Although Canada secured a victory against Nepal, repeating the same feat against the Netherlands will be challenging. The Netherlands, having defeated strong teams like South Africa and Bangladesh in the ODI World Cup 2023, are more experienced and stronger in international cricket. While Canada is expected to put up a good fight, the Netherlands is favored to win this match.
Prediction: Netherlands to win the 10th warm-up match against Canada.
