Resurgent Australia Face Tenacious Netherlands In Cricket World Cup 2023

Bolstered by the revival of their batting firepower, a rejuvenated Australia will look for another dominating show but need to be cautious when they face a tenacious Netherlands in their next World Cup match in New Delhi on Wednesday. After a disappointing start to their campaign, the five-time champions turned it around with two solid performances against Sri Lanka and Pakistan but they know very well that they can ill-afford to take the Dutch lightly in what is turning out to be a World Cup of upsets.

Cricket World Cup 2023: Pakistan Wary Of Afghanistan Spin Threat At Chepauk

A desperate Pakistan will be wary of a competent group of Afghanistan spinners' ability to strike hard on an often-gripping Chepauk pitch during the World Cup match in Chennai on Monday. A win is mandatory for Babar Azam's side after two successive defeats against India and Australia, as another slip up will severely hamper their ambitions to reach the semifinals of the tournament. Currently, they are in the fifth position with four points from as many matches but their net run rate of -0.456 is a worry, and it needs improvement. Pakistan's big headache will be their batsmen's travails, especially against spinners.

Opener David Warner revealed he did not see the dropped catch which allowed him to go on and make a sensational 163 in Australia's 62-run win over Pakistan in the World Cup at Bengaluru on Friday.

Shaheen Afridi became the second Pakistan cricketer ever after father-in-law Shahid Afridi to claim two five-wicket hauls in ODI World Cups but his heroics were not enough to clinch the victory for his side during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Australia on Friday.
