

Match Verdict: Although we are not sure of England’s chances to lift the Cup, it can be safely said that they will overpower Netherlands in their opening game.
