Match Preview
The Netherlands are set to face Afghanistan in their next fixture of the ODI World Cup 2023 on November 3. The match will take place at India’s oldest cricket stadium, Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The Netherlands, residing on the bottom third spot of the standings, have displayed remarkable gaming skills. Though they have managed to win only two games as of now, they have fought well in the ongoing season.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, despite making a shaky start to the campaign came back stronger in their few recent games. The South Asian team defeated reigning champions, England as well as registered a historical win over Pakistan.
Toss Prediction
In the previous three clashes that they have played in the tournament, the Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards won two of the three tosses. Afghanistan skipper, Hashmatullah Shahidi, on the other hand, also came on top of two of the three tosses. For the forthcoming game at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, we think Edwards would be backed in the toss game and he will have a favourable day in terms of toss.
Win Possibility
The Netherlands have played Afghanistan nine times in the 50-over format. Out of those 9 matches, the South Asian won seven games while Bangladesh managed to win only two games so far. Speaking of the ongoing tournament, Shahid and co. have managed to win three matches, while the Dutch clinched victory in only two games so far. Though the difference is minimal, Afghanistan has a power-packed team and considering their overall experience, we think they will come on top in the forthcoming game.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow will host its last fixture of the ODI World Cup 2023. Speaking of its overall record, the venue has hosted a total of 11 ODI matches with the average first inning score of 226. Considering the average score and how the teams have played lately, we think the first inning score is likely to be around 250-260, while the powerplay score will be 40-45.
