AUS vs NED, World Cup 2023 Match 24: Team news

At the World Cup, Australia have won both games against the Netherlands. The sides last met in the 2007 edition, when Brad Hodge’s 89-ball 123 helped Australia prevail by 230 runs.

Australia’s campaign is back on track with successive victories against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Adam Zampa, the only frontline spinner in their playing XI, is also back among wickets after battling back spasms. Zampa picked 4-47 and 4-53 in his last two outings. Although his fitness is a concern for Australia, he should be good to go against the Dutch.

Opener Travis Head, who has missed the first half of the World Cup due to a hand injury, has joined the squad, but it remains to be seen whether Australia risk him for this match.

Meanwhile, the Netherlands have pulled off arguably the biggest upset in the World Cup 2023 by beating South Africa, and should draw inspiration from their feat. The presence of seasoned county players like Colin Ackerman, Roelof van der Merwe and Paul van Meekeren has given impetus to their line-up. They are coming into this game with a defeat in a close game against Sri Lanka.

Australia vs Netherlands predicted XIs

Australia: Mitchell Marsh, David Warner, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.

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

Match prediction: Who will win today’s AUS vs NED match?

Given Australia’s form, they are clear favourites. However, the misfiring middle order has been a chink in their armour. Netherlands spinners Aryan Dutt and van der Merwe will look to exploit the visible weakness, instilling some fear in their rivals’ camp.
