ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Match Prediction 2023 | Match 24 | Australia vs Netherlands – Will the Netherlands defeat cricketing powerhouse Australia? | Oct, 25

AUS vs NED Match Analysis

Australia has made a strong recovery after it appeared that they might struggle in this World Cup. Just a few days ago, the five-time world champions had lost their first two matches and were at the bottom of the points standings. However, two convincing victories, the most recent of which came against Pakistan, have propelled them to the fourth position in the standings.

Australia is suddenly looking strong and dangerous, and with Travis Head on the way back, they might become unstoppable. On Wednesday, Australia will face the Netherlands in Delhi. While the Dutch have displayed great energy, Australia will start as clear favorites in this match.

AUS vs NED Team Preview & Squads

Australia

Australia is coming off a 62-run triumph against Pakistan in Bengaluru, which was highlighted by an incredible 259-run opening stand between Mitchell Marsh (120 off 108 balls) and David Warner (163 off 124 balls).  

Australia’s batting struggled earlier in the season, but their openers’ success in their previous match will boost their confidence. However, their middle order is still suffering. Steven Smith, Marcus Stoinis, and Glenn Maxwell have yet to get rolling and would want to gain some valuable runs in this match.

Josh Inglis did well against Sri Lanka, but he needs to be more consistent. If Travis Head joins the team, he will most likely replace Marnus Labuschagne. Marsh will be able to shift to the No.3 position after Head opens. This will greatly improve the solidity of the Australian middle-order.

Australia will also be relieved that Adam Zampa has returned to form. The leg-spinner has collected two consecutive four-wicket hauls and appears to have found his rhythm. He’ll be especially handy against Dutch batsmen, who struggle against quality spin. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins form a formidable fat bowling three. They are bowling well together and will make life difficult for the Netherlands hitters.

Pat Cummins (c), Josh Inglis (wk), David Warner, Steven Smith, Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head/Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood.

Netherlands

The Netherlands have demonstrated that they are also here to make up the numbers. They defeated South Africa’s heavyweights last week and have fought hard in practically all their other matches. They were 91-6 at one point in their last match against Sri Lanka in Lucknow but went on to amass 262 runs thanks to fifties from Sybrand Engelbrecht (70 off 82 balls) and Logan van Beek (59 off 75 balls).

Colin Ackermann has led the team in scoring with 127 runs in four innings at an average of 31. Then there’s Scott Edwards, whose undefeated 78 against South Africa contributed to the team’s victory.

Bas de Leede, a fast-bowling all-rounder, has had a quiet World Cup so far, but he has been one of the Netherlands’ most productive batsmen in recent times. We anticipate a significant impact from him in this match. De Leede, on the other hand, has not disappointed with the ball. He presently leads the squad in bowling with 7 wickets in 4 innings at an average of 27.28.

With six wickets each, Aryan Dutt and Paul van Meekeren have also been rather consistent. Roelof van der Merwe, a left-arm spinner, will be crucial in this encounter. He is a seasoned spinner, and his ten overs can assist keep Australia’s hitters at bay.

Netherlands Squads

Netherlands

Scott Edwards (c & wk), Vikramjit Singh, Colin Ackermann, Max ODowd, Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Logan van Beek, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Roelof van der Merwe, Paul van Meekeren, and Aryan Dutt.

AUS vs NED outfield report

Arun Jaitley Stadium Delhi

Three games have been played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, with the batting side winning two and the chasing side winning one. Batting first is often the safer bet in this situation.

Temperatures will stay warm and overcast, ranging from 26 to 30 degrees Celsius.

The pitch in Delhi is flat and firm, with plenty of velocity and bounce. There is little in it for the faster bowlers, who will have to fight hard to get wickets. The team batting first will try to score more than 300 runs. The surface slows down in the second inning, giving the spinners some wiggle room.
