 The 13th game of the Cricket World Cup will see Netherlands take
on West Indies at the Feroz Shah Kota in Delhi. The two teams have
played one game each and lost both their games and hence will look to ensure that
the sides can win this one in order to go into the rest of the games with much
confidence.
Where West Indies will need to get going is their batting. Their batting struggled
against South Africa and while the Dutch bowling will be much easier to play,
it will require some decent batting from West Indies to get to a good total.

West Indies will have some issues with their batting. First of all Chris Gayle
needs to start scoring runs. He had scored only 2 in the previous game and will
look to ensure that he can get a move on in the next match.
The bowling will be much easier to face for Gayle but whether he can wind up
and hit the ball around is a big question to be answered.
However, it is not only Gayle who will look to get the runs. it is the batting
of Darren Bravo which had also come into the cynosure of everyone's eyes
in the previous game. He had ensured that the fans watching were reminded of
Brian Lara, and that will put a lot of pressure on the likes of the Dutch bowling.
Where Netherlands has to improve is their bowling. After getting to 292 they
got to far too many runs and that will mean that the side will look to ensure
that they bowl in the right areas and channel.
Ryan ten Doeschate is not only an excellent batsman who scored a century but
also a bowler who can bowl his 10 overs for almost next t nothing. It will be
up to the other bowlers to be able to support him and get going.
Where they can think of changing things around is by adding an extra spinner.
Pieter Seelar got a good game in and one senses that the Dutch will look to
also get in another spinner in Adeel Raja a bowler who was missed in the first
game against England. the rest of the side will remain the same for the game
an ten Doeschate will be the batsman to look out for
