The Netherlands will take on Afghanistan in their next clash of the ongoing tournament. The Dutch head into this fixture on the back of a convincing 87-run win over Bangladesh. On the other hand, Afghanistan registered a seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka in their last match. While the Netherlands have occupied the bottom third spot on the standings, the South Asian team currently sits on sixth spot with three wins in their account. Pitch Report The pitch at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is known for favouring spinners. While the spinning unit in the forthcoming match is likely to benefit, the previous matches have witnessed a balanced surface. Not only this but as the match progresses, the slowness of the pitch can come as an advantage to the pace bowlers as well.
