England Favourites in Dead Rubber Against Netherlands

Chittagong - Already out of the semifinal race, both England and the Netherlands would be hoping to drew curtains to their ICC World Twenty20 campaign with with a win in their last Group 2 league match on Monday.

With three wins from four matches, South Africa had already qualified for the semifinals from this group and they will be joined by the winners of the match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, who both have four points each.

England have only one win from three matches while the Netherlands are yet to register a victory in the group.

England definitely will start as favourites in Monday's dead rubber against the minnows.

England have been hit hard by the loss against New Zealand via Duckworth-Lewis method in their tournament opener.

But the Stuart Broad-led side came back strongly to beat Sri Lanka in the next match.

However, the three-run defeat against South Africa on Saturday dashed England's any hopes of progressing to the knock-out stage.

Chasing an imposing 197-run target set by South Africa, England came pretty close to a memorable win before finishing at 193 for seven. And the defeat would definitely have hurt the morale of the team.

The Netherlands gave South Africa a mighty scare before falling short by just six runs.

The Netherlands then came out with an impressive batting performance against New Zealand to score 151 for four but it was not enough to register a victory.

And come on Monday, it won't be a surprise to see another gutsy performance from the Dutchmen and England would be fully aware of that.
