Netherlands vs Afghanistan Cricket World Cup 2023: Expected lineups, head-to-head, toss, predictions and betting odds
The Netherlands and Afghanistan will meet in the 34th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on November 3 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
While it's a do-or-die game for the Netherlands, Afghanistan too will heavily dent their semi-final chances if they lose to the Dutch.
In their previous outing, the Netherlands pummeled Bangladesh, gaining their second victory in the ongoing tournament.
Afghanistan are coming off successive wins over Pakistan and Sri Lanka. They are high on confidence and are pretty much in the race to make the semis.

Netherlands vs Afghanistan: Prediction for CWC 2023 match
Although there were not many expectations from both these teams, it has been a pleasant surprise to see them performing the way they have in this World Cup.
The match is in Lucknow. We have seen spinners doing well there. Afghanistan could take advantage of this as they probably have the best spin attack among all the teams, and due to this, they have better chances of claiming a victory over the Oranje Army.
