The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has seen many unexpected outcomes so far. A supposedly weaker team like Afghanistan has defeated defending champions England and established sub-continental sides like Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Similarly, the Netherlands have also delighted their supporters by beating South Africa and Bangladesh. So when the perceived ‘minnows’ Afghanistan and Netherlands take each other on for their upcoming World Cup clash, there are bound to be fireworks. (Match Blog | Scorecard | Full Coverage)
Both the teams have won their respective last match and will be looking forward to maintaining their momentum. The race for the semi-finals is into its last phase, and Afghanistan’s hopes are still alive. The Afghans have three wins out of six matches and must defeat the Dutch to stay in the reckoning for a historic last-four spot.
The Netherlands have also been a dark horse in the tournament, though their chances of qualifying are bleak, as they have secured just two wins in six matches. But their potential, skills and spirit are enough to turn the tables on other teams. Netherlands defeated Bangladesh by a whopping 87 runs in their last game, and if luck favours them and they win three consecutive matches from here on, the Dutch might well qualify for the semi-finals.

Netherlands and Afghanistan have played nine ODI matches against each other. Afghanistan have won seven matches, while the Netherlands have won just two.
