If New Zealand can win against Sri Lanka today, they will almost certainly qualify for the semi-finals. A win against Sri Lanka today will not officially guarantee the semi-final but New Zealand will have a much better chance of making it to the semi-finals. Pakistan's next match is against England, even if Pakistan wins against England, Pakistan's chances will be low as Pakistan's net run rate is very low compared to New Zealand. Pakistan's only chance is if New Zealand loses today against Sri Lanka and they win the next match against England or they have another equation which is if New Zealand wins against Sri Lanka today then Pakistan must win against England by a huge margin. If these equations go in Pakistan's favour, Pakistan will be the fourth team to qualify for the semi-finals of the World Cup.
In my opinion I think Pakistan have a little chance to go in the next round. Even then they seems like more stronger team from the England team but I have a doubt on that match result who's gonna won that match. But in today's match I think New Zealand team going to win even then New Zealand team passing a bad time but I think they have ability to win against Sri Lanka. So for today I am going to take New Zealand team for winning.

The good thing about today's match will be that both the teams have the personal interest in winning the match and it is not like one team is out of the World Cup and hence the win or loss does not matter. Yes, Sri Lanka is out of the World Cup already but they will be playing for a win so that they may not be the team not qualifying for the champions trophy. New Zealand on the other hand will want to win this match and thus increase their chances of moving ahead in this tournament.

In New Zealand Vs Sri Lanka match, there will be some tough situation for the Pakistan Team, if the New Zealand Team wins then slightly low chances will be for the Pakistan. But there are two more possibilities that will be good for the side of Pakistan, first if the Sri Lanka Team wins and Pakistan win their match England then They will qualify for the Next Round. And Second if The rains hits then it will also be a probability for the Pakistan. So let's see who will be in the Top 4 teams and who will qualify for the Semi's.
Among the three teams Afghanistan and Pakistan and New Zealand, New Zealand is leading in net run rate. Although Afghanistan won't win against South Africa but if Afghanistan win it won't win by much margin. In this respect, it can be said that Afghanistan is behind to reach the semi-finals among the 3 teams. If New Zealand wins today then NRR will be more +. Sri Lanka are not in good form, New Zealand scored 401 runs in the last match, New Zealand is back in form. On the other hand, if Pakistan wants to reach the semi-finals, it will have to win against England by a large margin. England has performed well in the last match, it doesn't seem like Pakistan can win by a big margin. The upcoming Pakistan vs England match will be an important match for both the teams. Today's match is going to be a do or die match for both teams. If New Zealand lose today, their hopes of making the semi-finals are over, and if Sri Lanka lose, they will not be able to play in the Champions Trophy. But in today's match I think New Zealand will win. I think New Zealand will make it to the semi-finals.

New Zealand on the other hand will want to win this match and thus increase their chances of moving ahead in this tournament.
If we look at the odds of this match at stake.com, for Srilanka you will get 3.25 odds while for the New Zealand the odds are only 1.25 before the start of the match. We can clearly see that New Zealand is the favorite team and for Sri Lanka to win this one, they would be needing an upset.

NZ vs SL, a crucial game for New Zealand and Pakistan. Afghanistan are in with a slimmest chance to make it but its very unlikely.

The New Zealand team is not in good form. They have lost all four matches in a row. And that's why it's difficult for the team to even qualify for the semi-finals now. If New Zealand want to qualify for the semi-finals, they will definitely need to win today's match by a big margin. New Zealand's chances of qualifying for the semi-finals are slim unless they beat Sri Lanka by a big margin. Pakistan and New Zealand's points are now equal. So New Zealand should be ahead in net run rate. I expect New Zealand to win today's match. The performance of the Sri Lankan bowlers is not very good. At the same time, the performance of the batsmen is also erratic.

Mujeeb dropped an easy catch of Maxwell yesterday when he was batting on 33. We have seen such critical mistakes from teams like Afghanistan for quite sometimes. The story of yesterday match would be different if Mujeeb had taken that easy catch. Anyways Afghanistan were not able to achieve both there targets of beating Pakistan and Australia but they will be happy that finally they have won against Pakistan.
Not just mujeeb drop Maxwell catch but thier captain hashmatullah Shahidi too, I mean they really give alot chances to Maxwell or like we can say it's his good luck because none of thier other player can even hold his wickets for a while they were Just coming and departure to pavilion. Yeh also they beat paksitan for a first time in ODI world Cup and to be honest they did a good job I mean if we have a look at match then they don't even hesitate or feel himself in trouble against a best Paksitani bowlers while chasing.Tomorrow we have a really demanded Match because here will be decided whom will qualify for semifinals because if NewZeland won then there chances will be really high and paksitan has to won his game with big margin against England but if NewZeland lose or abounded due to rain then paksitan will be straight away to semifinals against india

