Analysis
The Netherlands have grown into a solid unit through this tournament with some incredible results in the World Cup. The Dutch bowling has been consistent with contributions coming from both spinners and fast bowlers as they have managed to extract a lot from the conditions. But their batting lineup has been a concern with their top batters failing to consistently score runs.
On the other hand, Afghanistan, after a poor opening game loss, has emerged as one of the most clinical teams in the tournament. The Hashmatullah Shahidi-led side has grown into a stunning chasing unit that has defeated three former World Champions in Sri Lanka, England and Pakistan. The top four Afghani batters have consistently scored runs while their spin bowling attack has been one of the best in the tournament.
