Although the Netherlands team is at the 8th position in the points table, Afghanistan is far ahead if we consider this. But in today's match, Afghanistan team is not doing good bowling performance, although Netherlands team lost one wicket in the beginning of the match (currently 2 wickets down), there is no danger of further wickets falling later. If the Netherlands team can defend the wicket and stay on the field until the end, then surely they can gift the Afghanistan team with a big score of runs. If Netherlands team can score 270 plus runs today then there is definitely a chance to win. The current score of the Netherlands team is 74 runs down by 2 wickets.
Currently, Netherlands squad batting inning is still alive and they is batting in the crease. Saqib Zulifiqar batter and Logan van Beek batter are batting at the crease and recently Netherlands squad has lost one wicket of Bas de Leede now they lost total 6 batters from the crease. Saqib Zulifiqar made 57 scores off 84 balls and Sybrand Engelbrecht made 2 scores off 15 balls with not out. When Netherlands lost their first wickets at start of match and their performance seems very poor but next batters Max O'Dowd and Colin Ackermann perform good and support their squad. At this time, Netherlands squad made 151 scores off 34 overs and their squad lost 7 wickets and 16 overs were left for batting.

After losing the second wicket for 73 runs, Netherlands lost 5 batsmen to collect 100 runs. The interesting thing is that out of 5 batsmen, 3 batsmen have run out. I would say 3 Dutch batsmen got run out today due to inexperience. Probably Netherlands will lose all wickets before 150 runs. Netherlands just lost another wicket. Netherlands lost 6 batsmen f or 113 runs. Netherlands collected 66 runs in the first 10 overs. And in the next 15 overs, Netherlands mustered just 46 runs. Maybe the team will lose the remaining four wickets before 150. The performance of Afghanistan's bowlers is very controlled.
Once again the Dutch top order and middle order collapses. But this time the collapse occurred after they got a good start. Max O'Dowd and Colin Ackermann took them to 73/1 at one point and then they lost quick wickets to be at 134/7. The way some of the Dutch batsmen got themselves out was just shocking (example is Scott Edwards). Sybrand Engelbrecht is batting along with Roelof van der Merwe, but I don't expect them to get to 200. And in order to have any chance of winning, they need to get to at least 250.

Afghanistan is strong side because of their batting and bowling unit. Netherlands is new and not so much experience in world cup cricket. Afghanistan played 6 matches so far in this world cup and they have win 3 match against world champions team England, Pakistan and Srilanka with 8 points and 6th postion on points tables. Netherlands aslo played 6 matches in this world cup they win only 2 match one against Top team South Africa and Second is against Bangladesh, they are 8th Positions in point tables. Winner of this match between Afghanistan and Netherlands will have more chances to qualify for Champion trophy.
In terms of experience, both the teams are at the same level. Netherlands was part of the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League (scrapped for the second season), and as a part of this tournament they played 24 ODI matches against full member nations. And they do have very experienced players such as Wesley Barresi, Logan van Beek and Roloef van der Merwe. So it is not actually correct to label the Netherlands as an inexperienced team. They maybe an associate nation, but there is no dearth of international experience for sure. Netherlands lost the wicket of opener Barresi in the first over. But at the end of 8 overs their collection is 51/1. O'Dowd and Colin are batting very responsibly. They managed to score more than 6 runs per over.

Even if Afghanistan wins today's match, it will not guarantee their place in the semi finals. After that Afghanistan has other two matches with Australia and South Africa, and they will have to win both these matches against tough opposition in order to secure their place in the semi final of the world cup.
Let's check the odds for today's match and see how bookies feel about the result of this match. Clearly, if you are to bet on this match, go with the Afghanistan team and be safe.

