The Netherlands sit above England on the ladder at the 2023 Cricket World Cup, and imagine them consolidating that by winning this. Imagine. England would surely just have to quit cricket, never to be seen again.
In all seriousness, this is one of their worst ever tournaments on record, and England, reigning Cricket World Cup champions, have won just one of their seven matches so far to sit dead last. They showed some glimpses of fight against Australia and realistically, they should be too strong for the Netherlands.
Not taking away from the Netherlands at all – they’ve well and truly exceeded expectations, recording wins over South Africa and Bangladesh, and they genuinely look to be building into a credible cricketing nation.
I’m staying away from match betting and digging back into player markets.
