Preview
The match 40th of the ODI World Cup 2023 will have England play against the Netherlands at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. The English are on a losing streak in the CWC 2023, while the Dutch haven’t done any better in the flagship tournament. Although England are out of the reckoning to defend their ODI World Cup title, a potential spot on the line in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 could make for a must-see contest against the Netherlands.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune have been very good for the batters in the ODI World Cup 2023. The average first innings score at this venue is 300, which could be breached especially if England’s batting lineup gets their act together for once in the CWC 2023, against the Netherlands.
Team Analysis
England
England batters haven’t put par totals on the board for the majority of the ODI World Cup 2023, with senior players like Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, and the captain Jos Buttler struggling for runs big time. The fast bowling duo of Chris Woakes and David Willey, along with the leg spinner Adil Rashid have found some form in the bowling department, but their contributions haven’t been enough for the English in the CWC 2023.

Netherlands
The Netherlands haven’t found the answers at the top of the order throughout the ODI World Cup 2023, which has put their middle order in tough positions, from which the captain Scott Edwards and Sybrand Engelbrecht have been able to resurrect them more often than not. The bowling has been a far stronger suit for the Dutch, especially with the likes of Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Roelof van der Merwe, and Paul van Meekeren picking up key wickets to curtail the progress of the oppositions in the CWC 2023.

Match Prediction
Conclusion
England will walk into their upcoming ODI World Cup 2023 match against the Netherlands as the favourites to win because of the better quality of players at their disposal, but they need to deliver a complete performance to achieve a positive result.