Looks like the Dutch won't qualify for the ICC champions trophy 2025 sadly since they will most probably stay in last position.
Netherlands have only one match left, and it is against India. There is no possibility for them to win against India. So, we can keep Netherlands out of the Champions Trophy journey. We will also miss one team among England, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy. Both New Zealand and Pakistan will also try their best to qualify for the semifinals of this world cup. The remaining matches are going to be interesting for sure. November 08, 2023, 01:41:57 PM

England won by 160 runs. The player of the match is Ben Stokes for his outstanding batting performance scored 108 runs in just 84 balls. England scored 339 runs in loss of 9 wickets in 50 over. From Netherlands Bas de Leede bowling good picked up 3 important wicktes by giving 74 runs in 10 overs. While chasing down the target Netherlands only manage to score 179 runs and all out in just 37.2 overs. Teja Nidamanuru batting well 41 runs unbeaten in 34 balls and Scott Edwards also scored 38 runs in 42 balls. England bowling performance is top class Moeen Ali who pick 3 wickets by giving 42 runs in 8.2 overs and Adil Rashid also picked 3 wickets by giving 54 runs in 8 overs.
Credit of such high target and victory goes to malan for better start and also Ben stokes who played incredible innings in last overs which help England to scored 300 plus runs for a second time in this world cup after Bangladesh. I wasn't expecting such kind of performance from them after consecutive brutal defeats from normal team, but I think their little bit dedication and hard work against Australia in previous match give them extra confidence to know their self play their natural game without any pressure no matter what kind of results they will get at their second last game.
No I think their performance will not be wasted because it will help them to gain high position in world cup points table which will directly help them for champions trophy qualification

Ben Stokes played an inning of faith, as he had also been a good batter since he played against the Australia back was in a year and also he smashed sixes all over the ground. His innings of 108 runs in 87 ball consists of 6 big sixes and 6 foura towards the boundaries. Although Netherlands was not too good today, they were out as they are not considers as the best team for the World cup.
But Netherlands team also won their matches preciously which makes their moral up and they also made a upset in this World Cup. So they are a team that can perform better and improve Cricket but they need to focus on their batting side to make it better for the next matches.

Inexperienced teams are finding it hard to win against experienced sides. Yesterday Afghanistan had Australia down to 91/7, but then Maxwell and Cummins took them to 293/7. And today Netherlands had England at 192/6. But then Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes took them to 339/9. It is a torture to watch the Dutch batting. Last time they had 5 of their batsmen runout in a single innings. And today also they started the same trend with a needless runout of Wesley Barresi. If they waste these chances, then they don't have any right to ask for more matches against full member nations.

Netherlands seems to have run out of steam. Even during today's match they were in such a controlling position. When Moeen Ali got out, they were at 192/6. Ideally the Dutch captain should have brought in his attacking bowlers such as Paul van Meekeren and Logan van Beek. On the other hand, he persisted with useless part-timers such as Colin Ackermann and in the end Ben Stokes was able to build a good partnership for the 7th wicket along with Chris Woakes. Even then they should have restricted England to 280-290. But the Dutch bowlers simply went crazy during the depth overs.

This is the first time in this tournament England squad has given such a big defending target to their opposite squad otherwise in previous matches, they would difficult to defend or made a target of 200 scores or below. Their performance in this match was totally wasted because they already out in tournament.

At one point, it looked like England would be out before 250 runs, but then 129 runs in the 7th wicket partnership raised the target considerably. You can call it a poor performance by the Dutch bowlers but I think it was a good performance by England batsmen Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes. Ben Stokes scored an incredible 108 and played a vital role in England win.
The Dutch also performed poorly with the bat and none of the batsmen proved difficult for England bowlers. England bowled well and put the Netherlands batsmen in trouble. However, both the teams have been eliminated from the semi-finals of the World Cup. If England continue this performance, it could create problems for Pakistan in the next match, who will be trying hard to qualify for the semi-finals.

Yes England start were quite fantastic especially when malan were on crease he really give a good start to his team but later some quick dismissal broke thier momentum and like we can say they collapse at mid same like they does from start of this world cup but they way rocovery has been done by stokes is at another class he really done a good job with a sunsational century when team really need such innings otherwise they will scored 250 around which will release much pressure from Netherlands while chasing and may be possibly they will not get such higher margin win which help them to move his position upper in standing table 
November 08, 2023, 11:57:25 AM
Bet on England at 1.15 odds and won as expected. This was an easy prediction since they lost against Australia by a small margin while Netherlands kept losing by big margins. Malan and Stokes were terrific.
Looks like the Dutch won't qualify for the ICC champions trophy 2025 sadly since they will most probably stay in last position.