The Netherlands team did not do well in the first twenty overs and I think that they will play the other overs as they played the last twenty overs. They lost five main wickets and their main batsman otherwise they are scored average but they couldn’t do a good score because they lost the batsman who played well now middle order batsman were started to come early which is not good.
The players of the Netherlands were out because of running between the wickets, which means running out. Max O'Dowd played very well but unfortunately, he lost his wicket, He could have done something but he was out so the Netherlands’ chances to win this match went on low.
November 03, 2023, 05:05:19 AM
After losing the first wicket, the Netherlands batters built a good partnership, but unfortunately, the direct hit concluded that partnership. Then there were two back-to-back run-outs. How many of you have seen 3 run-outs out of 4 wickets? Ordinary from the Netherlands. Now, the Afghanistan team is in full control of the match and from here on, only a big partnership will help the Netherlands to get a respectable total.
As I was typing, another wicket went down. The Netherlands are now 97/5, and the wickets are continuously tumbling.
I think the Netherlands will give a target of less than 200 to Afghanistan. This should be a walk in the park for Afghanistan.

Max O'Dowd and Colin Ackermann put on an excellent partnership of 70 runs. But Max O'Dowd was just run out. Max O'Dowd was unlucky. He got out after collecting 42 runs off 40 balls. Azmatullah Omarzai fielded well. Netherlands managed to collect 74 runs in 12 overs. Although the run rate is quite good, I doubt whether Netherlands will be able to bat 50 overs. If the Netherlands can deliver a target of more than 280 today, they have a chance of winning. But if the target is less than 280 then Afghanistan team will win. Netherlands bowlers are not experienced enough. So the batsmen have to try to give big targets.

Because Afghanistan squad has several players who are playing regularly in IPL. However, Afghanistan team is in better form than Netherlands. Afghanistan team managed to defeat Sri Lanka Pakistan and England team. They are playing very well. Lucknow's pitch helps the bowlers a lot. If Afghanistan's bowlers are able to perform their duties properly then they have a chance to win.

Any event can happen at any time. For example, in the 15th match of Netherlands vs South Africa, Netherlands won the match by defeating South Africa, the strongest team in this World Cup. Although today's match is a win for Afghanistan, I am not saying anything about this match because if Afghanistan's top order batsmen concede defeat too quickly, I think Afghanistan will be very weak in this match. On the other hand, Netherlands is not very strong in this World Cup, their batting line-up is a bit better, if they can throw Afghanistan in a difficult moment with good balls, then maybe it will be good for Netherlands in this match. Let's see in today's match which team can win match well.
That was an accidental win. That was a rainy day. Or you can say the luck was favouring Netherlands. Otherwise they were not able to win that match. You have seen the batting of the South Africa in whole world cup matches. And today I think Afghanistan is more strong as compare to the Netherlands team. So let's hope the Afghanistan's win and Afghanistan will climb up with 8 points. And the next match of Afghanistan with Australia so that will be a tough match for Afghanistan.

Afghanistan already have done a good job in world cup as they have won 3 games. There only mistake is that they lost to weakest side of this tournament i.e Bangladesh. For Afghanistan it's like winning the World Cup. NZ already know that rest of there games are very crucial to qualify for semis. Pakistan have not secured any win so far against strong teams so there chances are less for semis.
Afghanistan is already a full member and therefore they should strive to enter the semi-finals. For a team like Netherlands (being an associate member) it will be great news just to defeat 2-3 full members. But that is not the case with Afghanistan. If they can't enter the semi-final stage this time as well, then questions will be raised about their test status (similar to the ones that are being raised for full members who failed to qualify this time - West Indies, Ireland and Zimbabwe). Defeating Netherlands today should move them close to a semi-final slot, but two more tough matches await them in group phase. Afghanistan players are in very good form now. They won 3 out of 6 matches. They have defeated teams like Sri Lanka, Pakistan and England. I don't think Netherlands will be a tough opponent for Afghanistan. Because Afghanistan players are more confident now. Moreover, the Netherlands team is not very experienced. It will not be easy for Netherlands batsmen to stay at the crease against Afghanistan's bowling lineup. But Afghanistan's weakness is the erratic performance of their batsmen. Afghanistan cannot collect big unless the top order players perform well.

