The 34th game of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is scheduled for Friday, November 3, featuring a face-off between the national cricket teams of the Netherlands and Afghanistan. The match will take place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
Both Afghanistan and the Netherlands are entering this contest with boosted morale, having secured victories in their previous matches against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, respectively.
Afghanistan remains in contention for a spot in the semifinals, having won three out of their six matches in the tournament. Their aspirations are alive, but they must aim for decisive wins in their remaining games to keep their hopes alive. This makes the upcoming match against the Netherlands a pivotal one for them.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands has managed to win only two of their six tournament matches. Their chances of making it to the semifinals are quite slim. However, they can take pride in their strong performances against formidable opponents and are eager to disrupt Afghanistan’s plans in this crucial encounter.
