Netherlands v Afghanistan Cricket World Cup 2023 TV coverage, live stream, UK time

Afghanistan had won just one World Cup match in their history before 2023. In this competition alone, they've won three. And what’s more, a win against the Dutch will put them on course for a potential straight shootout with Australia for a spot in the last four.

But Afghanistan aren’t the only nation living a fairytale at this World Cup, with the Netherlands knocking over South Africa as well as Bangladesh, and in the process putting themselves in contention for a top eight finish and a spot in the 2025 Champions Trophy.

The Netherlands do not have Test cricket status. If they successfully reach the tournament designed only for the top eight cricketing nations in the world, it’ll be a monumental achievement - and one could financially change the landscape of the sport in the country.

Netherlands v Afghanistan key player to watch

Azmatullah Omarzai (Afghanistan)

Azmatullah still only has a handful of ODI caps to his name, but he has quickly become a key figure for this Afghanistan team, contributing vital middle order runs as well as a number of handy overs with the ball.

He has two half-centuries already this World Cup, and you’d be a brave man to bet against him finishing it with a few more.