Like I mentioned previously, Netherlands won 2 out of 3 matches where they batted first. They won against South Africa and Bangladesh and they lost to Sri Lanka in a very close match. So if Afghanistan wins toss today and elects to bat first, then there is not much of a chance for a Dutch win. But if Netherlands wins the toss, then definitely it is going to get interesting. And in almost all the occasions, the Dutch top and middle order failed, while it was the lower order (especially Edwards, Logan van Beek and Roelof van der Merwe) who rescued them.

I think the way the Afghanistan team is playing, they may upset other teams and make their place in the 4th place, eliminating either Australia or New Zealand from the top 4. By the way, every remaining match of many teams is very important for them to qualify for the Semi finals and I think we are in to see some of the best World Cup matches now.
Even if the Netherlands win today, which is highly unlikely, they will get 6 points and come in line with other teams standing on six points each including Pakistan and Afghanistan
The performance of the Afghan team looks better than the last few matches, but I don’t think Afghanistan can cause problems against strong teams like Australia and New Zealand. It will not be easy for Afghanistan to qualify for the semi-finals by finishing fourth in the points table. The main reason is that after today’s tournament, Afghanistan play two games against strong teams like Australia and South Africa.
Victories over Australia and South Africa won’t be easy for either team, so I don’t see Afghanistan dominating either team This World Cup has had matches where weaker teams have beaten stronger teams , but it should also be remembered that luck does not always help, but success can always be achieved by one's own performance.
November 03, 2023, 12:11:04 AM
By losing this match Sri Lanka is now out of this world cup and India has confirmed its spot for semifinal. South Africa is also in.
And now there are four teams and from them 2 will be gone in Semifinal. NZ, AUS, AFG and PAK. If Afghanistan will win today match so Afghanistan will gain 8 points and will compete with AUS and NZ. Australia has 3 matches remaining. So this is hard to predict that who will go in Semifinal rounds. So let's see who will go.
Yes you are right my brother. The teams which you have mentioned have now a tough competition to qualify for the semifinal. Australia and Afghanistan have 3 3 matches left and Pakistan and New Zealand now 2 2 matches left.And now there are four teams and from them 2 will be gone in Semifinal. NZ, AUS, AFG and PAK. If Afghanistan will win today match so Afghanistan will gain 8 points and will compete with AUS and NZ. Australia has 3 matches remaining.

Exactly now this is really hard to predict at this about qualifying. But I think Australia and New Zealand will confirm their spots for Semifinal.

Australia may qualify for the semis, and they have weak opponents lined up for all of their 3 remaining matches (England, Afghanistan and Bangladesh). For New Zealand, things are not that difficult as their remaining opponents are Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The Pakistan vs New Zealand match is like a knockout. The winner of that match will have a great chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. Pakistani has the match against England coming up as well. Afghanistan need to face South Africa and Australia, so I am not much hopeful about them.

Afghanistan vs Netherlands match this match is very important for afghanistan because if afghanistan wins today it will make their way to semi final much easier. World Cup 2023 Afghanistan team is performing well so expect them to win today's match very easily. A good performance against the mighty Pakistan led to a win against Afghanistan. If he can play well against Netherlands today by maintaining his consistency then today's match is more likely for them to win. If Afghanistan wins the toss today, Afghanistan can win the match even if they give 300 runs or 270 runs to Netherlands if they choose to bat. Afghanistan's batting and bowling is very good.
Toss is going to be very important. Netherlands won two times against tough opposition by batting first. While fielding first, their performance have been quite poor. Conceded a total of 389 against Australia and then went on to lose that match by 309 runs. The only occasion when they lost while batting first has been against Sri Lanka. But even that one was a close match. Netherlands made 262, and Sri Lanka won with just 1.4 overs to spare. On the other hand, they were able to defend totals of 245 and 229, against South Africa and Bangladesh respectively.
