This fight is made even more interesting by the fact that Afghanistan's victories against Pakistan and Sri Lanka were consecutive, expert run-chases, whereas the Netherlands have fared far better when defending totals.

his is an important game for Afghanistan and Netherlands. Afghans have the momentum with them as they have beaten Pakistan and then Bangladesh in back-to-back matches. They had beaten England earlier in the tournament. They don't have good record vs the Dutch but they will look to improve on that.

Thank you for the tag.

Before this tournament began, Netherlands had just two World Cup wins while Afghanistan had a solitary World Cup win. With just 12 round-robin encounters remaining in the 2023 World Cup, both these teams are still in the semi-final race. Afghanistan's WC campaign started with back-to-back heavy defeats, but they have won three of their next four matches. All their wins have come against teams that have won the World Cup once. Today's challenge should look relatively easier for them, but they will be wary of the Dutch. Netherlands are the only team so far in this competition to register a win against the rampaging South Africans. They also come into this match on the back of an impressive 87-run victory over Bangladesh. This is almost a must-win game for the Dutch and a few results have to go their way as well. Their opponents are placed slightly better but even Afghanistan wouldn't want any slip-ups, as their hopes have significantly improved after NZ's three successive losses. With two big points at stake, this should be an enthralling contest. Hello everyone! It's #6 vs #8 and Lucknow is all set to host its final match of this World Cup.

While Afghanistan choked England with spin, their batters in the last two matches showed great maturity against Pakistan and Sri Lanka to successfully hunt down totals with ease. Can they win three in a row to jump up to the fifth spot and tie points with Australia and New Zealand? Netherlands, on the other hand, have been led brilliantly by Scott Edwards. If there's something to exploit in the pitch for the bowlers, they can be a dangerous unit, especially while defending totals. Their openers are yet to fire. Can they deliver the goods today? When these two teams faced off against each other in a bilateral series in Doha in January 2022, Afghanistan won the series 3-0. What's in store today? We'll find out. Stick around, toss and team updates coming up in a bit....

Thanks for the tag and thread Madhu di

May the best team win
